Observational study shows Garcinia kola affects hematological parameters in sprague dawley rats, indicating mixed impacts on blood health.

Garcinia kola increased mean corpuscular volume and mean corpuscular hemoglobin while decreasing white blood cells.
Eighteen female sprague dawley rats received either 0.5mg/kg or 1.0mg/kg of Garcinia kola extract over two weeks.
Treatment groups showed no significant changes in lipid profile, but notable variations in some hematological indices.
These findings suggest Garcinia kola can influence certain blood metrics but not lipid metabolism in sprague dawley rats.

Adisa et al. (2025) studied this question.
