Alpha01 Organic Marshmallow Root 1400mg - 90 Capsules

Long before marshmallows became the soft, sugary sweets we toast over a campfire, they were made from the root of a tall, pink-flowered plant that grows in salt marshes across Europe. Marshmallow (Althaea officinalis) has a history stretching back to ancient Egypt, where its root sap was reportedly mixed with nuts and honey to create a delicacy for royalty. Alpha01 Organic Marshmallow Root 1400mg Capsules bring this fascinating herb into a simple, modern format.

A Plant With a Story

The marshmallow plant thrives in damp meadows, riverbanks and coastal marshes, which is how it got its name. Its root contains a naturally occurring mucilage, a thick, gel-like substance that gives the plant its distinctive soft texture when mixed with water. Over the centuries, marshmallow root has found its way into herbal teas, tinctures, cosmetics and confectionery, and it remains a much-loved herb in traditional European herbalism.

1,400mg of Organic Root per Serving

Each two-capsule serving provides 1,400mg of organic marshmallow root powder. The root is dried and finely milled, so you receive the whole root rather than an extract. The capsules are taken with water, making them an easy alternative to brewing marshmallow root tea, which needs to steep for a long time in cool water to release its mucilage.

Clean and Plant-Based

The formula is pleasingly short: organic marshmallow root powder, a hypromellose capsule shell and a small amount of organic hemp flour to help the powder flow evenly. The plant-derived shell makes the product suitable for vegans and vegetarians, and there are no artificial colours, flavours or sweeteners.

Quality and Testing

Alpha01 is a UK supplement brand whose products are made in the EU to GMP food safety standards using non-GMO ingredients. Each batch is independently tested for heavy metals and microbial contaminants, and the reports are made available. The capsules are packed in a resealable, recyclable pouch that keeps them fresh and uses less plastic than a rigid tub.

Six Weeks per Pouch

Each pouch contains 90 vegan capsules, which provides 45 servings at two capsules per day, so one pouch lasts around six weeks. Take two capsules daily with a full glass of water. Because marshmallow root naturally forms a gel when it meets water, it is a good idea to drink plenty of fluid with each serving.

Timing With Other Supplements

As marshmallow root is rich in mucilage, it is best taken at a different time from other supplements or medicines. Leaving a gap of at least two hours is a simple habit that keeps your routine organised. Many people take marshmallow root in the evening and their other supplements in the morning.

Storage

Reseal the pouch after each use and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Food supplements should be used as part of a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
