Understanding Butterbur

Butterbur (Petasites hybridus) is a perennial shrub native to Europe and parts of Asia. Traditionally, its extract has been used by herbalists to maintain respiratory comfort and general wellbeing. The active compounds, pet and isopet, are thought to contribute to its traditional uses.

Because raw butterbur can contain pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) — which may be harmful to the liver — Nutricost ensures their extract is PA-free through rigorous independent testing. This allows you to enjoy the botanical's traditional benefits with added safety.

Who Might Uses Butterbur?

Butterbur supplements are often chosen by adults seeking natural support for respiratory comfort or as part of a seasonal wellness approach. It may also appeal to those interested in herbal alternatives for occasional tension headaches. However, pregnant or nursing women, individuals with liver conditions, or those taking prescription medications should consult a health care professional before uses.

As with any supplement, individual needs vary. Nutricost's butterbur is vegetarian-friendly and free from common allergens, making it suitable for many dietary preferences.

Selecting a Reliable Butterbur Product

When choosing a butterbur supplement, consider three key factors: standardisation, PA content, and third-party testing. Standardised extracts guarantee consistent levels of active compounds like pet. PA-free certification is essential because unprocessed butterbur may contain potentially toxic alkaloids. Independent testing confirms purity and potency.

Nutricost's butterbur meets all these criteria. Each batch is tested by an independent lab for PAs, heavy metals, and microbial contaminants. The product is manufactured in an NSF-certified, GMP-compliant facility, ensuring high quality standards.
