Metabolic Nutritionist Amanda King introduces a little-known nutraceutical and discusses strategies for safety and efficacy.

Though little-known, Honokiol turns out to have a store of surprises in terms of its utility in cancer support, sufficient for Amanda King to want to invest time in finding out more. As a metabolic practitioner, Amanda is always thinking in terms of controlling the metabolism of cancer cells through multiple pathways, and this is where Honokiol excels, targeting multiple pathways simultaneously. In this interview, we explore where this nutraceutical comes from and how it is used, and take the opportunity to discuss methods of evaluation that can be applied to something new, and the important balance at play between evidence for efficacy and safety.
