Turkey Rhubarb
Herbal Terra
Overview
Herbal Terra Turkey Rhubarb leverages the traditional uses and emerging research on Rheum palmatum. While a systematic review and meta-analysis support its efficacy in improving renal function markers, and some studies suggest metabolic benefits, precise dosing for specific conditions is not universally established. The product provides 970 mg of dried root liquid extract per 1mL serving, but without standardization of active compounds like anthraquinones, the consistency of its effects may vary.
