Our honest take

Dong quai root extract, 530 mg per capsule, taken one capsule twice a day, so a pack of 100 lasts 50 days at about 12p a day. That makes it the cheaper of our two dong quai products, but there is very little good human evidence for this herb and no authorised claims, so we make no claims about what it does. It can interact with blood thinners and increase sun sensitivity.

The science

Dong quai (Angelica sinensis)· evidence: Insufficient

Dong quai is a root used in traditional Chinese medicine, often in formulas for women. There are very few good-quality human trials of dong quai taken on its own, and those that exist have not shown a clear effect.

There are no authorised health claims for dong quai, so we make no claims about what it does.

Typical dose: Products typically give 500 to 1,500 mg of root or extract a day.

Safety: Dong quai can increase the effect of warfarin and other blood thinners and has been linked to bleeding; stop before surgery. It contains compounds that can make skin more sensitive to sunlight. Do not use in pregnancy or breastfeeding, or if you have a hormone-sensitive condition. Speak to your GP or pharmacist first if you take regular medication.
