Guest guest Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 I have a question about the safety of American Scullcap (Scutellaria Lateriflora). I read that some American scullcap was mixed with Germander (Teucrium Chamaedrys), which caused liver damage and could be fatal. I bought a couple of bottles of Nature's Answer Skullcap, alcohol free, liquid tincture. I can't find any info online to put me at rest about the possibility of this brand being mixed with Germander. On the ingredient label, it just says coconut glycerin and purified water. I want verification that there's no chance that this scullcap is not pure. I've emailed the company, and am waiting for a response. Any information or opinion will be appreciated, thanks. Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I am a big user of scullcap. The best thing I can tell you to do is to go to the health food store with the bottle and ask if they know about that brand. I buy my scullcap in bulk at a whole foods store that carries herbs. I then cap it in gel caps or make my own tincture. That way I know exactly what is in it. Kandy Lovan I have a question about the safety of American Scullcap (Scutellaria Lateriflora) .
