Red Raspberry Leaves Capsules

Has anyone tried the capsules instead of drinking red raspberry leaf tea? I really don't like any kind of tea at all, but found that you can buy the RRL in capsule form. I'm wondering if the capsules would have the same benefits....

    I've read that the capsules are pretty much the same just make sure you're taking a high amount. I found a 900mg capsule and it was recommended to take it 3x/day.

  • Most people use the capsules, actually.
  • I found the capsules to be easier to take with my first pregnancy than the multiple cups of tea a day. I intend on switching to the capsules around 32weeks with this pregnancy, currently taking one to two cups of the tea. I think mine are 450mg.

  • With my first i was drinking 5 cups day! With this baby i am going to start with two tabs for 4 weeks then up to 3, for four weeks, then 4 until 4-6 weeks post partum...
    It can help your uterus shrink faster and help with milk, so keep going even after baby is here!
    Good luck!

    Oh also my tabs are 450mg each

    Started TTC in 2006, LOTS of trying, and trying, and 7 rounds of IVF with 13 embryos, 2 perfect little boys and 5 loses....
    All finished with babies, started to make diet changes, Keto, to be MORE for my kids, lost 30 pounds, still going, and 3 months in, I had a natural cycle, and then ovulated... Hubs and I are going to see what happens now... Maybe a natural pregnancy? After everything we have been through? Or just a return to normal hormones? We shall see what the future holds!

  • Thanks for the info on this ladies!! I didn't know anything about red raspberry leaf. I was planning on doing all the tricks in the book starting at 37wks, didn't know that was one of them! 

    I gotta get my butt to the local health food store :)
