Adder's Tongue
Ophioglossum vulgatum
Ophioglossum vulgatum, commonly known as Adder's-tongue fern, is a plant traditionally used in few documented practices. There are no reported traditional uses or specific cultural applications for this species. Scientific evidence suggests a probable association between the consumption of Ophioglossum vulgatum and severe rhabdomyolysis, based on case reports. The study also indicates that the plant's microbial communities exhibit tissue-specific and rhizosphere-dependent variations, correlating with bioactive compound accumulation. In another study, administration of 20 mg/kg crude extract significantly reduced mean blood pressure by 31.53% in spontaneously hypertensive rats within 60 minutes, though the evidence is limited. No major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded for this plant, but further research is needed to confirm these findings and explore its potential medicinal applications comprehensively.

Was die Wissenschaft sagt
- Diese Studie berichtet über eine wahrscheinliche Verbindung zwischen dem Konsum von Ophioglossum vulgatum und schwerer Rhabdomyolysis bei 10 Fällen.
- Die Studie zeigte an, dass die Vielfalt und Abundanz der mikrobiellen Gemeinschaften bei Ophioglossum vulgatum spezifische Tissu- und Rhizosphäre-Abhängigkeiten aufweisen, die mit dem Akkumulieren bioaktiver Stoffe korrelieren.
- Ophioglossum vulgatum reduzierte die reproduktive Ausbringung mehr als das Vegetationswachstum in Reaktion auf den Schnitt, mit der Kürzung hatte es keinen signifikanten direkten Einfluss。
- Die Studie zeigte an, dass die Verabreichung eines Rohextrakts von Ophioglossum vulgatum in einer Dosis von 20 mg/kg eindeutig das mittlere Blutdruckniveau um 31,53% innerhalb von 60 Minuten bei spontan hypertensiven Ratten reduzierte.
