Where the evidence stands

Heenbovitiya (Osbeckia octandra) has a long history of traditional Sri Lankan and Ayurvedic use for jaundice and liver complaints. The supporting research on its liver effects is preclinical: laboratory (in vitro) work and animal studies, including models of chemically induced liver injury, drug induced liver injury, cirrhosis, and diet induced fatty liver disease in rodents. These studies are promising, but no human clinical trials have yet tested whether Heenbovitiya benefits the human liver, and published reviews note that further clinical studies are still needed. Nothing on this page should be read as a claim that this product treats, cures, or reverses any liver condition.

If you have a diagnosed liver condition, or symptoms such as jaundice, unusual fatigue, abdominal pain, or dark urine, please see a doctor. A supplement is not a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment, and self-treating a real liver problem with any herbal product can delay the care you need.
