What is Salvia miltiorrhiza Powder Extract?

Salvia Militorrhizashen is a traditional asian herbal medication for circulatory ailments.

Danshen works through a few primary ingredients, which all work synergistically on various parameters of heart and circulatory health.

The traditional Chinese remedy Salvia miltiorrhiza, also known as "danshen", is one such plant that is attracting attention in the West as an overall excellent support for cardiovascular health. It contains several unique phytochemicals with cardioprotective and antioxidant properties, and has been widely used in Chinese medicine for numerous cardiovascular disorders.

In fact, according to one report, Salvia has "revolutionized the management of angina, heart attack and stroke in Chinese society." The majority of research on Salvia has been on its heart protective properties, especially in cases of angina (a condition where inadequate oxygen is available to the heart muscle itself), heart attack and stroke.

Danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza) is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), often in combination with other herbs. It grows primarily in the hilly areas in the west and southwest provinces of China, with some also produced in the southeast part of China. Remedies containing danshen are used traditionally to treat a diversity of ailments, particularly cardiovascular disorders, such as atherosclerosis or blood clotting abnormalities. The ability of danshen to improve blood circulation has not been demonstrated in high-quality human trials. Constituents of the danshen root, particularly protocatechualdehyde and 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-lactic acid, are believed to be responsible for its vascular effects.
