Benefit of Purslane.

Purslane Herb Extract Portulaca oleracea INCI Name Portulaca Oleracea Extract CAS 290-201-1 EINECS ELINCS No 90083-07-1 photo picture image Purslane (Portulaca Oleracea) has been used for thousands of years throughout the world for everything from salads to medicines. Our Purslane is grown in Saskatchewan, but it can be found growing wild or cultivated in gardens, in almost any sunny spot. This plant is hardy like a weed. Among some 13,000 known plants, this underutilized leafy green vegetable offers more nourishment than our major crops. Our Purslane is selectively harvested and washed by hand. No herbicides, pesticides, preservatives or fillers are used in Purslane Powder. The capsules are made from 100 % vegetable products.

 Nature intended us to be healthy by eating whole foods (plants). They contain protective factors called nutraceuticals; natural foods with healing abilities. Nutrition from plants is without side effects (like some refined supplements), and with unseen benefits (micronutrients, enzymes,fiber), as the effects of two or more micronutrients is greater than their sum individually.

 In order to see health benefits from fresh Purslane, one would need to regularly consume very large quantities. This is impossible, as it is available for only a few weeks per year. Also, it contains oxalic acid, which is possibly toxic when consumed in large quantities. Our Purslane has been refined by an extensively researched and developed method that removes the oxalic acid, while retaining 92% of the raw plant's properties.

 Compared to other plants, the fleshy, succulent leaves of Purslane have the best balance and highest concentration of essential fatty acids (EFA). EFA's are fundamental in preventing all inflammatory conditions (e.g., heart disease, arthritis). Supplementation with EFA's is crucial because the body cannot synthesize them: they must be ingested.
