This study will allow us to determine the effect of burdock consumption on basic laboratory tests such as the complete metabolic panel (CMP) as well as the effect on blood pressure over time. Participants will self-monitor their blood pressures and undergo lab testing. They will also complete symptom inventories to determine subjective factors that change with burdock consumption, such as menstrual water retention. Subjects will undergo electronic body composition testing before and after the intervention.
