Do you have a way of verifying the purity or consistency of what you buy? I'd like to try, but I'm wary of snake.oil and ingesting things from which I can't get good provenance. Thanks!
The Oregon Development of Environmental Quality and Oregon Health Authority became very strict with their testing protocols about 20 years ago, and the top harvesting companies follow those guidelines. I'm no longer sure how many harvesters there are, but the companies I trust are Source Naturals, Pure Synergy, and BRI Nutrition. BRI's been a direct harvester for decades, and their price is probably the best. All of these can be found on Amazon. I used to be deeply involved in that world, and used it as an ingredient in one of my own manufactured products, so I still can get it by the kilo at wholesale. But in general, it's not an expensive supplement any more (a lot of competition). I still eat heroic doses of it daily, around a tablespoon a day, which is way more than the suggested effective amt. Generally 1-2 500mg caps is the most people's daily.
Thanks very much, I'm going research route now. I can use all the gut help I can get.
