Summary: The authors compile many studies on individual components of Garcinia kola in this overview and summarize the findings of these studies. They emphasize their conviction of the high potential of Garcinia kola as a 'miracle plant' and its active ingredients found in all parts of the plant. However, they also stress the need for clinical studies on human subjects to thoroughly investigate the effects and dosage, as bitter kola can be toxic in high amounts.
