About: Cryptolepis sanguinolenta is a beautiful twining vine-like shrub that grows in West Africa. This remarkable plant was first brought to our attention twenty years ago by our friend and herb colleague Stephen Harrod Buhner who was researching both local and global herbs that could address Lyme and other tick-borne infections impact on people and animals.
The alkaloid cryptolepine found in this golden root appears to be the active constituent that provides support for those dealing with these persistent pathogens. The extract of Cryptolepis supports the immune system while promoting balance and resilience, assists in the body response to inflammation while addressing the discomfort and challenges of certain tic-related conditions.
We receive Cryptolepis root that grows and is wild-crafted in Ghana. Its fragrance is clear and earthy, the color is a bright yellow-gold and the taste bitter but not unpleasant. Over twenty years of experience has shown us the efficacy and potency of this extraordinary herb. We wish you the best on your path to well-being.
