We need an update from all you AVENA SATIVA users

Haven't tried the Solary but the Action Labs is absolute garbage. BTW, if you leave out the BAC brand it does get gooey.

That is a good sign. The vast majority of what is being sold as avena sativa is oat straw foot powder. It sells for about $1.50 a pound and is used commercially in "anti-itch" formulas. (It's the base ingredient in Aveeno, foot lotions and "soothing" soaps.) If you leave it on the shelf... it stays a powder.

If the substance gets gooey and turns to black tar... at least you know you are dealing with a refined extract.

The next step is to rule out that it is Flacshman extract. Flacshman as of a year or two ago (I haven't checked in that long) was still the only commercially available high grade extract. It won't do jack shit to SHBG... but at least it is a quality extract. Very very little of what is sold in health food stores as far as herbals goes reflect much quality in manufacture.

Just got my avena sativa from BAC. Is it easier to take if you take a scoop and leave it out a little while, or just down it fresh out the bottle? I put a scoop in my mouth and took me about 15 minutes to get it from sticking to my roof..lol

BAC's definately gets gooie. I fill my caps over a towel, and I spill some from time to time. It gets sticky and turns into a kind of putty. As I said, I will be getting Free test and total test done next week. My baselines were 7 and 198 respectively. We will see it either has gone up.
