Our Polypodium leucotomos Extract Powder is a high-quality powder from the fern traditionally known as "Calaguala." The raw material comes from sustainably cultivated plants. We use an advanced, low-temperature water-based process for extraction, which carefully protects the delicate and unique profile of bioactive compounds found naturally in the plant.
The extract is to ensure consistent levels of key compounds for supporting immune function and providing photoprotection. Based on scientific research, it serves as a natural ingredient for modern nutrition and advanced skincare formulations. As an approach to skin health, it works to support the skin's resilience and vitality which makes it an ideal choice for innovative supplements.
