    Published in Phytotherapy Research

    Methodology

    In-vitro screening of Polygonaceae extracts, including Rumex crispus, for xanthine oxidase inhibition.

    Key Findings

    Several Rumex extracts inhibited xanthine oxidase, suggesting a mechanism relevant to traditional use in inflammatory and gouty conditions.

    Conclusions

    Rumex crispus shows in-vitro enzyme inhibition that has not been tested in humans.

    Limitations

    In-vitro only; extract-specific results; no bioavailability data.

    Supplements Studied

    Several Rumex extracts inhibited xanthine oxidase in vitro.
