Dear W
There is nothing wrong with extracts. Please understand why Solgar is purchasing an extract from their supplier Bio-BOTANICAL.
They are using wild Pueraria Mirifica which is very erratic. Some is good some is junk and some of what they are getting is Pueraria candolle which for all practical purposes looks like Pueraria Mirifica but it is not.
Villagers rummage through the jungle to find this stuff for just a little money. It is processed shipped to America for further processing.
There bio-botanical runs it through a process which they employ a standard to " concentrate " one of the actives. They were advertising a number/ 100 gram. They got some complaints filed against them....I believe they stopped. Why because it is highly doubtful that they can measure the active.
Solgar brand is using a "B" material. Nothing wrong with it but over priced for it's value.
Legitimately farm brands are far better. St. Herb used to sell a farmed brand. I was recently told that he is selling wild and stating it is farmed...not 100 per cent on that.
