When you say you still find skullcap effective, what are you referring to, ie in what way is it still effective? Playing a partial role in suppressing PEM?
I have lots that I bought and at the time felt I was seeing positive results but was taking it with Apiginen and I started rotating onto something else. Really need to be more systematic and journal to keep track.
