Burdock Root
Also known as: Arctium lappa
A natural cleanser that supports gentle renewal and skin clarity. Works alongside sea moss and bladderwrack for comprehensive wellness.
What it is
Burdock root is a botanical traditionally used in herbal wellness practices, often included alongside other cleansing or skin-supportive herbs.
Why we use it
We include it in Sea Moss Gummies as part of the traditional trio with sea moss and bladderwrack, valued for gentle, whole-plant support.
What the research generally suggests
Burdock root has a long history of traditional and folk use; modern clinical research is limited, so its inclusion reflects traditional herbal practice more than robust clinical proof.
Typical amounts
Sea moss blends commonly include around 200-250mg of burdock root extract per serving.
In Flexies products: 240mg per serving.
