Coral Burdock Root is a dietary supplement manufactured in the USA for Coral Club. Each capsule carries 500 mg of burdock root powder and 100 mg of burdock root extract, and the bottle holds 90 capsules.
How long a bottle lasts
Coral Club directs one capsule three times a day with a meal, so the daily amount is three capsules — 1500 mg of root powder and 300 mg of extract. A bottle of 90 covers 30 days at that rate.
What the manufacturer states
According to Coral Club, the combination of crushed root powder and concentrated extract supports healthy metabolism and the body's natural detoxification processes as part of overall wellness.* The card describes burdock root as a natural source of inulin, a prebiotic fiber that nourishes beneficial gut bacteria and supports digestive health, and notes that it contains phytonutrients that help maintain a healthy balance of gut microflora.* Coral Club adds that it supports the body's natural elimination processes and contributes to digestive and liver health.*
Powder and extract are not interchangeable
The capsule carries both forms, and they do different things. The 500 mg of root powder is the dried root itself, ground — which is where the inulin content the card refers to comes from. The 100 mg of extract is concentrated material, and the card declares neither its extraction ratio nor any standardization figure, so how much plant that 100 mg represents cannot be established from the label.
Burdock belongs to the daisy family
Arctium lappa is a member of the Asteraceae, alongside ragweed, chrysanthemum, marigold and chamomile. Sensitivity within that family is well documented in dermatology, and anyone who reacts to plants in it should take advice before using this product. A source is listed under Research.
An unresolved point on the capsule shell
The card states two different things. Among the product labels it reads "Capsules made from beef gelatin". In the ingredient panel the other ingredients list reads "Capsule (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, water)" — a plant-derived shell.
Both cannot be true. Until Coral Club resolves it, an animal-derived ingredient in the shell cannot be ruled out, and the printed label on the bottle is the reference. The same discrepancy appears on the cards for Coral Boswellia and Coral Artichoke.
Labels, storage and shelf life
Coral Club declares the product gluten free, Halal certified and free of soy. Beyond the burdock, the capsule contains microcrystalline cellulose and magnesium stearate from a vegetable source.
Coral Club's stated precaution is that anyone pregnant or nursing should consult a healthcare practitioner before taking the product. Shelf life is 2 years. Store in a dry place, protected from direct sunlight, at a temperature not exceeding 77°F, out of reach of children.
