That seems to be the problem with a lot of things with large national or multi-national companies. Quality doesn't seem to matter as long as they can buy them in as cheaply as possible, keep profits up and the shareholders happy.

I always try support to buy from small companies who rely on their reputation and quality of stock to stay in business. Often their products and customer service are far better.

The problem in this case is that herbals are pretty much unregulated. It's an honor system if you will. They promise that what they sell is actually what they say it is. It's up to the consumers to prove if they are not.

This is something we should all be contacting our congress person about. to get the herbal market regulated like the food and drug markets.
