Holy Basil Leaf
Gaia Herbs uses a dual-extraction method (supercritical CO2 and water/alcohol) to ensure a full spectrum of phytochemicals. Their 'Meet Your Herbs' platform allows users to see the exact test results for the batch in their hand.
Ingredients & Purity
Dual extraction captures both the volatile oils and the heavy resins of the plant. Uses organic Holy Basil leaf.
Scientific Evidence
Holy Basil has moderate clinical evidence for metabolic stress and mood support. Gaia's specific extraction method preserves the terpene profile better than high-heat methods.
Brand Transparency
Their 'Meet Your Herbs' ID is the industry benchmark for transparency, providing COAs, heavy metal testing, and harvest location for every single bottle.
Value Assessment
Priced competitively for a high-end extract. The quality of the delivery system (liquid phyto-caps) adds value by protecting the volatile oils from oxidation.
Why Not Alternatives?
Most Holy Basil (Tulsi) supplements are simple dried leaf powders which lack the concentration of eugenol and caryophyllene found in Gaia's extract. Gaia's liquid phyto-caps also offer better absorption than standard dry capsules.
