I have been made aware of an Oxford study stating the cytotoxicity of cryptolepsis. I wanted to get your opinion on the safety of cryptolepsis considering the findings of this study. This was at toxsci.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/70/2/245.
This study was looking only at the herb’s potential anticancer actions. The study shows it may have promise in cancer treatment. The study was conducted in test tubes only; it isn’t something to draw conclusions from. The herb itself has been used long term in Africa for malaria and has no side effects that I have been able to find, even in studies that were looking for side effects in humans who were using large doses of the herb.
