Holy Basil (Holy Basil Leaf / Ocimum sanctum) 400mg | 120 capsules | Swanson

Swanson Holy Basil

Holy Basil, also known as tulsi or Ocimum sanctum, is a herb from the Indian Ayurvedic tradition, where it has been used for centuries. In this product, Swanson processes the entire leaf of the plant into a powder in a capsule. It falls under the Full Spectrum line, where the complete leaf is used instead of an isolated component.

Full Spectrum: the whole leaf

Each capsule contains 400 mg of dried holy basil leaf. No standardized extract is used; you get the leaf in its natural form, with the components that naturally occur together. The leaf is carefully dried before processing.

Vegetarian and pure

The capsule is vegetarian (hypromellose), making the product suitable for a vegan diet. It contains no artificial colorings, preservatives, or fillers. Swanson checks the raw material for purity and origin.

Practical to use

One jar contains 120 capsules. With a serving of two capsules per day, totaling 800 mg of holy basil, one jar will last you two months. The capsule form is convenient for those who wish to take this Ayurvedic herb as a regular dietary supplement.

Tulsi in Ayurveda

In India, holy basil, or tulsi, has been cultivated around homes and temples for thousands of years. It is a different crop than culinary basil and has its own name and place in the Ayurvedic tradition. Swanson uses the entire leaf, which is dried and ground after harvesting. This preserves the natural composition of the leaf, instead of isolating a single component. Each batch is checked for purity and origin. The result is a purely plant-based product that keeps the leaf as close as possible to its natural form.
