Cynomorium songaricum
The EFSA Compendium of Botanicals holds 3 constituent measurements and 2 adverse-effect records for Cynomorium songaricum. This page reports what those source records contain and how to reach them. It carries no effect estimate, no dose and no recommendation.
Accepted name in source: Cynomorium songaricum Rupr.
Regulatory presence
Health Canada's Licensed Natural Health Products Database holds 72 licensed products naming Cynomorium songaricum as a medicinal ingredient, matched on the exact Latin binomial. A licence records that a product met the regulator's requirements for sale in Canada. It is not evidence that the product works.

Recorded constituents
What analytical work has found in this species, at which plant part and preparation. A measured constituent is a fact about material, not about effect.
| Substance | Plant part | Preparation | Concentration | Analytical method | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tannins | Stem / stalk | Solvent extraction | 18.3 Percent | High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)/Liquid Chromatography (LC) | Resolve DOI |
| Saponins | Unspecified | Solvent extraction | ≥ 3.69 Percent | Colorimetry, Spectroscopy (Spectrometry) and Photometry | No resolvable identifier |
| Saponins | Unspecified | Solvent extraction | ≤ 6.69 Percent | Colorimetry, Spectroscopy (Spectrometry) and Photometry | No resolvable identifier |
Recorded adverse effects
Adverse effects reported in the source literature, most often in animal or laboratory models at a stated preparation and dose.

Boundary
A constituent measurement is a fact about material at a stated preparation, not a statement about what that material does in a person. An adverse-effect or genotoxicity record is an observation reported in a source, most often in an animal or laboratory model. Neither is a Metatron Health conclusion about causality, human risk or benefit, and the absence of a record is not proof that a preparation is safe. Nothing here is diagnosis, prescribing or individual medical care.
