Danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza) root extract in plant-based capsules - 350mg per capsule. Standardized for tanshinone IIA content ≥5% - the primary marker compound. Supports circulation and cardiovascular system. 90 capsules. FULL DESCRIPTION: Danshen - Salvia miltiorrhiza - Chinese sage root with over two thousand years of use in traditional Chinese medicine. One of the most studied plant remedies for cardiovascular support - and one of the few where clinical evidence in humans confirms traditional use. The red coloration of the root - hence the folk name "red root" - is due to tanshinones, unique diterpenoid compounds absent in other sage species. PapaNature extract is standardized for tanshinone IIA content ≥5% - ensuring a reproducible chemical profile and predictable biological activity from batch to batch.

How Danshen Works

Circulation and microcirculation - Danshen tanshinones and salvianolic acids are studied in the context of supporting microcirculation and vascular tone. One of the most studied areas with an extensive clinical evidence base.

Cardiovascular support - the influence on blood pressure and cardiac muscle function is studied. Danshen is among the plants with the most documented cardiovascular profile in Chinese phytotherapy.

Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity - tanshinone IIA is studied as a potent antioxidant influencing the production of pro-inflammatory mediators at the cellular level.

Neuroprotection - a secondary but researched area. The influence on cognitive function and neuronal protection from oxidative stress is studied.

How to Use

Take 1-2 capsules 1-3 times per day with meals. Taking with food improves absorption of fat-soluble tanshinones. Dosage is selected individually - start with the minimum and adjust as needed. Danshen combines well with other products in the lineup - for example with Astragalus for comprehensive immune and vascular support or with Reishi for enhanced antioxidant profile. A specific combined intake regimen should be agreed with a specialist.
