Safety & regulatory
Is Bacosane® safe?+
Acute (5,000 mg/kg) and 28-day subacute (up to 1,000 mg/kg/day) oral-toxicity assessments in albino rats reported no mortality, apparent toxicity or significant therapy-related differences vs controls. These preclinical evaluations confirm an exceptionally high safety threshold.
Are there any known side effects?+
Preclinical toxicology studies (acute 5,000 mg/kg and 28-day sub-acute up to 1,000 mg/kg/day) demonstrated an excellent safety profile with no observed toxicity. As with any botanical ingredient, formulators should provide standard consumer guidance for pregnant or lactating individuals.
