Boldo
50 Veggie Capsules
Boldo is an evergreen shrub or small tree native to Chile and naturalized in the Mediterranean region of Europe. Its leaves are commonly used for medicinal purposes.
Boldo has a long history of traditional use among the indigenous people of Chile as a liver tonic and to help support gallbladder health, including cases of gallstones.
Boldo contains several types of primary constituents, including volatile oils (ascaridole, eucalyptol), flavonoids, and alkaloids. Boldine is the primary alkaloid in boldo, making up about one-fourth of the total alkaloid content. Scientists believe that boldine is responsible for the plant’s choleretic (bile-stimulating) and diuretic actions. In conjunction with other herbs, such as rhubarb and gentian, boldo has also been reported to improve appetite.
This herb should not be taken for long periods of time (no more than 2 months continuously).
