Häufige Fragen zu Sage

What is sage traditionally used for?

Sage is one of the classic culinary and medicinal herbs of the Mediterranean and has been valued since antiquity. It is characterised by its essential oils and plant compounds such as rosmarinic acid and tannins. People traditionally use it in cooking, as a tea, and as a concentrated extract in their daily routine.

What role does rosmarinic acid play in sage?

Rosmarinic acid is one of the valuable plant compounds in sage and serves as a key marker of quality. High-quality sage extracts are standardised to a defined content, typically around 2.5 percent. This ensures every portion contains a consistent share of the characteristic compounds.

What is the difference between an extract and leaf powder?

Leaf powder consists of finely ground, dried sage leaves and stays closest to the original plant. An extract is gently drawn from the leaves and adjusted to its valuable compounds, such as rosmarinic acid, making it more concentrated. You will find both forms with us in vegan, lab-tested quality.

Macedonian sage leaves from southern European cultivation are especially prized. Look for a standardised rosmarinic acid content, gentle processing, and transparent labelling. Our sage products are vegan, lab-tested and filled in Germany, so you get consistent purity and quality.
