Supplement
Magnolia bark extract comes from magnolia tree bark and is rich in plant compounds called magnolol and honokiol, long used in traditional Asian herbal practice. Research has looked mostly at dental health, where one randomized trial of 120 people found that a sugar-free chewing gum containing it improved dental health measures. With just one trial, the evidence is limited, and the results apply to that gum rather than other forms.
