Authorised wording, and whose it is

Taraxacum officinale is traditionally used in Herbal Medicine as a diuretic. Taraxacum officinale is traditionally used in Herbal Medicine to increase the amount of urine to achieve flushing of the urinary tract as an adjuvant in minor urinary complaints.

Read that block again

All four therapeutic statements on this licence name the dandelion. D-mannose is the largest ingredient by weight and it carries no authorised use of its own on NPN 80137878, and neither does the cranberry that the storefront handle leads with. That is a fact about the licence rather than about the plant, and it is the honest way to describe what Health Canada assessed.

Per capsule

One non-medicinal ingredient

Hypromellose is the capsule shell. The licence lists nothing else in the non-medicinal column, so there is no flow agent, no filler and no lubricant declared against this formula. That is rare in this catalogue, where most capsules carry three.

Dose and duration

The licence sets two capsules once daily for adults 18 years and over. Two a day empties a 180-capsule bottle in 90 days. The pack directs you to take them with enough fluid.

Questions

Is the 1000 mg on the handle the per-capsule figure?

No. One capsule holds 500 mg of D-mannose and the two-capsule serving comes to 1000 mg.

What does the 20:1 next to the dandelion mean?

50 mg of a 20:1 extract is prepared from 1000 mg of dried herb. The panel prints both numbers so the concentrate and the starting material are each visible.

How long should I take it for?

The pack says to consult a health care practitioner if symptoms persist beyond two weeks.

Anything to check before taking it?

Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you are taking blood thinners, if you have a history of kidney stones, or if you have liver or gall bladder diseases or intestinal obstruction. Ask a health care practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
