pubmed references about reducing neurodegeneration
the pubmed (.) org database notes that Butylidenephthalide is a chemical found at this plant that reduces neurodegenerative effects at glia also

Vitamin B12
The article suggests that Angelica sinensis contains vitamin B12, with two supposed references. The first one lists Angelica as containing "0.25~40 mg/100g of vitamin B12" (whatever that means - even 0.25 mg of B12 would be a massive amount, considering that meats only contain a few micrograms per 100 g). That claim is not referenced, unlike most other stuff on that page.

The page seems quite suspicious anyway, with typos like "akaline" and "animo acid". I cannot access the second reference and it's not found on Google's cache or the Wayback machine. PubMed doesn't find anything with the query "angelica b12". I think the claim should be removed. I've never heard of a "normal" plant (e.g. not a mushroom, algae or fermented plant matter) that contains B12. And if Angelica sinensis really contained 100x the amount of vitamin B12 found in meat, it should be common knowledge.

 * I agree entirely. Besides, the first reference does not seem like a reliable source. As for the w. article, in the same sentence that claims Angelica sinensis contains B12, it is also claimed that yeasts and spirulina containes B12, something which is not really true. There is no B12 in yeasts (unless fortified), and spirulina contains inactive B12 analogues which is of no use to humans and can even block absorption of real B12. I'm going to remove the whole sentence. TheLastNinja (talk) 08:14, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

File:Dong quai.jpg Nominated for speedy Deletion
Dear Viewmont Viking,

I have been working on pharmacology of Dong quai for past few weeks. I added some studied and trials which was done on rate models to show the recent indication of Dong quai. Most of my sources were PubMed article. I would greatly appreciate if you describe the reason you deleted all my edits?

Thank you, OoroofOoroof (talk) 20:32, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

Ooroof Please read Medrs. While some of the articles may have met this standard, there were many from very dubious sources. Try adding them one at a time, which makes it easier for other editors to look at the edits. Just because something is in PubMed, does not mean it meets the standard required to add medical claims.

Thank you for your fast respond. I do agree not everything in Pubmed do met the standard, but there are so many people using Dong quai due some indication that they just heard, so I tried to add some studied which has done on the rat models and provided some info that still need more human evidence based studies to prove the same indication for human. I am feeling they are so many studies have been done which is missing in this article for readers. Thanks OoroofOoroof (talk) 21:30, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

Dear Viewmont Viking, I am going to delete the pharmacology part since it is missing citation. It has medical claim of using for fatigue and high blood pressure but not providing any reference. I would try to edit it and provide some studies which has been done to support my edit. Thanks ooroof205.154.255.207 (talk) 03:07, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Dong Quai vs Dang Gui
I suggest that Angelica sinensis is now more commonly referred to as Dang Gui, based on the pinyin, over the Wade-Giles transliteration Dong Quai. The Wade-Giles system has become antiquated and the pinyin system is now more prevalent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Acuhealth (talk • contribs) 20:20, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
