Hi Liliths,
Hmmmmm, well I studied chemistry at college but I think mitragynine extraction is beyond my capabilities right now! It would be an interesting challenge to try though.
Zach, is mitragynine listed in the Merck Index by any chance?
>Standardization of herbal products, supplements, even vitamins have always been an issue. For that matter, the same questions have been raised about 'generic' drugs.
That's true. I guess your optimum dose may vary from day to day in any case as your stress levels and tolerance fluctuate? The same thing happened to me with benzos. If you were using a tincture you're bound to get a slightly different dose each time you take it anyway.
I'll just ask the companies some generic questions about their quality control - lab certificates and testing etc.
Will keep you posted.
