Product Overview

Goldenseal leaf powder is made from the dried leaves of Hydrastis canadensis, a small perennial herb native to eastern North America. The leaves are broad, deeply lobed, and green in colour when fresh, becoming brownish-green after drying and milling.

Goldenseal is traditionally valued in herbal practices and is particularly known for its naturally occurring alkaloids, although these compounds are generally more concentrated in the root and rhizome than in the leaves.

Nutritional Value:

* Dietary fibre: May be present as part of the powdered plant material.
* Vitamins and minerals: May contain trace amounts, but reliable quantitative data specific to goldenseal leaves are limited.
