Cross-referencing clinical data
A pairing appears on this page only when a trial gave both ingredients together and measured the result. Glossy Privet has none that clears that bar.
Stitching two separate single-ingredient studies into a pairing is the one thing this engine will not do. When a study of the combination itself holds up at source, it lands here with its citation.
No invented synergy. Where actives were studied on their own rather than together, the record shows each on its own evidence, never a combined effect no trial measured.
Research strength. Research strength says how much work stands behind the combination. It is never a product score.
Independent record. Every finding is cited to a named trial, dated, and never written by the brand.
20 pairings are live across the library today. Checked 20 July 2026.
No study gave these as a pair, so they are not in the card above. But the reason they belong together is settled biochemistry, not a guess, so it is worth knowing.
Both are used as long-course tonic herbs and appear together in the same multi-herb decoctions. The pairing is a formulation convention rather than a demonstrated interaction. No human study isolates what the combination adds over either herb alone.
Dang gui and glossy privet fruit sit in the same class of tonic formulas and are frequently decocted together. What is documented is the practice, not a mechanism. Read this as a formulation note rather than a pharmacological claim.
Oleanolic and ursolic acid from the fruit and the silymarin flavonolignans are both conjugated by glucuronidation and sulfation before excretion. Loading two phenolic-heavy extracts at once puts more demand on the same conjugation capacity. This is a pharmacokinetic observation about competition for a shared route, not evidence that the pair works better together.
Oleanolic and ursolic acid are lipophilic pentacyclic triterpenes with very low aqueous solubility, which is the main reason their oral absorption is poor and erratic. Taking a triterpene-enriched fraction with a lipid vehicle raises the fraction that stays dissolved through the gut. The glycoside portion of the fruit, being water soluble, does not need this and is unaffected.
The secoiridoid and phenylethanoid glycosides in the fruit act as chain-breaking phenolic antioxidants in vitro, and ascorbate can regenerate phenoxyl radicals back to the parent phenol. The chemistry is settled in model systems. Whether it happens at the concentrations reached in the body after an oral dose is not established.
