Phyllanthus androgynus, widely known as Katuk, is a traditional Indonesian and Southeast Asian leafy herb best known for its ability to enhance breast milk production. The leaves contain steroids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, carotenoids, vitamins, and minerals, offering lactation support, anti-inflammatory activity, immune benefits, and nutritional value.
Traditionally consumed as food or herbal preparation, katuk supports lactation, weight gain, inflammation reduction, antioxidant protection, digestion, and overall vitality.
Important: Extremely high intake (especially as raw juice) has been linked to rare lung side effects. Standard moderate intake is considered safe.
