Essiac Daily Drops
Rene's Naturals
Overview
Essiac Daily Drops is based on a traditional herbal formula with some ingredients showing promising preclinical or limited clinical evidence for their individual benefits. However, the overall efficacy of the specific blend for its marketed claims of cleansing and supporting blood, liver, and lymph nodes lacks robust, high-quality clinical trials.
The Good
Utilizes a traditional herbal formula (Essiac) that has been used for centuries.
Contains Burdock Root, which has shown preclinical antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Includes Turkey Rhubarb, with some promising research on renal and metabolic health.
The Bad
Lack of robust, high-quality human clinical trials specifically on the complete Essiac blend.
The dosage of some key herbs, like Turkey Rhubarb (10mg), appears significantly lower than what has been studied for therapeutic effects (hundreds of milligrams).
Potential for mild laxative effects due to Rhubarb, especially with prolonged use.
