Overview

The effectiveness of Fo-Ti Tieng 12:1 Extract Powder is based largely on traditional use, with limited high-quality clinical evidence. While some studies suggest potential benefits for cognitive function and cholesterol, these are not fully established, and optimal dosing for these effects is unclear. The 12:1 extract ratio indicates a concentrated form, but without information on the standardization of active compounds, its potency is difficult to fully assess.

The Good

The Bad

High risk of liver toxicity, which can be severe.
