Baicalin (Scutellaria baicalensis)

Tier 3 — weak evidence · Inflammation · Neuroprotection · Liver

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.

Dose: 250–500 mg/day standardised extract; human trial evidence still limited
