The Claim

In women aged 40–55 with menopausal symptoms, daily supplementation with 50 mg or 100 mg of Eurycoma longifolia water extract (Physta®) for 12 weeks is well-tolerated, with no serious adverse events and no clinically significant changes in vital signs, liver function, kidney function, or metabolic parameters compared with placebo, supporting its short-term safety as a dietary supplement.

Description
1 study reviewed
In plain English

Women going through menopause took a daily plant-extract supplement (from Eurycoma longifolia, sold as Physta®) for 12 weeks. They had no serious side effects, and their blood pressure, liver, kidney, and metabolism tests stayed normal compared to women taking a placebo. That means the supplement is safe to use for a few months.

See the scientific wording

In a 12-week randomized trial involving women aged 40–55 with menopausal symptoms, daily supplementation with 50 mg or 100 mg of Eurycoma longifolia water extract (Physta®) was well-tolerated, with no serious adverse events and no clinically significant changes in vital signs, liver function, kidney function, or metabolic parameters compared with placebo, supporting its short-term safety as a dietary supplement.

Why this might work

The extract contains natural chemicals that work like gentle regulators for the body's hormone systems. They keep stress hormones and sex hormones in balance, calm inflammation, and let organs work normally without causing harm. Because the changes are mild and temporary, the body stays healthy and no side effects occur.
