In reply to Confused - please read these med instructions!!, posted by Meri-Tuuli on November 6, 2005, at 9:59:05
Okay I have checked the packet and Kira's website. Something is wrong somewhere.......this is what the website says:
'How many tablets should I take?We recommend a daily intake of 900 micrograms hypericin (a key active ingredient of St John's Wort) - equivalent to a single One-A-Day tablet, or three of Kira's original formula tablets. This is the dosage used in research. The tablets should be swallowed rather than chewed, and should be taken as directed on pack.'
Okay so I have the One-A-Day formula (it says so on the packet). So each tablet should contain 900mg, as stated on their website above. BUT ON THE PACKET IT SAYS:'each tablet contains standardised Ll-160 gently dried extract 300mg of St John's wort'.
Confused? I am! Something is clearly wrong with the labelling on the packet. I wouldn't want anyone thinking that they were the 300mg each tablets when they were really the 900mg tablets. There could be a potential for overdosing!
Could anyone shed any light on this?
I will ring the customer service department tomorrow!!
