Bio Health Dandelion Leaf 300mg - 60 Capsules

Philosophy of the traditional herbalists - "the whole herb for the whole man".

Dandelion is known in France as ‘piss-en-lit’ and anyone who has eaten the leaves or handled the fresh herb will know the truth that lies behind it’s continental title. The leaves contain a high potassium content and other naturally occurring nutrients. Dandelion grows throughout most of the world and is cultivated in many countries, notably Germany and France. It grows in sunny sites in pastures, meadows and waysides. The leaves are picked early in the year as a vegetable, later as a medicine. The roots of two year old plants are unearthed in the autumn.

The primary constituents responsible for dandelions benefits are the bitter principles. Dandelion is also a rich source of vitamins and minerals. The leaves have a high content of vitamin A as well as moderate amounts of vitamin D, vitamin C, various B vitamins, iron, silicon, magnesium, zinc and manganese.

The herbal ingredients are wherever possible sourced from organic, wild crafted (non-threatened species) or cultivated plants. All the herbal raw materials conform to accepted scientific standards, British Pharmacopoeia, European Pharmacopoeia and British Herbal Pharmacopoeia.
