taraxtone has about 1500mg of dandelion root/1cap. would i be able to get the same type of results taking straight dandelion root??? or are the other ingredients of some importance also in this mix???

Hmm...that's a good question. I'm not really sure to be honest, but you could definitely give it a try and see what happens. Dandelion root on its own is excellent for you, and so it could only help I would think. I'm not sure if it's a strong diuretic on its own though, if that's what you need. It's great for the liver and colon though, and it helpful for digestion.
