Holy Basil Extract - Holy Herb of Buddhism
Holy Basil Extract (10:1) 300mg by EssentialSeries is a food supplement in vegetable capsules, based on an extract of the plant Ocimum tenuiflorum, also known as holy basil. It is present in our enhanced formula with chromium picolinate and a high concentration of vitamin B12 in the form of methylcobalamin.
Holy basil is named as such because it belongs to the common basil family (Ocinum), although its uses and properties should not be confused with it, as they are not the same species. The status of 'sacred' is given to it by the Hindus, who use the leaves of the holy basil for their prayers and veneration.
Enjoy authentic holy basil of the highest quality for your diet.

Premium quality extract - High concentration and standardised content
Many plants have a traditional use in cultures such as India or China. This is due to the natural nutritional composition of many of these herbs, which is of interest from a nutritional point of view.
Extracts are concentrated presentations of these plants, condensing the natural compounds they contain into small amounts of treated powder of the same plant. For example:
Our Holy Basil extract has a 10:1 extraction ratio, meaning that 600mg of the extract is equivalent to consuming 6000mg of the plant in its native state. All this in a convenient, easy-to-take capsule form.
In addition, thanks to its 2% standardisation in guaranteed ursolic acid, which is the compound of greatest functional interest for the nutritional effects of holy basil, our food supplement revolutionises the market.
However, this is not always the case, as many plant extracts may not have an adequate content of characteristic bioactives. This happens if, during the extraction process, the plant and its chemical constituents are not properly cared for, so their nutritional supply can be adversely affected.
Certified species - 100% whole plant Ocimum tenuiflorum
Holy basil is a species called Ocimum tenuiflorum, which although it belongs to the 'Ocinum' family, which is the same as the standard culinary basil, is not the same species. Therefore, its nutritional contribution and properties are completely different.
It is therefore important that during the cultivation and harvesting process, a good security of the species is maintained in order to avoid interbreeding with other species of the same genus.
Our holy basil is 100% Ocimum tenuiflorum. This is ensured because we use the best quality control from the very beginning of the cultivation process.
A premium quality food supplement from the moment it starts until it arrives at your home.
High concentration. 300mg per vegetable capsule - Gelatin free - Suitable for vegan diets.
Each vegetable capsule of this food supplement provides 300mg of extract.
This is a high concentration, as just 2 capsules provide 600mg of extract, which is an optimal amount.
Besides, the product is compatible with all types of diets, as it contains no sugars and is suitable for keto diets, as well as paleo... It contains no animal ingredients, so it is also suitable for vegan diets
Development without cosmetic additives
The HSN formula contains no additives for aesthetic reasons, 0% colours.
Our vegetable capsules are transparent, so you can see what's inside.
Moreover, we do not use synthetic additives either, and the additives used are present in the smallest possible quantities. A much cleaner label formula for your food.
A plant with a rich composition of natural active compounds
Holy basil has become a well-known plant (although it has always been so in its native regions), due to its nutritional richness. It has phytocompounds such as oleanolic, rosmarinic, and ursolic acids, the latter being the most valuable of this species, and the compound in which our extract is standardised, as well as other natural compounds such as Carvacrol, Eugenol, Linalool, and Caryophyllene.
The essential oil of this plant is composed of a broad spectrum of natural constituents of a terpenoic nature.
Try our plant extracts. Natural care at its best.
