Mixing and Drinking Your Ingredients

Based on the ingredients you have, here's information on mixing them with room temperature water and potential bloating:

Mixability with Room Temperature Water

You can mix these ingredients with room temperature water for drinking. However, please note the following:

• Extracts (Astragalus, Jujube, Pine Bark): These are likely to dissolve or disperse well in water.
• Powders (Red Bean, Mung Bean, White Kidney Bean, Black Bean, Almond Flour, Coix Seed): These are fine powders or flour. They will likely disperse and suspend in the water rather than fully dissolve, forming a drinkable mixture. You may need to stir well to prevent settling.

Mixing with room temperature water is generally suitable for these types of ingredients.

Potential for Bloating

Yes, some of the ingredients, particularly the bean powders, can potentially cause gas and bloating, especially if consumed in large quantities.

• Bean Powders (Red Bean, Mung Bean, White Kidney Bean, Black Bean): Beans are high in fiber and certain carbohydrates that can be fermented by gut bacteria, leading to gas production and bloating.
• Other Powders (Almond Flour, Coix Seed Powder): These also contain fiber, which can contribute to gas in some individuals, though typically less so than beans.

Individual tolerance varies. If you experience bloating, you might try starting with smaller amounts or consuming them gradually.
