Guest guest Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Deanna... Well it sounds like the company is being very " scientific " about it and is giving the exact amount of shatavarin itself contained in the root ..A root would contain other things in it like fiber etc. It is silly to me.....Mary O - " Deana " <squeekyme <herbal remedies > Tuesday, October 12, 2004 11:51 AM Re: Herbal Remedies - DEANNA > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 your right, it has Cellulose and Magnesium Stearate. Like I said this isn't the normal one I buy and I don't like buying anything from Twinlab or Solaray.. I have found their products to be a " consumer " waist of money and not at all the greatness put into them like some other places. I will stick to my Herbal Vedic, I would much rather have the shatavari root in whole form if I could find it in the USA hugs Deana Julie Hensley wrote: > Deana > > 500 mg of the drug can be contained in a pile of cellulose (the > filler) and then put into the pill.
