Talk:Galega officinalis

Goat's "rue"

Its name derives from gale (milk) and ega (to bring on), as Galega has been used as a galactogogue in small domestic animals (hence the name "Goat's rue"). Perhaps I am dense, but it is not at all clear to me how the plant's use to inspire milk in domestic animals explains the name Goat's "rue". That sounds like it would be more appropriate of a plant used to poison small domestic animals. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.181.72.114 (talk) 00:15, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

French lilac

Might need a hatnote mentioning that French lilac also refers more often to cultivars of Syringa vulgaris--ColonelHenry (talk) 18:35, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Used in Legendairy Supplement

Please note that I did not seek reliable data regarding the efficacy. This would be helpful, but I didnt do it, so please be apprehensive about the claims made by Legendairy. If something is added to the article, I super recommend explicitly conveying the wisdom of approaching supplements with skepticism.

It is used by the brand "Legendairy Milk" in their supplement "Liquid Gold." This is a supplement intended for human consumption. Instructions: "Suggested Use: 2 capsules 3 times daily. Take with food and drink to thirst." (That is the exact wording used on the bottle.)

For reference (in case the supplement goes out of business, which they often do, or can't be found), the bottle of "Liquid Gold" claims of goat's rue: "Its scientific name is derived from the Greek words "gala" = milk and "agein" = to drive."

The "nutritional facts" portion of the label claims there are "1,040 mg per serving" of the following ingredients (it isn't clear if the supplement contains 1,040 mg of each, or if the ingredients culminate to 1,040 mg of the "proprietary blend"):

Organic goat’s rue (herb)

Organic milk thistle (seed)

Organic shatavari (root)

Organic fennel (seed)

Organic alfalfa (leaf)

Organic anise (seed)

An additional ingredient is listed below this section, and it just says "vegetable capsule (Pullulan)."

THERE IS A WARNING that it may cause hypoglycemia/low blood sugar, and that it isn't intended for use during pregnancy, and that allergic reaction may occur.

Goat's Rue

I'm pretty sure this name is not derived from Latin as this article states, but is the common name used in England and means goat 'poison or regret'. Rue is referred to many plants that are toxic (or avoided by) - Sort of like 'bane'. No one would think this plant was Ruta gravolens! Neither the leaves, flowers, fruits, or anything look like this plant. Loki-dog (talk) 17:19, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
