What it is
A flavonoid from Chinese skullcap with anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects in lab studies. A handful of small human trials suggest possible benefits for liver inflammation, but clinical evidence is still limited with most data from cell and animal research. More rigorous human RCTs are needed. Generally well tolerated at standard doses.

Take with food to reduce stomach upset. Avoid taking with alcohol or liver-stressing medications. Morning or early afternoon is fine — no specific timing advantage.
