Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum)
Hawaii Pharm
Overview
Buckwheat seed extract shows modest effectiveness, primarily in reducing total cholesterol. While clinical studies support these benefits, the effect sizes are small and may not be clinically significant on their own. The liquid extraction method and specific concentration of active compounds, like rutin, are not fully detailed, which could impact overall efficacy.
