What is Boldo?
Boldo, also called Peumus boldus, is a shrub from the Monimiaceae family, native to South America, particularly Chile. In herbal medicine, its leaves are mainly used for their digestive properties.
The active ingredient mainly found in the leaves is boldine, a powerful alkaloid which promotes the excretion of bile, thus facilitating the digestion process . Boldine has hepatoprotective functions, that is to say it supports liver functions and in particular detoxification. This makes it a real plant that helps cleanse your liver .
The benefits and virtues of Boldo
Boldo, due to its boldine content, has many benefits.
Boldo and digestion
Boldo has a primary function in accelerating intestinal transit thanks to its action on increasing bile production, which induces faster and optimal digestion of food. Indeed, bile mainly participates in the digestion of fats and the elimination of excess cholesterol. It is produced by the gallbladder during digestion .
This process helps facilitate the functions of the intestinal microbiota and promote an optimal digestive system .
Boldo and muscles and joints
Boldine has many benefits for muscles and joints.
It promotes the transmission of nerve impulses, which facilitates the coordination of movements as well as muscle contraction while facilitating muscle recovery. This will also have an impact on maintaining mobility and flexibility of the joints .

Boldo supplementation is mainly done in the form of capsules but can also be done in the form of an infusion.
