Contraindications, Interactions, and Side Effects (Madder) — The court is still out on whether
or not alizarin, lucidin, and purpurin from Rubia tinctorum exert a disintegrating effect on the
surface of bladder and kidney stones containing calcium. Since extracts of the root are mutagenic
and contain genotoxic and tumorigenic compounds, it is not to be recommended (De Smet, 1993).
