Golden Seal [Immune] is native to
North America. The plant has been largely over-harvested and is
periodically in short supply. Its immune-supporting properties
are largely due to its hydrastine, berberine and canadine
alkaloids. Golden seal provides an unfriendly environment for
bacteria. It is said to help soothe the mucous membranes that
line the respiratory, digestive and urinary tracts. Because
demand for the herb is high and supplies are low, golden seal is
one of the most expensive herbs on the market. For this reason,
many herb suppliers are tempted to adulterate supplies of golden
seal with other herbs of similar chemical composition, such as
Oregon grape. However, only golden seal contains the alkaloid
hydrastine. Nature�s Sunshine boasts the technology and expertise
needed to test golden seal for hydrastine thus ensuring a pure,
unadulterated supply of this valued herb. Each capsule contains
500 mg golden seal root. Take 2 capsules with a meal twice daily.
(Note: pregnant women should not use
golden seal since it may influence uterine muscles.)
