Never heard of skin wisdom at all. I've heard of pueraria uk and haven't heard any horror stories, so they'd probably be a safer bet... Skin wisdom could be good though, they certainly cost less, though that could be a consequence of the cheaper packaging.
I imagine the latter is some random person buying bulk sizes of raw herb from one of the major suppliers in Thailand and putting it into capsules with a capsule maker, putting 60 of those in a baggie, and selling them.
Since we don't know what major supplier they're buying from, unless you can find out, we can't know the quality of the herb they're getting.

Thank you very much for your reply and advice, AbiDrew85! I've finally decided to turn to PM after not experiencing results from other programs I've tried. Do you reckon both brands are equally as potent in PM (they both say 500mg)? I really hope to start off with the most potent possible option.

Starting with the most potent option isn't always best. In fact usually it isn't a good idea at all.
MG is of course a mass measurement, it means there's 500mg of mass in each capsule with both options... It doesn't tell us anything about the quality of said mass.
In other words, we really don't know how potent they really are.
I've not heard any real comparison between pueraria uk and better known sources such as Ainterol or Stherb. Which are both original thai producers and sellers. The other seller as I've already stated, I've not ever even heard of, so I REALLY have no idea the potency of their product.
Stherb tends to be the stronger strains compared to Ainterol or any other known Thai producer...
Both pueraria uk and skin wisdom are in the UK, therefore are not producing their own herb (its illegal to grow outside Thailand, it's a government protected plant.)
We do not know where either are getting their herb originally from. Though my bets are that pueraria uk gets theirs from Stherb.

I have, and do, use both Ainterol and PM UK, both work and I can't tell the difference, personally.
PM UK deliver in about 48hours, Ainterol can take a week or 10days.

There you have it then! I'd stick to the PM UK then, since it's a known entity.

Abi Drew,
You mentioned St Herb is a stronger strain than Ainterol although both are 500 mg. Do you know anything about Siriporn? Their caps are only 100 mg. Does that mean they are also a stronger strain?
Thanks

I don't
I imagine if they are any stronger it's not enough stronger to make only 100mg JUST AS powerful a dose as 500mg of Ainterol or St Herb though. So I'd say they'd be a good bet if you need finer tuning control more than anything and don't want to buy in a medium where you can control your dosing independent of capsule size.
IE: I use liquid St Herb. Some use bulk powder Ainterol, I used to use liquid Ainterol.

Thanks guys! I really appreciate your input
. I notice you always give valuable and scientifically sound advice, Abi Drew. I ordered the capsules and cream from PM UK following starting this thread. Everything arrived today - quick service! I'm really looking forward to starting my program, partially now that Julie and Pansy-Mae rate them!
