Here's something I've never seen.
Starlink going across the sky.

We're just not used to seeing this. Pretty amazing.
This was Tues. Hoping for more tonight.

This is true plant lust.
Finally got it. Apiaceae 2025. Priceless.

A common photo fail.
An involucre is a set of bracts (not leaves) under the inflorescence (group of flowers).

Adulterant of gotu kola (Centella asiatica) is Hydrocotyle umbellata. Look at where the stem ends at the leaf.

It's not so much the sirtuin biochemistry, as the cardioprotective berberine info later in this very long paper.

Could berberine replace expensive drugs?

Berberine and its derivatives: mechanisms of action in myocardial vascular endothelial injury - a review

A 38-page review. Also, a good introductory paper on herbs and mechanism of action.

Ever wondered if pink yarrow was as strong as the white?
Now we know.

In general, white inflorescences accumulated a higher amount of compounds compared to pink inflorescences.

Really trying to take care of my health.
Smoothie with creatine, collagen, magnesium/calcium, fish oil (Barleans flavored), and raspberry jam.

Berberine is starting to get a ton of research.
Seems to lower LDL, has cardiovascular benefits.

Only question is how does it work with one's current medications for the heart.

Moose are just as dangerous. See little black speck?
