Salvia 1020 mg - 120 Comprimidos - Planetary Herbals

What is Sage and what is it traditionally used for?

Sage (Salvia officinalis) is an aromatic Mediterranean plant with a long history of use in traditional European herbal medicine. Its name derives from the Latin salvare, meaning 'to save' or 'to heal', reflecting its esteemed reputation. This Planetary Herbals supplement offers 1020 mg of sage per tablet, in a full-spectrum presentation to preserve the natural synergy of its components.

Traditionally, sage has been used to support digestive health, female hormonal balance during menopause, and cognitive function. However, it is important to note that these are traditional applications and not health claims endorsed by the EFSA. As a food supplement, sage can be part of a wellness routine.

Key ingredients and nutritional profile

Each tablet contains 1020 mg of full-spectrum powdered sage (Salvia officinalis) leaf extract. This means that the entire plant is used, not just an isolated compound, which can offer a broader range of natural phytochemicals, such as essential oils (camphor, 1,8-cineole, α-thujone), flavonoids and phenolic acids. No other active ingredients are added, maintaining herbal purity.

It is a vegan, gluten-free, and non-GMO product, although these certifications are not explicitly mentioned on the packaging; for greater certainty, consult the manufacturer's information. The formula has been approved by Michael Tierra, L.Ac., O.M.D., a renowned herbalist and acupuncturist.

It is advisable to take for a continuous period to notice the traditional benefits, although it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any supplementation, especially if pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication.

Frequently asked questions about sage tablets

Does sage have side effects?

At normal doses, sage is generally well tolerated. However, due to the presence of thujone (a compound present in the essential oil), very high or prolonged doses can cause adverse effects. It is recommended to follow the indicated dosage.

Can I take sage if I am pregnant?

The use of sage supplements during pregnancy or breastfeeding is not recommended without medical supervision, as thujone can stimulate the uterus.

Potentially, sage can interact with anticonvulsant drugs, anticoagulants, and diabetes medications. Consult your doctor if you are taking any treatment.
