Looking for source for Japanese Knotweed

[South]

@bertiedog On the Cowden website, they recommend Samento which is a brand name of cat's claw, which you'd mentioned you read was a vasodilator. (I haven't read up on that, but wanted to send this your way)

@South Thanks for pointing that out and yes I seem to have trouble with migraines when I take Samento too despite what Nutramedix have said. Going to leave it off for a while and then try just once daily. Banderol seems to be good and I tolerate that fine.

Just a warning that Japanese knotweed contains emodin, which can cause vomiting and other digestive problems. I refer to it here, and there are other posts mentioning it too.

As with many other diseases, findings in mice (and other non-human species) have not translated to findings in humans in about 50% of cases. You may as well toss a coin. It really is a waste of time, money and lives.
