Corydalis generally refers to Corydalis yanhusuo tuber or extract and contains pharmacologically active alkaloids.
The label should identify the source, form, preparation, and active or marker amount when those details determine comparability.
What the evidence can answer
Human research has examined Corydalis in relation to mood and stress-response measures, sleep timing and quality. The amount, source, preparation, population, comparator, and measured outcome determine whether a result applies to a finished product.
Current WQ evidence label: Limited human evidence. This label describes the present evidence context, not a promise of benefit.
Safety and decision context
