What Are Cleavers?
Cleavers is a botanical plant with the scientific name Galium aparine. It is also commonly known as goosegrass, stickyweed or catchweed.
Cleavers is frequently included in botanical and lymphatic support supplement blends, particularly alongside dandelion and burdock root.
The VT Supplements formula provides 400mg of cleavers extract per daily serving. The extract has a 10:1 concentration.
What Does a 10:1 Cleavers Extract Mean?
An extract ratio describes the concentration of botanical material used to produce an extract.
A 10:1 ratio means that approximately ten parts of the original plant material are used to produce one part of concentrated extract.
When comparing cleavers capsules, check whether the product contains ground plant powder or a concentrated botanical extract, and compare the amount provided by the complete recommended daily serving.
What Is Dandelion Leaf Extract?
Dandelion is a flowering plant with the botanical name Taraxacum officinale. Different supplements may use the leaf, root or other parts of the plant.
This formula specifically contains dandelion leaf extract rather than dandelion root.
Each recommended daily serving provides 300mg of dandelion leaf extract at a 10:1 concentration.
Customers comparing dandelion supplements should check which part of the plant is used, as dandelion leaf and dandelion root are separate ingredients.
What Is Burdock Root?
Burdock is a botanical plant with the scientific name Arctium lappa. The root is commonly used in traditional botanical preparations and modern food supplements.
Each daily serving of the VT Supplements formula provides 250mg of burdock root extract at a 10:1 concentration.
The concentrated extract is combined with cleavers and dandelion leaf in one daily botanical complex.
What Is Gotu Kola?
Gotu kola is a botanical ingredient with the scientific name Centella asiatica.
Each recommended daily serving provides 150mg of gotu kola extract. The extract is standardised to contain 10% triterpenes.
Standardisation means the extract is manufactured to provide a defined concentration of selected naturally occurring plant compounds.
What Is Turmeric Extract?
Turmeric comes from the plant Curcuma longa. Turmeric food supplements may contain powdered turmeric root or a concentrated turmeric extract.
The VT Supplements formula provides 150mg of turmeric extract per daily serving. The extract is standardised to contain 95% curcuminoids.
Curcuminoids are naturally occurring compounds found within turmeric. A standardised percentage helps customers compare the concentration used in different turmeric supplements.
Why Is Black Pepper Extract Included?
Each daily serving provides 5mg of black pepper extract from Piper nigrum.
The black pepper extract is standardised to contain 95% piperine. Piperine is a naturally occurring component of black pepper.
Vitamin C and Zinc
The botanical complex also provides vitamin C and zinc. Each nutrient supplies 100% of the Nutrient Reference Value per recommended daily serving.

How to Choose a Lymphatic Support Supplement
Lymphatic support supplements can vary in their ingredient combinations, botanical concentrations, capsule count and recommended serving.
When comparing cleavers, dandelion and burdock root supplements, consider:
- The complete list of botanical ingredients
- The amount of each ingredient per daily serving
- Whether the product uses plant powder or concentrated extracts
- The extract ratio, such as 10:1
- Whether selected extracts are standardised
- The percentage of curcuminoids in turmeric extract
- The percentage of triterpenes in gotu kola extract
- Whether vitamins and minerals are included
- The number of capsules required each day
- The number of daily servings supplied
- Whether the capsule shell meets your dietary requirements
A larger headline number does not automatically make one botanical supplement the right choice for every individual. Compare the complete formula and the quantities provided by the recommended daily serving.
Botanical Extracts Versus Plant Powders
Plant powders are generally produced by drying and grinding botanical material. Concentrated extracts are manufactured using a greater amount of original plant material to produce a smaller amount of extract.
The VT Supplements formula uses concentrated 10:1 extracts of cleavers, dandelion leaf and burdock root.
It also contains gotu kola standardised to 10% triterpenes and turmeric standardised to 95% curcuminoids.
Why Combine Cleavers, Dandelion and Burdock Root?
Cleavers, dandelion leaf and burdock root are three botanical ingredients commonly found together in multi-herbal and lymphatic support supplement formulas.
The VT Supplements complex combines:
- 400mg cleavers extract
- 300mg dandelion leaf extract
- 250mg burdock root extract
- 150mg standardised gotu kola extract
- 150mg standardised turmeric extract
- Vitamin C and zinc
- Standardised black pepper extract
This provides a convenient alternative for customers who would otherwise need to purchase several separate botanical supplements.
