Herb

Taraxacum root preparations used as foods or traditional herbal products. Reviews catalogue extensive phytochemistry and preclinical findings, but controlled human evidence for root-specific clinical benefits remains sparse.

Pharmacokinetic model

A route-level PK model for dandelion root is being prepared from published data. Dosing references, studies, and documented interactions are below; the app catalog is updated as models are validated.
