Most s are distributed not as raw botanicals but

January 2nd, 2009

Most Chinese herbal medicines are distributed not as raw botanicals, but as a concentrated powder form made from extractions of the raw material. This not only makes the medicine last longer, but makes it easy to mix in water, applesauce or tea. Since the powders are already used in liquids to administer, why not stick it into Coca-Cola? The research is into whether the Chinese herbal medicine powders will remain as effective in the planned line up of Coke drinks rather than taken as it is now. Coke will no doubt do a lot more research before putting any drinks on the market. Owing to it’s size and wealth, Coca-Cola has the money for intensive research.
