Yes, the 5:1 concentrated extract of Ku Shen (Sophora flavescens) you found at Bristol Botanicals is the one you want.
Ku Shen root herb normally contains 2% oxymatrine. So this means Ku Shen 5:1 extract (= five times stronger) powder should contain 10% oxymatrine.
Thus 2 grams of Ku Shen 5:1 extract powder will contain 200 mg oxymatrine.
I believe the usual starting dose is around 200 mg of oxymatrine once a day, slowly building up to 3 x 200 mg a day. Though I am not entirely sure, as the oxymatrine content of Equilibrant is not given.
The White Tiger brand of Ku Shen tablets contain 200 mg of oxymatrine per tablet.
Some other suppliers of Ku Shen / oxymatrine are here:

Any feedback on the http://www.betterlife.com/product/oxymatrine-300-mg/lloyd-wright/34465 oxymatrine?
Have been on the White Tiger oxymatrine for a while with no issues and wondering if the lloyd wright one is similar as wanting to switch.
