RRL tea or Vcaps?

[Family4Christ]

I'm trying for the most economical way of buying RRL. I can get 100 Vcaps of organic RRL (500mg a cap) for $16 shipped or I can get 1/2lb of pregnancy tea (RRL, nettle, alfalfa and peppermint) for $17 shipped.

Which would be best absorbed and get the most minerals? I know Susan Weed says to use an ounce of herb to a quart of water as an infusion and that would be a month's supply if I drank 1 cup a day. The caps would last almost 2 months.

Help!

I don't have an answer for you, but I do not care for RRL tea, so I was thinking of going with the capsules. I'm just not sure how much to start out with. I know I take tons at the end of pregnancy, like 6 a day, but at the beginning I'm thinking maybe just 1 or 2 a day?

Alisha, 2 caps are 1000mg, as is the average tea bag. So, 2 should equal 1 cup of tea. HTH!
