WHAT IS WHITE WILLOW BARK EXTRACT 25% SALICIN?

Salicin, a natural glycoside derived from the bark of white willow trees, is the key bioactive component in White Willow Bark Extract 25% Salicin. This compound is commonly found in species such as Salix purpurea and S. fragilis, though other willow and poplar varieties also produce it. In addition to salicin, the extract contains benzoylsalicin (populin), another glycoside of interest. When processed, salicin breaks down into D-glucose and saligenin (salicyl alcohol), contributing to its notable antirheumatic and anti-inflammatory properties.
