Maybe i have misunderstood, but does stomach acid degrade the compounds or aglycones? What is the benefit of the coating? Wouldnt the compounds dissolve in the stomach juice and later absorb in the intestines? I know the general benefits, bought it myself during black friday, first time buying btw, but what are the differences in effect between powder vs tablets?

The glycosides work slightly differently than the aglycones when the reach the small intestine, due to their metabolism by probiotics. If you let them acid hydrolyze in the stomach, then it changes their pharmacokinetics. Protecting them from that stomach acid lets you absorb more, and make the cognitive effects more pronounced.
