What it’s for

Popular enough that people ask about it by name, so it is here with the honest label: a plant extract, sold as a supplement.

What to check in the listing

This is the one on the page most worth a pharmacist conversation before you start: it interacts with a long list of medicines, including several for blood sugar and blood pressure. It does not sit well with everyone. Not for pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Supplements are food, not medicine: nothing here treats or prevents anything. If you take any medicine, ask a pharmacist first.

At a glance

TypeSupplement
FormCapsulesForm is how it arrives: something to swallow, something to stir into a drink, something to eat, or the kit that goes with them rather than a supplement itself.
PriceMid-rangePrice tier is the rough position within its category, not a live price: budget is the cheapest sensible option, premium costs more for a reason the page explains.
