Dong Quai Root Mint Flavor
TerraVita
Overview
This Dong Quai root glycerite liquid extract leverages the traditional uses of Angelica sinensis. While preclinical and some clinical data suggest anti-inflammatory and estrogenic properties, high-quality human clinical trials for many of its purported benefits, especially for gynecological conditions, are limited and inconsistent. The glycerite form is beneficial for alcohol-free consumption.
