Coltsfoot & Wormwood Mint Flavor
TerraVita
Overview
This supplement relies heavily on the traditional uses of coltsfoot and wormwood, which lack robust, high-quality clinical trials to support their efficacy, particularly in the glycerite liquid extract form. While some preclinical and traditional evidence exists, specific effect sizes and comprehensive clinical effectiveness are not well-established.
The Good
Uses a glycerite extract, which is alcohol-free and may be suitable for those avoiding alcohol.
Mint flavor may improve palatability.
Aligns with traditional herbal medicine practices for potential respiratory and digestive support.
The Bad
Significant liver toxicity risk from pyrrolizidine alkaloids in coltsfoot
Potential neurotoxicity and seizures from thujone in wormwood with high doses or prolonged use
Lack of high-quality clinical evidence for efficacy in humans
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking traditional herbal remedies, short-term use only
Skip If: Pregnant, breastfeeding, have liver disease, kidney disease, or taking medications that interact with PAs or thujone.
