The Phytomem One label lists ten ingredients. Some will be familiar from the kitchen; others less so. Here is what each one is, in plain English.
The botanicals
- Saffron extract comes from the stigma of the saffron crocus. Beyond the spice rack, it is a popular ingredient in mood and focus formulas.
- Ceylon cinnamon bark is "true" cinnamon from Sri Lanka, milder than the cassia cinnamon in most supermarkets.
- Kudzu flower extract comes from a climbing vine used in traditional East Asian practice.
- Oleuropein is a polyphenol from olive leaves, known for its antioxidant character.
From the sea
- Fucoxanthin is the orange-brown pigment in brown seaweeds.
- Fucoidan is a complex sugar-based compound from the same seaweeds. Seaweed ingredients may contain iodine.
The plant compounds
- Berberine HCl is a yellow alkaloid from plants like barberry. It can lower blood sugar.
- Corosolic acid comes from banaba leaves and is often found in metabolic wellness products.
The citrus and the sweetener
- Morosil is a branded extract of Moro blood oranges grown in Sicily, rich in red anthocyanin pigments.
- Xylitol is a sugar alcohol found in many fruits. It is toxic to dogs, so keep the bottle out of reach of pets.
