Product Notes:

Essiac traditional herbal medicine is available in either liquid or capsule form, in equal strength. You may find the Essiac Herbal Capsules are more convenient to take: ideal for use at work or while travelling.

Branding Notes

The liquid Essiac formula was previously sold as "Extract Formula" and is now marketed as "Herbal Extract". This is the same product and formula with a new name.

Similarly, for the type newly marketed as "Essiac Herbal Capsules,” this is the SAME formula formerly marketed as "Essiac Vegetable Capsules." This formula was also historically available under the name "Rene M. Caisse" (after the developer - 'Essiac' is just 'Caisse' spelled backwards).
