From the information provided, it looks as if the powder is between 6.7 and 10 times more concentrated than the regular powder. In that case the extract powder works out a lot more expensive. PM contains a lot of constituents and as with any extract, the extent to which these different constituents are extracted may vary. Ainterol say that they use carbon dioxide extraction, a process in which the extraction characteristics are controllable to a degree and can be made selective, so one doesn't without further details know exactly what one is getting (or losing). For these reasons I am sticking with the regular powder, for which I now have an established routine. The only downside is that it is inconvenient and cumbersome when travelling, so I intend to order some capsules to cope with this occasional problem.
why not do what I did and get a size "0" Capsule Machine and some gelcaps and make your own capsules?
(Keep Tamping the open side of the Gelcaps Until they are packed full, they hold exactly 500mg of PM when you do)
Then Store them in old Vitamin/PM Bottles or Ziploc pill baggies
(if anyone who does not need to know asks what is in the baggies just claim they are Vitamins/Herbal Allergy Pills or somesuch.)
It still Works out WAY cheaper than the ready made Capsules even after the expense of the capsule machine and the gelcaps.
