Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at the safety of kudzu root (Pueraria lobata radix) in people with type 2 diabetes who take it in specific ways, such as in high doses, for a long time, during pregnancy, or with certain health conditions. The goal is to understand if it causes side effects in these situations.
