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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Harmane alkaloids | Aerial part of plants | Solvent extraction | — | Chromatographic tests | No resolvable identifier |
| Harmine | Aerial part of plants | Solvent extraction | — | Chromatographic tests | No resolvable identifier |
| Harmol | Aerial part of plants | Solvent extraction | — | Chromatographic tests | 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.
| Effect | Target tissue | Plant part | Preparation | Test organism | Test type | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Neurotoxicity | Neurologic: central nervous system | Aerial part of plants | Drying (dehydration) | Rat (as animal) | Subchronic | No resolvable identifier |
| Neurotoxicity | Neurologic: central nervous system | Aerial part of plants | Drying (dehydration) | Rat (as animal) | Subchronic | No resolvable identifier |
| Neurotoxicity | Neurologic: central nervous system | Aerial part of plants | Drying (dehydration) | Rat (as animal) | Subchronic | No resolvable identifier |

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.
