Scutellaria root extract

Ingredient Profile

Modern Research Perspective

Scutellaria extracts contain baicalin, baicalein, wogonin, and other flavones. Cell and animal studies have explored inflammatory, immune, antimicrobial, hepatic, and neuroprotective pathways, but concentration and bioavailability vary greatly.

Human evidence is heterogeneous and preparation-dependent. Liver safety, interactions, dose, contaminants, and long-term outcomes require standardized clinical evaluation.

Traditional Function

Scutellaria Root Extract represents a concentrated preparation of Scutellaria Root and is traditionally associated with clearing heat and drying dampness. The extract identity, marker compounds, and concentration must be specified and should not be treated as raw root.
