Costus
Hawaii Pharm
Overview
Costus extract has been traditionally used for its potential anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. While in vitro and animal studies show promising results, especially regarding liver and kidney health, there is limited high-quality human evidence to support these claims. The lack of standardized dosing and comprehensive safety data necessitates caution and consultation with a healthcare professional before use.
