Organic Burdock - 250 mg - 100 vegetarian capsules

○ Latin name: Arctium lappa ○ Dosage: 250 mg per capsule Burdock, also known by the scientific name Arctium lappa, is a perennial plant native to Europe and Asia. It can reach a height of two meters and produces pink-purple flowers that turn into hooked seed heads, which easily cling to clothing and animal fur. ֍ According to legend, in 1941, a man named Georges de Mestral, a Swiss engineer, noticed that burdock seeds had attached themselves to his dog during a walk in the fields. Curious, he examined the seeds under a microscope and discovered that they were covered in tiny hooks that easily attached to tissues and hairs. This observation inspired Georges de Mestral to invent Velcro, a material that uses hooks and loops to adhere to each other. Thus, the discovery of burdock indirectly led to the invention of Velcro, which today is used in a variety of applications, from fashion to sports to aerospace.
