Sage extract is a concentrated form of Salvia officinalis standardized to rosmarinic acid rather than thujone or camphor. This gives a consistent level of active polyphenols.
The extract supports memory, focus, and mood. Studies have also investigated it for hot flashes and night sweats during menopause. Findings here are not yet conclusive.
Take it in capsule or tablet form with a meal to reduce stomach upset. Avoid medicinal doses during pregnancy, as they may stimulate uterine contractions.
