Evening Glory said:I, on the contrary, get more stomach discomfort with D. stramonium seeds than without. They seem to shut down my digestive system, and I get LOTS of gas as a result. It is not very nice... Think I am going to try and use Mandrake instead.
In the leaves of the Atropa belladonna the alkaloid contents were reported to be 0.4% in the leaves, 0.5% in the roots and 0.8% in the seeds.
Wow, thanks man! That really is interesting - I have been looking for other options high in hyoscyamine for a while. I have no idea if scopolamine is the reason behind my problems, or perhaps something completely else in the seeds, but I can easy check that with trying a few different varieties with these alkaloids. I will definitely try A. belladonna and report back, thanks again!69ron said:Look at thisIn the leaves of the Atropa belladonna the alkaloid contents were reported to be 0.4% in the leaves, 0.5% in the roots and 0.8% in the seeds.
The seeds are slightly more potent than Datura stramonium seeds by weight. You want to use about 20 mg of Atropa belladonna seeds to equal about 3 Datura stramonium seeds.

Do you by any chance have the raw data that you refer to with your dosage advice? I'm a sucker for facts...![]()
