Is there one or two major suppliers - reliable?
Are the herbs reasonably fresh and generally potent?
Yes, very good. Just received Bilva yesterday. (described on the health thread). Many kinds now come in tablets or capsules which people often prefer; I like the powdered kind more.
Shortly I’ll post info on the health thread about dealing with blood sugar and cholesterol issues.

Banyan Botanicals is excellent, often a bit more expensive. Starwest Botanicals is good. I only buy certified organic.
these companies have their own labs and test for contaminants and that the herbs are what they say they are. There are other good brands. If you’re looking for particular herbs you can freepmail me. I’m going to post some herb info on the natural health thread in a bit.
