In my opinion, the whole "herbal" market is a bunch of unregulated drugs. Think about it. All prescription drugs started out as a plant derivative. They may be synthesized in a lab in a more concentrated or altered form to make them more effective, but somewere along the line the drug started out as a plant. Cocaine is "herbal" if you want to get technical about it. The herbal supplement market reminds me of the snake oil salesmen of the old west. Some of it might help, some of it is downright dangerous, and most of it does nothing at all. You have no idea of knowing how concentrated the product is or how ethical the company making it is. There's little to no regulation (at least in the US) for manufacturing and storage. Buyer beware.
