Viridian Sage Leaf Extract 600mg

Viridian Sage Leaf Extract 600mg is a high-potency standardised botanical supplement providing 600mg of sage leaf (Salvia officinalis) extract per capsule, delivering a meaningful therapeutic dose for those seeking targeted support for menopausal symptoms, cognitive function, or antimicrobial protection. Sage is one of Europe's most revered medicinal herbs with a history of therapeutic use spanning millennia, and Viridian's standardised extract ensures consistent potency of the active phytochemical compounds in every capsule.

Sage leaf is perhaps most prominently studied and used today in the context of menopausal symptom management, particularly for the reduction of hot flushes and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). Multiple clinical trials have demonstrated that sage leaf extract can significantly reduce the frequency and severity of hot flushes in menopausal women. The proposed mechanisms involve the oestrogenic activity of certain sage constituents, effects on thermoregulatory pathways in the hypothalamus, and the influence of sage's antiperspirant properties on secretory gland activity.

Sage contains rosmarinic acid, carnosic acid, carnosol, and various flavonoids that collectively provide powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory protection. Of particular interest is its effect on acetylcholinesterase — research has shown that sage compounds can inhibit this enzyme, which breaks down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, thereby maintaining higher levels of acetylcholine in the brain and supporting memory and cognitive function. This mechanism is the same target as certain pharmaceutical drugs used for cognitive support.

This supplement contains 100% active ingredients, no artificial additives, and is suitable for vegans. Produced in the UK to Viridian's high ethical standards.
