Calculateur gratuit de posologie — doses adultes et enfants selon le poids.
Smilax regelii (sarsaparilla) contains steroidal saponins, including sarsaponin and smilagenin, which are believed to be responsible for its therapeutic effects. These compounds may bind to bacterial toxins in the bloodstream, potentially supporting the herb's traditional blood purifying reputation. The saponins also demonstrate anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting inflammatory mediators. Additionally, sitosterol and flavonoids contribute antioxidant activity. Evidence level: C, based primarily on in vitro and animal studies with limited human clinical data.
Sarsaparilla may interact with medications processed by the liver due to potential effects on liver enzymes. The herb contains steroidal saponins that could theoretically enhance or interfere with hormone-related medications. Due to its diuretic properties, sarsaparilla may increase the effects of diuretic drugs and affect lithium levels. Patients taking blood thinners should exercise caution, as saponins may affect blood clotting. Always consult a healthcare provider before combining sarsaparilla with prescription medications. Evidence level: C, based on theoretical interactions and limited clinical data.
The traditional adult dosage for sarsaparilla (Smilax regelii) root tea is 1-4 grams of dried root per cup of water, taken up to three times daily. To prepare, steep the root in boiling water for 10-15 minutes, then strain. Liquid extracts and tinctures are also commercially available, typically dosed according to manufacturer instructions. Standardized preparations may offer more consistent dosing. Evidence level: Traditional use, with no established clinical dosage recommendations from controlled trials.

Women who are pregnant, trying to conceive, or nursing should consult a qualified healthcare provider before using any herbal preparations. Evidence level: C, based on traditional contraindications and theoretical risks.
