White Willow Bark (Salix alba) is standardised for salicin — the natural precursor to salicylic acid from which aspirin was originally derived. Unlike synthetic aspirin, willow bark delivers salicin along with accompanying polyphenols (flavonoids, tannins) that provide complementary anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic effects through COX enzyme inhibition, with a gentler gastrointestinal profile than NSAIDs.
Applications:
- Natural pain relief and anti-inflammatory supplement formulations
- Back pain and musculoskeletal pain management products
- Fever management and antipyretic natural formulations
- Sports recovery and inflammation management supplements
Key Features & Benefits:
- Salicin — natural aspirin precursor with gentler GI profile
- COX inhibitor — anti-inflammatory and analgesic action
