Can Spearmint Tea Extract be taken with birth control?

Yes

Is spearmint tea the same as peppermint tea?

No it is not. Peppermint tea has not been shown to be beneficial for androgens like spearmint tea

Is drinking spearmint tea the same as taking tablets?

Yes, it will have the same effect, it is just that many people don't like the taste to drink 2 cups per day so one small tablet instead is much more convenient.

Take 1 capsule per day, ideally in the mornings.
