If it is taken close to a meal, then some of the nutrition from the meal won't get absorbed.

Does that make sense?
Good post, I agree with all of this.

In Sanskrit, tulsi means literally "the incomparable one" and has been revered since ancient times. Tulsi, the holy basil, is said to have grown at the site of Christ’s crucifixion and is associated with St. Basil’s feast.
