Usnea
Hawaii Pharm
Overview
This Usnea extract primarily aims to provide antimicrobial and wound-healing benefits. While usnic acid, a key component, has demonstrated antimicrobial activity in vitro, human clinical trials are limited. The effectiveness of this specific product for its intended uses requires further research. The 1:3 dry herb/menstruum ratio suggests a concentrated extract, but individual responses can vary.
The Good

Potential antioxidant benefits from polyphenol compounds.
Concentrated liquid extract for easy consumption and dosage adjustment.
The Bad
Limited human research to support all traditional uses.
Potential for liver damage with high doses of usnic acid.
May interact with blood thinners and diabetes medications.
