The Japanese Knotweed powder consists of naturally dried and finely chopped pieces of Japanese Knotweed root.
Latin name: Polygonum cuspidatum. Also known by the English name: Japanese Knotweed. In Chinese herbal medicine as Hu Zhang.
Antioxidant
One of the most important bioactive substances in the root of the Japanese Knotweed is resveratrol. This substance is known as an antioxidant. That is why Japanese Knotweed offers protection against free radicals**. This herb owes this partly to the presence of vitamin C.
Menopausal symptoms
In addition to resveratrol, the plant contains emodin, a substance classified as a phytoestrogen. This herb can therefore also alleviate menopausal symptoms**.
Vitamins & Minerals
The Japanese Knotweed also has vitamins and minerals, including a high concentration of vitamin C and A. The minerals that the plant contains include zinc, potassium, phosphorus and magnesium.
