Hi All,

 

Just wanted to let you know that I received a prompt and courteous

response from Nature's Answer, assuring me that their product is

thouroghly inspected for contamination in each and every batch, and

they've been making this particular product for 30 years.

 

Also, they said that the Germander incidents a few years ago

contaminating scullcap, did not involve their company or products at

all.
