Goldenseal Root Powder, Organic, 20g, Frontier Natural Products

Frontier Natural Products Organic Goldenseal Root Powder delivers certified organic Hydrastis canadensis root — one of North America's most prized medicinal herbs — rich in berberine and hydrastine for powerful immune, antimicrobial, and mucous membrane support. Repackaged by SuperfoodsNZ into a convenient 20g resealable pack — the ideal size for first-time use or occasional herbal practice.

Why

Not all goldenseal is created equal. Wild goldenseal is listed as threatened or endangered in numerous US states due to over-harvesting — which is why sourcing matters. Frontier Natural Products sells only certified organic cultivated goldenseal, sustainably grown under controlled conditions without wild-harvesting. SuperfoodsNZ repackages this same premium Frontier powder into a convenient 20g resealable pack — identical quality to the 113g bag, just in a more accessible size. USDA Organic (certified by QAI), kosher, and nothing but pure goldenseal root.
