If anyone is thinking about taking butterbur, it is very important to get the purified form which is supposed to be "safe." Petadolex is supposed to be one that is purified.Hard on liver. A whole list comes up when searching "liver + butterbur".

I am taking just about everything there is to take right now for mast cell disorder (MCAS) and my doc has never mentioned butterbur. What is it?
