What is gentian?
Generic Name: gentian
The use of gentian in cultural and traditional settings may differ from concepts accepted
by current Western medicine. When considering the use of herbal supplements, consultation with
a primary health care professional is advisable. Additionally, consultation with a practitioner
trained in the uses of herbal/health supplements may be beneficial, and coordination of treatment
among all health care providers involved may be advantageous.
Gentian is also known as gentianine, seamless gentian, yellow gentian, bitter root, bitter
wort, pale gentian, and gall weed.
The oral form of gentian has been used to improve appetite and digestion.
Gentian has not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or purity. All
potential risks and/or advantages of gentian may not be known. Additionally, there are no
regulated manufacturing standards in place for these compounds. There have been instances
where herbal/health supplements have been sold which were contaminated with toxic metals or
other drugs. Herbal/health supplements should be purchased from a reliable source to minimize
the risk of contamination.
Gentian may also have uses other than those listed in this product guide.
