Traditional Background

Kale is a leafy green from the Brassica family and has long been used as a robust, nutrient-dense food in traditional European cuisines. As a “supergreen”, it is valued for its broad spectrum of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. In herbal nutrition, dried kale is often used as a convenient, concentrated way to add green plant nutrients to the daily diet.

Active Constituents

Vitamins & Minerals: Kale naturally contains vitamin K, vitamin C, folate and a range of minerals including calcium, potassium and magnesium, which support many aspects of general wellness.

Carotenoids: Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids associated with eye and macular support and general antioxidant protection.

Glucosinolates: As a Brassica vegetable, kale contains glucosinolates, which the body can convert to isothiocyanates – compounds studied for their role in detoxification and cellular protection.

Chlorophyll & Fibre: Kale provides plant fibre and chlorophyll, traditionally associated with digestive wellness and gentle detoxification support.

Traditional Uses

Nutritive Tonic: Kale is used as a food-like tonic to support general vitality, especially where additional greens may be beneficial.

Detox & Liver Support: Brassica vegetables are often recommended in traditional and modern wellness approaches to support liver detox pathways and overall cleansing.

Bone & Cardiovascular Support: The combination of vitamin K, minerals and antioxidants makes kale a popular addition in protocols that support healthy bones and circulation, as part of a balanced diet.

Important Notes

Kale is a food-like herb and generally well tolerated. As a Brassica, it may contain natural goitrogenic compounds; individuals with thyroid conditions or on thyroid medications should discuss regular, concentrated use of Brassica greens with a practitioner.

Increase intake gradually if you are not used to a high-fibre or high-green diet.
