Can someone look at the following two ingredient profiles for celery seed extracts and tell me which one is the best? The first is the 85% 3nb, but has a lower dose/cap. The second is only 15% 3nb, with a much larger dose/cap...

Utilizing a 6:1 standardized extract, Celery Seed-Power constituents include volatile oil, which contains terpenes, especially limonene (60-70%) and selinene (5-10%) and approximately 15% phtalides, principally 3-n-butyl phtalides and its 4.5-dihydro derivative sedanenolide.

Celery seed extract works as a mild diuretic to promote fluid loss from intravascular spaces decreasing the workload on the heart. It also mimics a calcium channel blocker to prevent arterial constriction allowing blood to be pumped throughout the body much easier.

I don't know the exact answer to your question, but i do know celery seed extract is typically dosed in 75mg pills for a total of 150 a day. I have never seen it dosed any other way other that if its a crappy extract, so I would opt for your first choice.

That was my thought, too. I was hoping that the second one would be comparable because its about half the price, but I think I'm just going to stick with the first one. I've used it before, and it definitely keeps the bp in check.

Thanks for everyone's feedback...
