Motherwort

Motherwort is a traditional botanical from the aerial parts of Leonurus cardiaca (and Leonurus japonicus), supplied by Nustras as a cut-and-sifted botanical and as a powder or extract. Containing alkaloids such as leonurine and other constituents, it has a long history of use in European and Traditional Chinese Medicine practice for women's-health, calming and cardiovascular support.

Motherwort is formulated into women's-health, calm and cardiovascular herbal products, traditional tinctures and teas, and functional supplement blends, in capsules, tablets, powders and liquids.

The material is prepared from the Leonurus aerial parts as a green to greenish-brown botanical, supplied cut-and-sifted, powdered or as a standardised extract. Identity is confirmed by organoleptic examination and TLC or HPLC, and heavy-metal, pesticide and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies motherwort in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags, cartons or fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Motherwort is used as a traditional herbal ingredient; buyers confirm the accepted botanical name, part and claim for their market.
