Whole herb verses concentrate

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I've been away so this is a tardy response but I have the same exact

question that Chambers had. I don't know her email so can't

write to her. but how does one know the milligram dosages with

powered herbs? ie If I fill my own 00 caps, how much of any herb

will that then be?

Thanks,

Via
