You may know sage as a culinary herb for pasta or saltimbocca. But sage has a much longer history as a traditional herb. Swanson processes the leaf into a 10:1 extract, with 160mg per capsule. A serving of two capsules is equivalent to 3.2 grams of dried sage leaf. It is intended for adults who want to take the plant in concentrated form.
Sage is the Dutch name for Salvia officinalis, a grey-green shrub from the Mediterranean region. The leaf is used for this extract. Sage helps reduce excessive sweating*.
Sage contributes to comfort during menopause*. In addition, sage has a soothing effect on the mouth and throat*, which is why the leaf often appears in throat products and gargle drinks. Many people wonder if culinary sage does the same. In principle, it is the same plant, but this is a 10:1 extract in which the plant substances are concentrated.
The designation 10:1 says something about the concentration. For one part extract, the manufacturer uses ten parts plant. At 160mg per capsule, a serving of two capsules (320mg) therefore amounts to the equivalent of 3.2 grams of sage leaf. Sage naturally contains rosmarinic acid, flavonoids, and volatile oil. Thujone is also part of that oil, a substance for which long-term and continuous use is not recommended.
In addition to the sage extract, there are excipients: microcrystalline cellulose, maltodextrin, magnesium stearate, and silica. The capsule itself is made of gelatin. Each capsule provides 160mg of sage in 10:1 form. In short: this is the classic culinary and traditional herb in a measured, concentrated capsule, for adults who prefer to dose sage rather than pick it.

It is the same plant, Salvia officinalis, but in a different form. Kitchen sage is the loose, dried leaf. This is a 10:1 extract in which the plant compounds are concentrated, with each serving equivalent to 3.2 grams of sage.
No. The sage is plant-based, but the capsule is made of gelatin, an animal protein. This means the product is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians.
That is the ratio between the plant material and the extract. For 1 gram of extract, the manufacturer uses 10 grams of sage. At 320mg per serving, this equates to the equivalent of 3.2 grams of sage leaf.
The advice is 2 capsules, twice a day, with water. If you have a sensitive stomach, you can take them with food. Do not use the product for prolonged and uninterrupted periods.
Sage naturally contains thujone, a substance found in the volatile oil. Therefore, it is wise not to use sage extract continuously over a long period and to adhere to the indicated dosage.
Sage contains, among other things, rosmarinic acid, flavonoids and volatile oil. In a 10:1 extract, these plant compounds are present in a more concentrated form than in loose, dried leaf.
