Immune, Mucosal & Digestive Support
 
AVE Generational Remedies® Goldenseal Root (Hydrastis canadensis) Alcohol Base Goldenseal Root is an alcohol-based herbal dietary supplement traditionally used to support normal immune function, mucosal tissue integrity, and digestive balance. Valued in Indigenous North American and Western herbal traditions, Goldenseal has been used to help maintain balance in the respiratory, digestive, and genitourinary systems as part of a structured wellness routine. This extract is formulated for short-term, intentional use and is best incorporated into practitioner-informed or seasonal wellness protocols.
 
Product Overview
Goldenseal Root contains a concentrated profile of isoquinoline alkaloids, most notably berberine, hydrastine, and canadine, which have been traditionally associated with supporting mucosal tissues and normal microbial balance. Historically, Goldenseal was used to support the body during periods of increased environmental or seasonal stress, particularly where mucosal membranes are involved.
Alcohol extraction is essential for Goldenseal due to the alkaloid-rich nature of the root. This method ensures full-spectrum preservation, stability, and consistent potency, making it appropriate for targeted, time-limited wellness support.
