WHAT STUDIES SAY
What research reveals about Kalawalla.
In a human clinical study involving 22 participants, researchers investigated how oral Polypodium leucotomos extract influenced the skin's response to ultraviolet radiation. The findings suggested that the studied extract could help reduce certain UVB-related skin changes when used alongside established sun-protection practices.
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology (2017)Laboratory and clinical research has examined the antioxidant properties of Polypodium leucotomos extracts, including their potential to reduce oxidative stress associated with environmental exposure. These findings have encouraged further investigation into the fern's applications in dermatological wellness.

YOUR DAILY RITUAL
The Kalawalla Ritual.
Its antioxidants begin protecting your cells from day one, and its immune-balancing compounds start working in the background. Some notice their skin feels less reactive to the sun, while others notice fewer flare-ups of everyday inflammation, like stiff joints or irritated skin.
With consistent daily use, Kalawalla’s benefits build. Your immune system has time to find its balance, inflammation has time to settle, and skin clarity has time to show. In studies, visible skin benefits appeared after about 12 weeks.

QUESTIONS?
FAQs: Kalawalla
Kalawalla is a South American fern root traditionally used to support immune balance, healthy skin, and cleansing. It’s rich in antioxidants that help protect cells from oxidative stress.
Laboratory and clinical research has investigated the immune-modulating properties of certain Polypodium leucotomos extracts. However, evidence is insufficient to establish the same effects for Kalawalla root tea.
Standardized Polypodium leucotomos extracts have been studied for their antioxidant and photoprotective properties. These findings do not establish that Kalawalla tea provides the same effects, and it should never replace sunscreen or other established skin-protection measures.
Mild, earthy, and slightly woody.
If you take blood pressure, heart, or other prescription medications, speak with your healthcare provider first. Kalawalla may increase the effects of some medications.
Enjoy daily for up to 6 weeks, then take a 1 week break before continuing.
