The brands of resvertrol are US but my impression is that the major suppliers of the bulk resveratrol ingredients are Chinese or Indian. When I look at the labels of several brands of resveratrol I see remarkable agreement in the listing of "other ingredients" (including no mention of emodin though it is near-certain to be there for a knotweed-derived product). This leads me to suspect that the supplement companies are taking the word of their Chinese or Indian suppliers and simply putting the stuff they buy in bulk into pills without even doing their own analyses. If they get shipped rice powder, they put the rice powder in their capsules. Revgenetics is fairly unique in publishing an independent laboratory analysis of content. They also report having had to reject bad batches of resveratrol shipped to them. As for me personally, as long as I am experiencing the emodin laxative effect I know I must be getting a good dose of resveratrol. Of course this does not address the absence of quality-control issue you mention which applies to the supplement industry in general. Res:

And the result may not even make it to 500grams or even half that as they advertise. Sometimes the entire capsule when opened smells and tastes like plain rice powder. Unless we have more professional medicine suppliers get into the resveratrol business, we cannot avoid such fraudsters I guess. So rather than emodin, I worry if these contain plain rice powder.. :-)) Regards Hi Vince
