Asparagus Extract, 60 Veggie Caps, Swanson

Full-spectrum asparagus support — 170mg rhizome & root extract plus 100mg stem per capsule, delivering the complete benefits of one of nature's most alkaline, nutrient-rich vegetables in a convenient vegetarian capsule.

Why

Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis) has been valued as more than just a food since ancient times. As one of the most alkaline foods available, it has a long history of use for supporting fluid balance, kidney function, and the body's natural cleansing processes. It belongs to the lily family — alongside leeks, garlic, and onion — and is one of the few vegetables that naturally provides the ideal 2:1 ratio of calcium to magnesium, alongside meaningful amounts of vitamins A, C, and K.

Swanson's formula uses both the rhizome and root extract (the most concentrated source of active compounds) and the stem — providing a more complete nutritional profile than root-only or stem-only products.

Key Benefits

• Supports healthy fluid balance and natural cleansing
• Antioxidant support — rich in glutathione precursors and flavonoids
• Alkaline food — supports healthy pH balance
• Natural source of vitamins A, C, and K
• Provides the ideal 2:1 calcium to magnesium ratio

• 60 veggie capsules — 30-day supply at 2 capsules daily
• Vegetarian, science-backed quality since 1969

Formula Highlights

• Asparagus Extract (Asparagus officinalis) Rhizome & Root — 170mg per capsule — The rhizome and root are the most concentrated parts of the asparagus plant, rich in steroidal saponins (including asparanin and sarsasapogenin), flavonoids, and asparagine — a natural amino acid with mild diuretic properties that supports fluid balance and kidney function.
• Asparagus Stem (Asparagus officinalis) — 100mg per capsule — The edible stem provides complementary nutrients including glutathione (a master antioxidant), folate, vitamins A, C, and K, and the ideal 2:1 calcium to magnesium ratio. Including the stem alongside the root extract ensures a more complete, whole-plant nutritional profile.
