I watched a documentry last night on extraction of some important elements from some trees and plants that were not named for some reasons.THey used this exractions to make drugs and sirops. Luckily that company managed to establish their plants in that Village but they still export their products out of that Country with their Manufacture name and not the chemical names. Now,do you think those drugs and other products will still be as effective as they should be considering the fact that they had to transport them from one climate to a different climate,i mean climate factor (temperature)

alpha 7 I dont think that the climates will affect the medications as I believe that they use climate controlled
packaging to sent their medications and thus they will
be unharmed by any change in the temperature. as they have
spent gadzillion dollars on their medications they will
not be taking any chances.

I think that maybe climate can have a factor on some types of medication if it is an extreme difference, but for the most part I don't believe that climate has as much to do with how medices work as to the individual persons metabolism or how the medicine is kept, I think if you don't store your medicine correctly then you can change their chemical composition and cause yourself major problems if you decide to also take that medicine.
