Feverfew (High Parthenolide) is also known as Bachelor's Buttons. This herb offers nutrition and support to the body's central nervous system. Part of the sunflower family, feverfew is commonly cultivated in gardens throughout the United States and Europe. The active chemical in feverfew is called parthenolide. Although parthenolide is the active ingredient which gives feverfew its healing capacity, this herb also contains iron and niacin. Nature's Sunshine feverfew offers a high concentration of parthenolides which is what you want in a feverfew supplement.
In addition to supporting the nervous system, feverfew may also be used to treat headaches and support joint health. It may also regulate the body's natural serotonin and prostaglandin levels. When properly balanced, these two naturally occurring chemicals can help reduce inflammation in the body and keep arterial blood flow functioning normally. Yet another benefit of feverfew is its ability to help the body prevent the release of histamines, which may be one reason this herb is so effective for joint comfort and health. Natures Sunshine feverfew contains 291 mg of feverfew offering 500 mcg of parthenolide.
