Wild Lettuce 400mg Capsules (Lactuca virosa)

Description

Wild Lettuce 400mg Capsules – Lactuca virosa

Wild Lettuce, botanically known as Lactuca virosa, is a bitter herb related to common garden lettuce but with a very different traditional herbal history. It is also commonly referred to as Prickly Lettuce or Bitter Lettuce.

The plant produces a characteristic milky sap known as lactucarium, which contains naturally occurring compounds including lactucin and lactucopicrin. These compounds have attracted scientific interest because of their reported sedative and analgesic activity in laboratory and animal research. Human clinical evidence, however, remains limited.

Calming & Relaxing Properties

Wild Lettuce is best known traditionally for its calming and sedative qualities. Historical herbal preparations used the plant to promote relaxation and support restful sleep, particularly when nervous tension or restlessness was involved.

Traditional Support for Restful Sleep

Because of its relaxing properties, Wild Lettuce has traditionally been used as a botanical for occasional sleeplessness and nighttime relaxation. Its traditional use is quite different from that of a conventional pharmaceutical sleep aid and should not be presented as an established treatment for insomnia.

Traditional Soothing & Pain Support

Wild Lettuce has also been used historically as a soothing botanical for mild aches and discomfort. Laboratory and animal research into lactucin and lactucopicrin has produced interesting findings regarding analgesic activity, but these results do not establish equivalent effects from 400mg oral capsules in humans.
