mCalm | Holy Basil

Holy basil is an adaptogenic herb. Adaptogens are known for their ability to promote homeostasis (balance) throughout the body.* This powder tastes peppery to us and has an aroma of peppermint, clove, licorice, and lemon. Easily mix into water or juice.

Chronic stress contributes to a broad spectrum of health problems. Holy basil may help support the body’s ability to function optimally in the face of physical, mental, and emotional stress.*

Our freeze dryer technology: Our process dramatically increases the exposed surface area, which, in turn, increases the rate of heat exchange, allowing larger quantities to be dried faster. The resulting porous particle structure is more bio-active (better preserved natural ingredients) and more bioavailable (more easily absorbed and metabolized). Our process is unique in that the plant tissue fractures between/along with the layers of the cell walls sustaining cellular integrity and the bioactive extracellular matrix. Exposure of the entire surface area to be dried results in “even” drying which preserves cell wall structure and preserves the biochemical makeup of the plant as it exists in nature. In addition to higher bioactivity, this process results in porous particles that are easier to absorb and are, therefore, more bioavailable. Higher bioactivity, combined with higher bio-availability makes all of our freeze-dried bioactive botanicals significantly more effective.* The analysis and measurement of targeted chemical compounds is a valid analytical tool but does not fully explain the body’s adaptive mechanisms. Our Processing takes you beyond the chemistry per se. Crucial FOUR takes a holistic approach that includes the subtle mechanisms of nature operating with intelligence through patterns of association and encoded information.*
