What is LEKRASET Angervaks made of, and how does this affect your choice of product? — Meadowsweet, 50 g – Lekraset

LEKRASET Angervaks is a single-herb tea: the pack contains only cut meadowsweet herb (Filipendula ulmaria), with no extracts, capsule shells, flavourings or preservatives. This format is chosen by those who prefer a minimal composition and want to control the strength of the infusion or decoction themselves.

Meadowsweet herb contains several groups of natural compounds:

• Salicylates — plant substances historically associated with a feeling of lightness in the body. They are the reason the product is not suitable for people who are sensitive to plant salicylates.
• Flavonoids — compounds with antioxidant properties, widely found in medicinal herbs.
• Tannins — give the drink its characteristic astringent taste; in folk tradition, herbs containing tannins are included in regimens to support digestion.

In folk use, meadowsweet is also mentioned in the context of reducing fluid retention and supporting metabolic processes and the respiratory tract during the cold season. This is a food supplement, not a medicine: the product is not intended to treat or prevent diseases. According to the label, the product is contraindicated during pregnancy, breastfeeding and in cases of individual intolerance; if you have chronic conditions or take other products, consult a specialist before use.
