Sage has been used for thousands of years by herbalists to treat a wide range of conditions. It is part of the phytoestrogen family (meaning it is a plant based form of oestrogen) and is therefore particularly popular with women looking to manage unpleasant side effects of the menopause. In fact it has been traditionally used to do as such, the oestrogen-like properties within sage are understood to bind to certain receptors in the brain to help improve memory and provide relief from hot flushes and excessive sweating.
Sage is also commonly known as an antioxidant, it contains over 160 polyphenols, plant based compounds that act as antioxidants in the body.
Whilst being a popular feature in European diets, the culinary version of this wonderful herb cannot compete with the potency of a standardised extract. Just Vitamins' Sage capsules contain the equivalent of 3000mg of Sage leaves in a concentrated vegetarian capsule. We also guarantee 12.5mg Rosmarinic Acid, the active ingredient within Sage.
Many phytoestrogen based supplements contain Soya. Sage is an excellent alternative for those looking to avoid soya due to food intolerance.
Sage contains an undesirable compound called Thujone which can be toxic to the brain, kidneys and liver. You can be rest assured that every batch of raw material used in our Sage supplement is tested and certified prior to manufacture to ensure it is guaranteed Thujone-free.
