Purslane Extract (Portulaca oleracea)

Healthy Blood Sugar™

Although sometimes considered a pesky weed, purslane has a long history of use as a food and traditional medicine. It was (and still is) consumed raw as a salad herb, added to cooked dishes, and used as an extract to support blood sugar metabolism.* Purslane is unique in that contains omega-3 fatty acids – more than any other land-based vegetable. A cup of purslane leaves can contain 300-400 mg of alpha-linolenic acid.
