Artemesinin question

I know this is always asked and is a confusing topic; I have been pulsing art since about march, my dr. only had me on 200mg 2x a day. She recently told me to go up to 400mg 2x a day. What is everyone taking (brand)? The current one I am taking I believe is nutricology super art, which is 1 for 200mg, but its $30 for 60, that would only last me 15 days (pulsing I know, but still). The other one is just nutricology art which is 2 capsules for 200mg, but that would mean taking 8 a day. I saw one by allergy research that is 500mg but its called artemesia, is that what everyone is using??

Just wondering.. thanks!

Artemisia is the unrefined herb, "Artemisia annua", also known as "sweet wormwood".
Artemisinin is the "active constituent" of the herb, Artemisia; however, Artemisia contains only 0.3-0.5% Artemisinin ! According to the label of the Allergy Research Group Artemisinin, the product is at least 98.5% pure Artemisinin. That's a HUGE difference in potency. That's also true of the Nutricology Artemisinin - see below.

Both the Allergy Research Group product and the Nutricology product are produced by the same company, and are identical except for the label. However the parent Allergy Research Group product is marketed to medical professionals and is rarely discounted, whereas the Nutricology product is marketed to the general public and is offered at substantial discounts by various companies. The best price I have found is $94.95 for the 300 capsule bottle of the Nutricology Artemisinin. They are 100 mg capsules. It pays to do an internet Search!

Cindy - I take Allergy Research Group Artemisinin (100 mg capsules) and I followed close to what LLMD MR suggests.
Try to get up to 1500 mg daily for days you're on it.

I started off low dose and increased daily for 4 days on. I did get up to 1500 mg at one point, but it was strong.
400 mg twice daily isn't a high dose.


What is your pulsing schedule like?

So there's Artemsia Annua (whole herb)

- Artemisinin (active constituent

- Artesunate (even stronger)

- dihydroartimisinin (strongest)

She wants me doing 2 weeks on 2 weeks off. So that means you are taking 15 pills a day when you take it? I was just trying to take not as many pills...
