Comfrey
Hawaii Pharm
Overview
This Comfrey Leaf Extract liquid supplement is marketed for general health. While comfrey has been traditionally used for various conditions, primarily topically for musculoskeletal issues, there is limited high-quality evidence for its effectiveness when taken orally and significant safety concerns. The primary concern is the presence of pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs), which can cause liver toxicity. Therefore, caution and medical supervision are advised.

Comfrey has a long history of traditional use for various ailments.
Relatively high dosage of comfrey leaf extract per serving (983mg).
The Bad
Potential liver toxicity with internal use due to pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs).
Limited evidence for the effectiveness of oral comfrey.
May cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
