Pueraria montana

Also recorded as

• Pueraria lobata (Willd.) Ohwi
• Pueraria thunbergiana (Siebold & Zucc.) Benth.

Synonyms are carried from the source compendium. A species may be traded and studied under more than one name, which is exactly how a safety record gets lost.

Regulatory presence

Health Canada's Licensed Natural Health Products Database holds 8 licensed products naming Pueraria montana 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.

What the records describe

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.

40 of 41 records are shown, ordered so that records carrying a resolvable reference come first.

Recorded adverse effects

Adverse effects reported in the source literature, most often in animal or laboratory models at a stated preparation and dose.
