Detailed description
White birch, Betula alba, a tree in the Betulaceae family, is widespread in temperate and boreal regions of Europe and Asia. Its leaves are traditionally used to support elimination functions and general well-being.
They contain flavonoids such as hyperoside and quercetin, as well as polyphenols and phenolic acids. These compounds support the body’s natural drainage mechanisms. Indeed, birch leaves are recognized for their role in supporting proper renal elimination, thus promoting a harmonious water balance.
In addition, birch leaf extracts help maintain joint comfort.
