I was very happy to find this as it is in powder form and not capsules. You can find the health benefits of this online but I drink this for digestion and my mom drinks it for her diabetes. We directly add hot water to a small amount of powder and it gives you a very mild soothing tea. If you are a straight tea drinker like me without adding anything, you wil like the taste. It almost has sweet taste to it. I was happy to find this and am satisfied with its quality and shipping. This is my second purchase. I declined the first time but decided to write this review this time in exchange for the same product free of charge from the company. I am satisfied with the product and it is my honest review.

I purchased this purslane powder to add into my skincare regimen. I added a small amount to a gel I apply to my face for the benefit of the omega 3s. Aside from this I have been taking it orally at max dose indicated for about a week. Too early to see results, however, it is mainly for increasing my omega 3 intake for brain, skin health. Great price! It is very finely ground and will dissolve in gel, or tea. I tried water but it does not separate out in water.

The supplement works fine. However the product is over dried. By over dried I mean burnt in the drying process. I could taste it. When I opened the bag I thought there was chocolate mixed in. I know it was over dried since I have made this supplement personally and know how it tastes. This particular plant takes much longer to dry than other plant materials because of how much water it retains along with the fatty acids the plant stores. This would explain the temperature being turned up to speed the dry time. What is most important, is that the supplement works and I felt the power of the nutrition after taking it, which is awesome! So the over-drying may not have affected the product at all. 4 STARS

Love adding this powder to my daily vegetable shake, since it does not have a flavor. I feel like it might be helping me with my headaches and overall feel like there's less inflammation in the body since I've started using it.

A bit overpriced. I do not know if this is working or not. I have been using for over a month. Supplements are hit or miss.

I was turned to purslane by my brother in law. He may have discontinued it and I have included it in my supplement list for several years, 3, maybe 4. I was attracted by the notion that it added telomeres to the DNA strands and therefore prevented to slowed senescent cells. It may be working, people say don't look 74 and I am and when I look in the mirror, from my POV, I see a 74 years old man. I am still working full time and keep busy around the home. Maybe it is wokring. It is worth a try and don't expect immediate results or changes. Good luck.

I Ordered this product at the recommendation of a physician who cited a well controlled clinical study (no junk science) that demonstrated purslane's effectiveness in treating oral lichen planus. I have been using the recommended amount of 1/8 teaspoon twice daily by dissolving it in green tea. Although it has only been a short time since I began using it, my symptoms have diminished and I am optimistic about it's long-term effectiveness. The powder is extremely fine in texture, dissolves easily, and appears to be clean and not contaminated with other material. The package is attractive and made of heavy-duty re-sealable plastic. So far, for me, this has been a desirable product.

Great way to take high quality herbsI am using it as an alternative to taking fish oilsI get tired of swallowing a bunch of capsules/tablets so thought I'd try this bulk formThe re-sealable packaging is heavy duty which keeps the product fresh and dry and easy to use.I'm using purslane as an alternative to fish oils for omega 3. If I don't take fish oils, my eyes become itchy and dry. I've been using this product for 2 weeks without any issues of dry/itchy eyes returning so as an alternative to fish oils, it works for me.
