Easy-to-swallow vegetarian capsules Also known as Tulsi, Holy Basil (Ocimum sanctum) has been used for thousands of years by the experts of India's traditional Ayurvedic health system. Holy Basil leaves contain ursolic acid, a beneficial, naturally-occurring phytochemical. Futurebiotics Holy Basil Extract provides 2.5% ursolic acid. Indigenous to the Indian subcontinent, Holy Basil is a member of the mint family and is a bushy shrub with delicate flowers and woody stalks that are often fashioned into cherished beads. Holy Basil is an important symbol in Hinduism. In fact, the plant is regarded as the holiest of all plants and many families keep a plant in front of or near their homes. In addition to being used by Ayurveda practitioners, Holy Basil has also been used for centuries in ancient Roman and Greek systems of medicine. In recent decades, this beneficial plant has begun gaining popularity in the West. While closely related, Holy Basil, with its peppery, clove-like flavor, should not be confused with culinary basil (Ocimum basilicum), its sweet counterpart used in cooking. Holy Basil leaves contain a variety of valuable, naturally-occurring phytochemical constituents, including ursolic acid, a pentacyclic triterpene acid. Futurebiotics Holy Basil Extract is a 100% vegetarian supplement providing 500 mg of extract per capsule, standardized for 2.5% ursolic acid.
