Himalaya Tulasi 60 tablets - holy basil, immunity, breathing

Himalaya Tulasi - 60 tablets with holy basil extract

Himalaya Tulasi is a single-ingredient preparation: each tablet contains only the extract from the aerial parts of Ocimum sanctum, or holy basil, known in India as tulasi. The manufacturer declares 250 mg of this extract in one tablet, and the packaging contains 60 tablets. The entire active ingredient is contained in this one extract. Himalaya describes the formula as 100% vegetarian and free from sugar, artificial colors, artificial flavors, and preservatives. Note the term 'aerial parts.' The manufacturer describes the raw material as the entire above-ground part of the plant, not just the leaf - and since tulasi preparations can be made from different parts of the plant, this line clarifies what you have in your hand. Exact values and allergen information can be found on the product label.

• Substancje pomocnicze potrzebne do sprasowania tabletki

Holy basil is a plant from the mint family, related to common basil known from Mediterranean cuisine, but it is a separate species with a different aromatic profile and different uses. In India, it is cultivated near homes and temples, and in Ayurvedic tradition, it is called tulasi. The commercial name 'holy basil' that you will find on English-language products refers to exactly the same species. Himalaya lists the raw material as aerial parts, meaning the entire plant above ground, and states this directly on the product card - along with the Latin name, this provides two pieces of information that clarify what is in the packaging. When comparing brands, start with these, and consider the number of milligrams as a secondary criterion, not the primary one.

How to use

Himalaya provides one dosing scheme for adult users on the product card:

• 1-2 tabletki dwa razy dziennie lub zgodnie z zaleceniem lekarza
• Swallow the tablet whole, drinking water.
• Most conveniently with meals, at regular times of the day.
• Do not exceed the dosage recommended by the manufacturer

Tulasi is often consumed as an infusion from dried leaves, which is a completely different way of using this plant than a tablet with extract. If you were looking for tea, this product will not replace it and is not intended for that purpose. For long-term use, determine the duration of the treatment and any breaks with a specialist - the manufacturer includes a disclaimer stating 'or as directed by a physician.' When taking medications regularly, consult a specialist about using herbal preparations; Himalaya considers such advice to take precedence over its own regimen.

Who is it for

This is a product for someone who wants a single raw material in a repeatable quantity and chooses a tablet instead of an infusion or powder. Tulasi is usually purchased in one of three forms: as dried leaves for brewing, as powdered herb, and as an extract in a tablet - the latter is the simplest for daily use, as it does not require measuring or brewing. The formula is declared as fully vegetarian and sugar-free. The tablet is also the least troublesome when traveling: it does not need a kettle, strainer, or space for a jar of dried herb, so the packaging can go in your carry-on luggage and return untouched. The product is not intended for children; pregnant and breastfeeding women are advised to consult a physician before starting use.

Frequently asked questions

How much extract is in one tablet?

The manufacturer declares 250 mg of extract from the aerial parts of Ocimum sanctum in one tablet. Apart from that, the formulation contains only auxiliary substances. The packaging contains 60 tablets, and the declared amount of extract is the same in each of them, so one tablet from the box corresponds to any other, and you simply count the portion by the number of tablets.

Is tulsi the same basil used in the kitchen?

No. Holy basil and common basil belong to the same genus, but they are two different species, with different aromas and uses. The English commercial name 'holy basil' refers to the same species as tulasi. Look for the Latin name Ocimum sanctum on the label, as that is what matters, not just the word 'basil' in the description.

From which part of the plant is the extract made?

From the aerial parts, meaning from the entire plant above ground, not just from the leaf - this is how the manufacturer states it on their card. This is important when comparing brands, as many tulasi preparations are made exclusively from leaves. Different parts of the plant are different raw materials, and the number of milligrams does not make them interchangeable.

Is the product vegetarian?

Yes. Himalaya describes the formula as 100% vegetarian and separately declares the absence of sugar, artificial colors, artificial flavors, and preservatives. If you have food allergies, check the label on the packaging before first use - that is where the allergen information applicable to a specific batch is found, and in case of doubt, ask the seller.

Variants and category

The product is sold in one packaging size, exclusively in tablets. In the same Ayurvedic line from Himalaya, there are also Himalaya Guduchi and Himalaya Amalaki in tablets - these are separate raw materials with their own compositions and dosing, not variants of the same recipe. We have gathered all of them in the category Supplements.
