European Ash

Why You Need It

• Supports Joint Comfort: It helps reduce inflammation, making movement easier and less painful.
• Reduces Water Retention: It acts as a gentle diuretic, helping to flush out excess fluid without depleting essential electrolytes.
• Maintains Healthy Blood Sugar: Compounds in the leaves may help support normal glucose metabolism.
• Promotes Urinary Tract Health: Its traditional use includes flushing the urinary tract to prevent minor infections.

Deep Dive

European Ash leaf extract is distinct from other herbal supplements because of its high concentration of Fraxin and Esculin. These compounds are known as coumarin glycosides. While they sound complex, their function is straightforward: they support the body's natural filtration systems.

For the everyday person, this translates to feeling 'lighter' and more mobile. If you struggle with that heavy feeling in your knees or ankles after a long day, or if you notice puffiness due to water weight, European Ash helps the body regulate fluid balance and soothe inflammatory responses naturally.

Natural Food Sources

It is important to note that European Ash is not a nutritional vitamin found in everyday foods like Vitamin C in oranges. It is a specific herbal compound extracted from the Ash tree. However, similar compounds (coumarins and polyphenols) can be found in other fruits and vegetables:

Supplementation

Because the specific compounds in European Ash leaves are difficult to consume in large quantities via diet alone (you would need to eat a large volume of leaves, which are bitter), supplementation is the most effective route.

• Dosage: Most clinical studies utilize a specialized extract (often branded as OVNA™). A common dosage is 500mg of leaf extract daily.
• Who Should Take It: Individuals experiencing mild joint stiffness, those looking to support weight management by reducing water retention, or people looking to maintain healthy blood sugar levels.

Note: Always look for standardized leaf extracts, not raw bark.
