Nature’s Most Nutrient-Rich Plant
What many consider a common lawn weed is actually one of the most nutrient-dense plants in the botanical kingdom. Nature’s Sunshine Dandelion harnesses the power of Taraxacum officinale, a remarkable herb that has been valued across cultures for centuries. From Traditional Chinese Medicine, where it’s known as “pu gong ying,” to Native American healing practices, dandelion root has earned its reputation as a versatile botanical ally for supporting wellness naturally.
The entire dandelion plant is edible and nutritionally valuable, but the root contains the highest concentration of beneficial compounds. Our dandelion root provides 920 mg per serving of this time-honored herb, carefully processed to preserve its natural integrity and potency. Each capsule delivers the full spectrum of dandelion’s naturally occurring nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and K, plus essential minerals like potassium, iron, and calcium.
Traditional Wisdom Meets Modern Quality
Nature’s Sunshine sources dandelion root from China, where our trusted farming partners have been cultivating this valuable herb for over a decade. This long-standing relationship ensures consistent quality while supporting local farming communities and creating supply chain stability. Our supply partner maintains an ISO9001 certified facility and has been audited by both Nature’s Sunshine and NSF, a global leader in manufacturing excellence.
The name “dandelion” comes from the French “dent de lion” or “lion’s tooth,” referring to the plant’s distinctive jagged leaves. While the bright yellow flowers and serrated leaves are familiar sights, it’s the deep brown root system that contains the most concentrated bioactive compounds. Our dandelion root is both Kosher- and Halal-certified, meeting strict quality standards for purity and processing.
Rich in Beneficial Plant Compounds
Dandelion root contains a unique profile of naturally occurring compounds that contribute to its traditional uses. The root is particularly rich in inulin, a prebiotic fiber that supports the growth and maintenance of beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract. This soluble fiber helps promote healthy digestion and supports overall gut wellness.
The bitter compounds known as sesquiterpene lactones, including eudesmanolide and germacranolide, are unique to dandelion and contribute to its traditional use in supporting digestive function. Additionally, dandelion root provides phenolic compounds such as chlorogenic acid and luteolin, which are valued for their antioxidant properties and ability to support the body’s natural defense against oxidative stress.
Supporting Your Body’s Natural Processes
Throughout history, herbalists have recognized dandelion root for its ability to support the body’s natural detoxification processes. Traditional practitioners have long valued this herb for supporting liver and gallbladder function, as well as promoting healthy digestion. The root has been traditionally used to support bile flow, which plays an important role in the digestive process and the body’s natural ability to process dietary fats.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, dandelion is believed to support the kidneys, liver, and gallbladder, particularly when the body needs cooling support. Native American tribes traditionally used dandelion root in various preparations to support overall wellness and comfort. Modern herbalists continue to value dandelion root for its gentle yet effective support of the body’s natural cleansing processes.
Recommended Usage
Take 2 capsules with a meal twice daily. For best results, use consistently as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
