Content: Their research project established that Honokiol reached its maximum cancer-killing effect after 48 hours and that it acted against the cancer cells in several ways: as an inhibitor of angiogenesis [killer of microscopic blood vessels that feed cancer cells], and also as a Targeted Agent that blocked the VEGFR2 receptor on the cancer cell. They also established that Honokiol was far more active in this regard than Magnolol. In late 2003, a research group at the National Yang-Ming University of Medicine in Taiwan announced that Honokiol showed a “protective effect against [brain inflammation]” in lab animal tests. They concluded that Honokiol possessed “anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory” properties on brain tissue. Magnolia Bark (Honokiol) Side effects

Considerations
It would be wise to use only Honokiol derived from well-studied, established botanical sources of Magnolia Extract, known for the safety of ALL of the compounds contained in the tree bark beyond Honokiol, (such as the very well-studied Chinese “Magnolia Officinalis” species, or the Japanese “Magnolia Obovata” species). Although Honokiol can be obtained from many other of the 200 or so species of Magnolia, the chemical content of the bark from each species is not identical. It must be regarded as “possible” that some species other than “Officinalis” and “Obovata” might contain compounds unsuitable for human consumption, (until scientifically proven otherwise).
