Capers

Capers/Nutrient Depletion:

  • ElectrolytesElectrolytes: Based on clinical study, capers may have diuretic effects; patients taking the combination product Liv-52?, containing Capparis spinosa, showed a significant reduction in ascites (p=0.032) (3). Theoretically, diuresis may result in depletion of electrolytes.
  • GlucoseGlucose: Based on ethnobotanical data, Capparis spinosa L. may have hypoglycemic effects (1).
