So you may be asking…Oils? In a capsule?
Absolutely! YL oils are made of the highest quality of oils and if you’re looking to maximize general body absorption, taking oils via vegetable capsules is a great way to use! Any oils within the Vitality line are labeled for internal consumption. (Keep in mind, other oils have been safely used internally as well, but to stick with FDA compliancy, YL has labeled internal use oils under the vitality oils line.)
WHICH CAPSULES TO USE-
Glad you asked! Capsules used are generally made from polysaccharides from a vegetable/plant based source. The best size to work with is 00, and YL actually sells capsules:
If we happen to be out of stock, you can also find them on Amazon or possibly your local health food store!
A couple of good general rules of thumb when making oily capsules (to ensure the best absorption and comfort during absorption) are:
- Starting out, it may be best not to take on an empty stomach. Oils are fast absorbing and especially with spicier oils, taking with meals will ease any feeling of burning or feelings of reflux.
- Dilute with your favorite carrier oil! Many people use fractionated coconut oil or olive oil instead of regular coconut oil just because it stays at a liquid consistency and is easier to use. However, giving the coconut oil a good swish or two in your hand once you’ve closed the capsule should liquify it. Also, getting yourself a dropper may help once in liquid form! Everyone is different with diluting ratios but a good way to start is using a 3:1 ratio (3 drops of carrier oil to every 1 drop of EO of choice). Reminder: filling the longer half of the capsule will be way easier to fit all you need within the capsules.
Feel free to mix any blend of oils as well! 1-3 drops of each with using the 3:1 dilution ratio (3 drops of carrier oil per 1 drop of oil) depending on how much you can fit in the capsule. Each person is different so test it out to see what works best for you!Â
