At a risk of asking a silly question.
How do you consume the product in powder form ??

From looking around I can see the powder / liquid options seem more cost effective than the tablets i`ve been getting.

I use just enough plain yogurt to pick up the powder and turn it into paste. Fruit yogurt tastes better but adds undesirable sugar. This also works for other herbs or supplements available in powder form, usually also much cheaper than capsules or extracts. Given the complexity of many herbs, I always have a query in my mind about what I may be losing in an extract, having in mind the wide range of extraction technique and the different solubilities of the components in the extraction medium. 'Standardized extracts' are only standardized in respect of the degree of extraction of a particular component or sroup of components. IIRC, Ainterol uses supercritical carbon dioxide as an extraction medium.
