Extracto de raíz de hortensia (Hydrangea arborescens) - 60 ml (2 oz)

What is Hydrangea Root Extract?

Hydrangea root extract (Hydrangea arborescens) is a liquid herbal supplement made from the roots of this plant native to North America. For generations, hydrangea has been used in traditional herbal medicine, especially in contexts where it was sought to support urinary tract and kidney health.

This Christopher's Original Formulas product comes in a concentrated liquid format, making it easy to dose and absorb. Each 60 ml (2 oz) bottle provides a generous amount of extract that can last several weeks following usual directions.

Traditional Benefits of Hydrangea

It is important to clarify that, according to European regulations (EFSA), there are no specific authorized health claims for hydrangea. However, in the context of traditional herbal medicine, it is attributed a complementary role in maintaining urinary health. It should always be understood as a supplement, not a treatment.

Plants like hydrangea contain natural compounds that, integrated into a healthy lifestyle, can offer general support to the body. However, food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet or professional medical care.

Ingredients and Presentation

The only declared active ingredient is Hydrangea arborescens root extract. The product is typically made with a mixture of purified water and grain alcohol as a solvent to extract the active principles from the root. The extract ratio (e.g., 1:2) and alcohol content may vary depending on the batch; consult the product label for specific details.

It is a full-spectrum liquid extract, meaning it retains the plant's natural profile. It may have a slightly variable color and a characteristic bitter taste, typical of herbal extracts without artificial additives.

How to use this extract?

The recommended dose is usually 30 to 60 drops (approximately 1-2 ml) diluted in a glass of water or juice, taken one to three times a day. However, it is essential to follow the manufacturer's instructions on the label or consult a qualified healthcare professional, especially if pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medications.

Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure a homogeneous mixture of the extract. Keep the product in a cool, dry place, away from direct light and out of reach of children.
