Wild Lettuce 20:1 Extract Capsules

About This Plant

Wild lettuce (Lactuca virosa) is part of the Asteraceae family and grows wild in Europe, North America, and parts of Asia. It’s not the lettuce you eat in salads – totally different plant. It’s commonly found in fields, along roadsides, and other open areas.

🌼 This one gets pretty tall and has yellow flowers. Cut the stem and white milky stuff comes out. Some people call it “lettuce opium” because of that white sap, but it’s got nothing to do with real opium.

What’s This 20:1 Deal?

Here’s how it works. We start with 20 parts of dried wild lettuce. Then we concentrate it down to just 1 part extract. So you’re getting way more in each capsule than if we just ground up the leaves. We pull out all the plant fiber and keep the good stuff. No chemicals or weird processing methods.

People Have Used This Forever

Wild lettuce shows up in old herbal books from way back. European folk medicine used it for centuries. Historically, the leaves were sometimes smoked or brewed into teas for calming or sedative effects. The dried latex from the stems was also used in traditional practices.

Today’s herbalists still work with it. Some make tea from the dried leaves. Others want capsules because you know exactly what you’re getting each time.
