Overview

Bloodroot extract has a long history of traditional use, however, there is a lack of robust clinical evidence to support its effectiveness for any specific health condition. While some preclinical studies show potential anticancer effects with sanguinarine, the primary active compound, these findings need to be confirmed in human trials. Overall, the effectiveness of this supplement is questionable given the current state of research.

Contains sanguinarine, a compound studied for potential anticancer properties in preclinical settings.

The Bad

Significant safety concerns due to potential for tissue damage and necrosis.
