Yes; I have a couple of bottles of tablets made from the extract. It boosts the immune system if taken occasionally. I start taking it at the first sign of a cold or anything of the sort, and I notice it reduces the duration of the illness quite considerably.
I haven't seen a photo of one before, but I've seen it for sale as a herbal remedy. Claims for its effects are fuzzy but tend to involve warding off colds. My mother swears by it, but she's well into the herbal bullshit. It's definitely got some effects on the human body, but whether they're ones you want is a different matter (it causes some load on the liver, for example).
