Anything thats included in that site, originates fromPharmacy Checker.com which is not proven to be a reliablesource for info on natural herbs and vitamins. Anyone whose advice includes Statins is definitely not going to provide an honest "evaluation" of alternatives in my opinion !! When in doubt a good rule of thumb is, check out some of the other 'recommendations' on the site! If you scroll down you will find they are in the business of casting doubt on supplements. In my opinion, this is just another 'quackwatch", an

excellent example of the way pharmaceuticals are sowing seeds of doubt on healthy vitamins, minerals, and herbs (which is occurring much more frequently of late. Coming from these people, I would seriously question the *information*!! I am aware of this product, and in my opinion it is a very good product. I believe we must consider the SOURCE of information, before accepting anything at FACE VALUE these days.Just my 2 cents.Best Regards, JoAnnPlease pass this message or article on to someone else so that they may learn also.Community Newsletters.http://www.alternative-medicine-newsletter.infoCommunity Message Boards.http://www.alternative-medicine-message-boards.info"Do not let either the medical authorities or the politicians mislead you.
