Whole Formulas Holy Basil Extract, 1 fl oz

Holy basil (Ocimum sanctum) has been grown in India for over 3,000 years. Also known as “tulsi” or “the incomparable one,” it is considered a sacred plant in this region.

This revered plant can still be found growing today in many residences in India.

The Benefits of Herbal Extracts:

Potency

The herbs used in Whole Formulas extracts are picked at the peak of their growth cycle to ensure maximum potency, then processed immediately upon receipt to capture their inherent vitality. Extracts are often the preferred choice of herbalists and naturopaths for this reason.

Bioavailability

Due to common digestion issues, many people have trouble fully breaking down pills and tablets. With extracts, the plant material has already been processed during formulation. All that remains is the full-spectrum of potent active nutrients ready for absorption.

Convenience

Simply place the recommended dose in water or juice and drink. The built-in dropper cap makes it easy to control dosage.

1 fl oz in amber glass bottle with dropper top.
