Solgar proudly introduces Achiote Leaf Vegetable Capsules. Each capsule provides 500 mg of a 4:1 extract of achiote leaf, an ancient Amazonian herb traditionally used to support microbial modulation.

While developed nations have employed the red pigment of achiote seed, also called annatto, in food products for hundreds of years, they have overlooked the leaf's important medicinal properties. Solgar is the first company to introduce achiote leaf in supplement for to the American marketplace.

Modern research shows that Achiote leaf has broad spectrum activity against a number of immune challenges, particularly against Bacillus subtilis, Streptoccus pyogenes, Streptococcus faccalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typla, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Esherichia coli.

Traditional uses of achiote leaf vary by region. In the Amazonian Northwest, Native Americans used a decoction of the leaves to support healthy respiration. In the Piura region of Peru, achiote leaf was considered gentle enough to relieve mild indigestion, yet potent enough to address liver function. In Surinam, a tea made from the herb was drunk to ease nausea. Brazilians used achiote leaf to provide relief from heartburn and stomach upset caused by spicy foods. Additionally, the herb was thought to strengthen immune resistance.
