Frequently Asked Questions about Zi Su Ye Extract

What is Perilla Leaf / Zi Su Ye (Perilla frutescens) extract?

Perilla leaf extract is a dietary supplement made from the dried leaf of Perilla frutescens, an annual plant in the mint family (Lamiaceae) that grows to about 1.2 metres and is cultivated across China, Korea, Japan and Vietnam. In traditional Chinese herbalism the leaf is called Zi Su Ye, and in pharmacopoeia texts it appears as Folium Perillae; the same plant is widely known in cooking as Japanese shiso and Korean kkaennip. Our extract is made from the dried leaf and is offered in two forms: an alcohol-free glycerite and a traditional alcohol-based tincture, each prepared from ethically sourced raw material grown in China. This is a whole-leaf liquid extract that carries the leaf's natural spectrum of constituents - it is not an isolated or standardized single compound. We label the product by botanical name and plant part so it is clear this is the leaf of Perilla frutescens.

What is the difference between the alcohol-free and tincture versions?

Both are liquid extracts of the same Perilla frutescens leaf; only the solvent differs. The alcohol-free version is a glycerite made with vegetable glycerin and crystal-clear water, which suits those who prefer to avoid alcohol. The tincture uses a traditional blend of vegetable glycerine, alcohol and water. Choose the alcohol-free glycerite if you prefer no alcohol; choose the tincture if you prefer a classic alcohol-extracted format with a longer shelf life.

Is this culinary shiso, or the same as perilla seed?

Neither, though both are closely related. The fresh perilla leaves sold as shiso in Japanese cooking or kkaennip in Korean cooking come from this same species, but they are a food ingredient - fresh leaves used to wrap meat, garnish sushi, or flavour pickles. Our product is different in form: it is a concentrated liquid extract made from the dried leaf and prepared as a dietary supplement, not a culinary green. It is also a different plant part from perilla seed and perilla fruit, which in Chinese herbalism carry their own name, Zi Su Zi, and which we sell as separate products - the leaf and the seed are treated as distinct herbs, so they should be chosen deliberately. One more point worth knowing: perilla occurs in different chemical types, and the type used in cooking and in herbal practice is the one rich in perillaldehyde. We label the product clearly by botanical name and plant part so there is no confusion between the leaf extract, the culinary leaf, and the seed.

How do I use Perilla Leaf liquid extract?

Shake well before use. Use the number of drops and the frequency shown on the label, in a little water, tea or juice, or as directed by your practitioner. Drink the entire contents. The alcohol-free glycerite and the tincture are used the same way; choose the one that fits your preference.

Is Perilla Leaf extract right for everyone? Safety and storage.

Perilla leaf is widely eaten as a food in East Asia and is generally well tolerated, but perilla is also a recognised food allergen for some people, so anyone with a known perilla, sesame, or mint-family sensitivity should be cautious and start with a small amount. As with any concentrated herbal extract, it is best not to exceed the suggested serving size. Use during pregnancy and nursing only under the supervision of a practitioner. Excessive amounts may affect alertness, so use care when driving or operating machinery. This product is formulated for adults; it is not intended for children or for animals. If you take any prescription medication or are managing a health condition, talk with a qualified healthcare practitioner before use, and it is wise to consult a practitioner trained in traditional Chinese herbs before combining it with other herbs. Keep out of reach of children. Store as directed on the label. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
