Identity and product form
Dandelion root products are botanical preparations from Taraxacum species. Plant part, species and extraction method should be clear because they affect identity.
Sources: National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health
What the reviewed evidence can and cannot show
NCCIH says there is little scientific evidence on dandelion for health conditions. Traditional use does not establish a clinical outcome for a root extract.

Safety and limits
NCCIH notes that dandelion may cause allergic reactions and can interact with medicines. People with gallbladder or kidney concerns should discuss product-specific use with a professional.
