Scientific Confirmation of Traditional Wisdom

Phytonutrients within Holy Basil are some of the most prized molecules in the plant pharmacy. To make a drug from Holy Basil, pharmaceutical companies could deliver these molecules in an isolated form, but that would no longer be the infinitely complex Holy Basil treasured by traditional medicine. At New Chapter, therefore, we deliver the wisdom of Holy Basil in its most complete herbal form. We are, of course also respectful of those "prized molecules", but choose to deliver them with the numerous other naturally occurring chemistries to deliver the full intelligence of the herb.

The scientific world is giving heed to these molecules. In the United States, researchers have determined that Holy Basil's "active" molecules promote a healthy inflammation response. These "active" molecules cell protective properties have been studies in vitro with respect to cells of the breast, oral cavity, colon, prostate, skin, and liver. They have also been studies worldwide for their effect on normal cell growth.

The whole is more than the sum of its parts, but the whole must contain the parts. That is why New Chapter's Holy Basil is the only source of this herb that provides both supercritical and hydroethanolic extracts to capture the fullness of this herb in its purest and most concentrated form.
