Thanks Myssi....

for your info. Actually, I'm taking goldenseal for candida...not for a cold. don't know why I posted that!
But I'm just using the powdered form and putting it in room temp water. It's the berberine I'm after (at least that's what I've read), and here's a quote I found:

Berberine and hydrastine act as quaternary bases and are poorly soluble in water but freely soluble in alcohol.

So am I not getting all the berberine when it's only in water? Should I be putting it in alcohol?

Thanks again,

Mary Kay
