Guest guest Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Apparently, the active ingredient is from nature,...star anise to be precise. They are trying to replicate it and make a synthetic version of the active compound, but as of yet no joy. Incidentaly, the farmers that harvest this crop once a year in China, still only get a pittance for their crop. The people who buy off them and ship it out on the other hand.......................no surprises, same old exploitation.
