I am a newbie but a long time lurker--is that an oxymoron? Feeling really bad today but I found a link to an herbalist site regarding among other things-a product called tribulus. Anyone try this?
Among the other things: Herbalist claims Andographis that comes herbally is not what it claims. If I understand correctly.
Easy read--thank you all [bow]

This site sounds a bit alarmist- they don't mention what brands of contaminated herbs they're referring to. Reputable herbal suppliers actually DO a lot of this kind of testing- for instance, Herb Pharm, makers of tinctures, has a huge amount of info online (mostly in podcast form) about the HPLC and GC testing that they've done. The industry is well aware of issues when dealing with sources from China for instance, and they do take a lot of precautions.

tribulus is a really good general reproductive system tonic for the same reasons they describe. It's really commonly recommended for men's reproductive health, but has several useful actions in women as well.
