What the source shows

54 adults participated in a six-month placebo-controlled trial.

Research gaps

  • ·Oral findings do not establish benefits of intravenous administration or broad “detox” claims.
  • ·Short profile: not a complete benefit–risk assessment. Unlisted contraindications and interactions are not adequately established in this profile; missing information does not establish safety.
