Chinese Skullcap 400mg (90 capsules)

What is Swanson Full Spectrum Chinese Skullcap?

An unusual and perhaps misleading name is more of a problem to the Chinese Skullcap than you might first imagine. In spite of the fact that it bears little to no resemblance to its more sacrosanct namesake, Scutellaria baicalensis or the Baikal skullcap still bears the moniker ‘skullcap’ which it shares with over 300 different variations.

The reason that this information is valuable is that unlike some other plants or herbs, this one is quite unique from its brothers and cousins. So much so, in fact that a quick piece of online research will see you order explicitly, over and again, not to confuse Scutellaria baicalensis with Scutellaria lateriflora - the American Skullcap, whose healing profile is quite different.

• Scutellaria baicalensis not to be confused with Scutellaria lateriflora
• Hepatoprotective
• Used by Chinese for over 1,000 years

Our Skullcap, the Chinese Skullcap, comes, not surprisingly from the steep, mountainous slopes of China and Eastern Russia. It is from there that the forefathers of Ancient Chinese medicine have plucked it for well over 1,000 years. In fact, when an ancient Chinese Tomb was discovered in 1973, tablets were unearthed inside which purported the many healing powers of Huang Qin.

Swanson Full Spectrum Chinese Skullcap offers you those same ancient medicinal values in a very modern delivery system. Just a couple of capsules added to your daily diet could offer you not only better liver health but a more complete antioxidant response too.
