Green Cardamom Seed Extract
(Elettaria cardamomum)

Main benefits:
Digestion. Bloat. Detox. Hormones. Inflammation.

Origin and Source:
Harvested from the lush forests of Southern India, Elettaria cardamomum is known as the “Queen of Spices.” Long used in Ayurvedic and Unani medicine, Green Cardamom is a fragrant seed with potent antioxidant and digestive properties. At NØØT, we use a concentrated extract of the seeds, standardized for cineole and terpenes that drive its functional benefits.

 

NØØT Classification:

Green Cardamom is a Digestive-Circulatory Phytogen, selected for its role in supporting gut flow, detox pathways, hormone metabolism, and inflammation regulation. We include it in NØØT blends where bloat, hormonal congestion, or sluggish digestion stand in the way of clarity and glow.

 

Key Benefits and Science

Digestive Flow & Bloat Support

• Traditionally used to soothe gas, indigestion, and abdominal tension — especially post-meal or during PMS.
• Stimulates bile and enzyme production, supporting smoother digestion and nutrient absorption.

Detox & Liver Support

• Helps activate phase I and II liver detox enzymes, supporting elimination of toxins and excess hormones.
• Often used in formulations for skin clarity, hormonal balance, and post-antibiotic recovery.

Hormonal Balance & Cycle Flow

• Contains plant compounds that support estrogen metabolism and circulation, often paired with warming herbs to assist menstrual comfort.
• Commonly used in Ayurvedic protocols for cycle regularity and hormonal detoxification.

Antioxidant & Skin Radiance

• Rich in terpenes and polyphenols that combat oxidative stress and free radical damage.
• Indirectly supports skin glow by reducing internal inflammation and enhancing digestive health.

 

Why It’s Good for You

Green Cardamom is a small seed with a wide reach — clearing digestive stagnation, reducing bloat, supporting detox, and even easing hormonal heaviness. Whether you’re seeking radiant skin, a calm gut, or clearer energy, cardamom helps your body let go of what it doesn’t need — gently and beautifully.

 

Usage

Best used in blends focused on gut flow, hormonal balance, or skin detox. At NØØT, Cardamom is often paired with ingredients like Fennel, Ginger, and Dandelion to activate movement, metabolism, and post-meal comfort.
