Eucommia bark

Ingredient Profile

Modern Research Perspective

Eucommia Bark contains lignans, iridoids, phenolic compounds, and other constituents. Cell and animal studies have examined blood pressure, bone, inflammatory, metabolic, and reproductive mechanisms. Results vary with species, extraction, and dose.

Human evidence is limited and often involves extracts or combined interventions. Blood-pressure effects, pregnancy use, interactions, dose, and long-term safety require clinical supervision.

Traditional Function

In traditional Chinese medicine, Eucommia Bark is sweet and warm. It is used to tonify the Liver and Kidney, strengthen tendons and bones, calm the fetus in selected deficiency patterns, and support the lower back and knees. Use requires pattern-based assessment.
