What ND products equate to these?

I'll give it a shot again but I've compared them side by side with proportional dosages based on a post you had made at the time relating to bioavailability, and the phytosomal version was infinitely more stimulating.
I've actually got some leftover with SmartPS Green, will let you know what I think.
(On another note Baikal is amazing!)

Do you mean proportional doses of active? So comparing 500mg of our quercetin to 1.5 grams of the Quercefit? That would be an expensive dose of Quercefit. Try taking our 500mg quercetin with 2 Smart PS Green softgels at the same time and compare. It's the presence of lecithin at the time of dosing that is key.
I am not opposed to selling Indena's phytosomes, but I was a bit disappointed that they are being positioned as similar to liposomes, when they are more like spray dried emulsions. The big issue is that researchers out there are using the term "phytosome" to mean something different than Indena means. Indena says they own the trademark to that word, so everyone else is incorrectly using the term. However, people are going to read those scientific papers on the scientific term "phytosome" and think taking one of Indena's Phytosomes® is going to be the same thing, when they are not.
