about Nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA)

Nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) is a potent antioxidant compound found in the creosote bush. It is believed that NDGA reduces cell damage by free radicals.
The plant has been used to treat a variety of illnesses including infertility, rheumatism, arthritis, diabetes, gallbladder and kidney stones, pain and inflammation, but its use is controversial. Nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) was widely used during the 1950s as a food preservative and to preserve natural fibers but was later banned after reports of toxicity during the early 1960s. Recently, it has been used as a nutritional supplement, however renal and hepatotoxicity are reported for chronic use of creosote bush and NDGA.
