Raspberry Leaf Powder – Herbal Supplement & Tea Ingredient
Description
Raspberry leaf powder is derived from the dried and ground leaves of the red raspberry plant (Rubus idaeus). Though the plant is best known for its sweet, red berries, the leaves are prized in traditional herbal medicine for their health-promoting properties — especially in women’s reproductive health. Rich in tannins, flavonoids, vitamins (A, C, and E), iron, and the compound fragarine, raspberry leaf is considered a natural uterine tonic and mild astringent.
