HI Loops,
Good to "hear" your posts again:-)
I try to keep up with reading sometimes.I think I saw you post (or maybe it was someone else, sigh ..bad memory) on the thyroid forum. I'm not posting there much any more as its IMO not a real great place to be anymore. IMO Its really gone down hill, sad, but I guess change happens....now I just wish I could edit out any mention I made to the thyroid forum in previous posts, sigh.
<If you try buying the whole ginseng roots and making tea out of them (which is really good) they can have a *more* calming influence rather than an energizing one>
That's how I loved taking it too! the wholeginseng roots as a tea
small world :-)
It used to take Siberian Gingseng for a few years. I really liked it. That was quite a few years ago though.
I still have them empty bottle here as it contains empty caps(from emptying the powder out to make tea. I still use them when I want to take something and need a cap to put it in.The bottle says "Natural Siberian ginseng, 520g eleutherococcus senticossus 100 capsules..and on the side it mentions how "the contents of the capsules may be emptied and used as a tea"..which is how I used to like taking it too.
Solgar in Oz only have the extracts of herbs now. I think you can get a mix of full herb and extract in the Uk..when I last looked it up or in the US, which personally I think gives more balance than just the extract.
Years ago over here in Oz, it was available as the whole ground root. I like that one and felt it helped more than probably anything else I tried when I wasn't on thyroid meds...if had to finger one thing.
Although maybe P5P B6, and zinc (with some magnesium for balance), or Zinc with VitC lozenges (also not available any more) would be close...I think I stopped when I couldn't buy it any more.
I'll look at the product you mention. Thanks.
Maybe I can get some on my next order.Jan
