    I am pretty cold when it comes to losing money on shares. I have sold out , kept a few for interest but they have dropped since I got out. I have a big portfolio and am used to having small co , high risk shares, my instinct tells me these will have cash flow problems in the future .TIL are different , they have good distribution and their products are getting more established.

    Have a look at the capsules and they state as follows:

    Arthrem - Each capsule contains 150 mg standardized extract of Artemisia annua plus grape seed oil to enhance natural absorption.

    Arthri-Remedy - Each capsule contains artemisia annua extract 5400mg.

    Try and make sense of it if you can!

    Artemisia Annua is the name of the plant and the active ingredient of the plant is artemisinin,
    I would think Arthrem contains the standardized extract Artemisinin.
    We're as Arthri Remedy just contains the the whole plant material.

    The key word here is standardised. See Blue Horshoe post #94. I'm picking if it's not standardised you have no real idea of the strength, hence why one is half the price!

    Whichever works is the ultimate test.

    i personally think its a case of apples and oranges, and without a scientific evaluation who would know. Go Healthy NZ have a large range of Products. Promisia are focused on one. Possibly Go Healthy are piggy backing off the back of the success of arthrem. Bound to happen.. If o have the choice between coca-cola and supermarket brand cola... i will buy the coca cola ....

    Of the two, GO Healthy is actually the more established brand!

    An encouraging step towards the Australian Market...... early days tho'.

    Arthrem listed as a complementary medicine in Australia

    The directors of Promisia Integrative Limited announced today that the
    dietary supplement, Arthrem, has been listed as a complementary medicine with
    the Therapeutic Goods Administration in Australia.

    Current rules in New Zealand prevent manufacturers of dietary supplements
    from making any therapeutic claims, even if there is clinical evidence of
    such efficacy. The regulations are different in Australia, as Chief Scientist
    Dr Sheena Hunt explains, "Listing as a complementary medicine allows us to
    make evidence-based claims in our advertising and marketing. This means that
    in Australia we can refer to our published clinical trial evidence that
    Arthrem can reduce pain and stiffness associated with osteoarthritis."

    According to the Australian Government's Institute of Health and Welfare,
    more than 2.1 million people in Australia (approximately 9% of the
    population) suffer from osteoarthritis.
