"Q-When is the best time to take an herb?
A-In general herbs are best taken on an empty stomach."
Copied this from above.
Most herb bottles say something like "best taken with food."
What's the story here.
Here is what I do... Some herbs upset my stomach when empty. So I take them about 15 minutes before eating something, even if it's just a peanut butter sandwich.
Hope it helps.
