ampalaya capsules and tea or just eat the fruit and leaves?
It is important to emphasize that CharaGen® is
not to replace the food and vegetable requirement of a person.
CharaGen® Forteis in capsule form to give you the convenience of
taking this remarkable vegetable. However, eating ampalaya/ bitter
melon is advisable to supply our vegetable requirement in our
daily dietary intake. But most people do not have the luxury of
time to cook or eat ampalaya on a daily basis, as such, CharaGen®
capsules and tea is a convenient alternative to supply the
benefits of ampalaya because of two reasons - 1. Uniformity of
nutritional values in capsule form compared to raw vegetables, and
2. better compliance because it is not bitter to
taste.
