General Information
Question: What is hepercin, does it work and is it safe?

Answer: This is a perennial flower commonly found in English gardens. It has received a lot of publicity after 20-20 publicized it recently. However, there have been few controlled medical studies. Anecdotal information from patients who have tried it has demonstrated few side effects; however, there have been several over the counter herbal remedies that have been shown to have toxicity after sufficient people took the drug. Dosage seems to be 300 mg or 600 mg depending on your size and problem. That is about all I know about the drug.
