St. Francis Goldenseal Tincture, Antimicrobial Support for Digestion and Mucous Membranes, 50-250ml

St. Francis Goldenseal Details

St. Francis Goldenseal is a single-herb liquid extract of certified organic goldenseal root and rhizome (Hydrastis canadensis), cultivated on an Ontario farm. This intensely bitter root is traditionally used as a bitter to aid digestion, and St. Francis labels it to help alleviate infectious and inflammatory conditions of the digestive tract such as gastritis, and to help relieve digestive disturbances such as dyspepsia. Each mL provides 200 mg QCE (1:5), and the adult dose is 1–1.6 mL (30–48 drops) three times daily. Extracted in distilled water and organic alcohol, it comes in 50 ml, 100 ml and 250 ml bottles. Made in Canada by St. Francis Herb Farm.

Quick Facts

Who Goldenseal Is For

• Adults who want a traditional bitter to aid digestion
• People dealing with digestive disturbances such as dyspepsia (indigestion)
• Those looking for herbal support for inflammatory conditions of the digestive tract such as gastritis
• Anyone who prefers cultivated, certified organic goldenseal over wild-harvested root
• Herbal medicine users who want a single-herb goldenseal extract with a stated strength

Who this product is NOT for:

• Anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding
• People with blood pressure problems or a kidney disorder, unless a health care practitioner approves
• Anyone taking alcohol, medications or natural health products with sedative properties — combining them with goldenseal is not recommended
• Children — the label dose is for adults

Vitamart's Take

Goldenseal is one of the most bitter herbs you can buy, and that bitterness is the point: it's traditionally used to get digestion moving. The current St. Francis label keeps the focus on the digestive tract — gastritis and dyspepsia — and the root is cultivated in Ontario rather than wild-harvested, which matters for a plant that has been heavily over-collected in the wild. A clear 200 mg QCE per mL strength and a simple two-ingredient base make it easy to know what you're taking. Read the cautions first: it isn't for pregnancy, breastfeeding, or anyone using sedatives.

How Goldenseal Compares

Goldenseal vs. Echinacea Goldenseal

This tincture is goldenseal on its own. St. Francis Echinacea Goldenseal pairs it with echinacea for colds, flu and sore throat, while straight goldenseal is labelled for digestion.

Goldenseal vs. Barberry

Both are bitter, yellow-rooted herbs. St. Francis Barberry is labelled as a bitter tonic to ease indigestion; goldenseal also covers inflammatory digestive conditions such as gastritis.

Single herb vs. Canadian Bitters

St. Francis Canadian Bitters is a multi-herb digestive bitters blend. Goldenseal gives you one concentrated bitter herb instead of a formula.
