Ingredients Properties

Devil's claw (Harpagophytum procumbens) is an herbaceous plant, frequently found in Namibia’s red steppes. Its fruit has long branched arms - hook-shaped - justifying it being regularly nicknamed as the devil’s claw. Its secondary tuber releases the iridoide glucosides active constituent.

There are three iridoide glucosides (harpagoside, harpagide, procumbide) recognised for their benefits in the articular field. According to Commission E, ESCOP and WHO, harpagophytum participates in the normal function of joints and helps maintain joint flexibility. As a reminder, it was introduced in Europe by German farmer Mehnert who had settled in Namibia during colonisation. Local tribes such as Bochiman use harpagophytum roots as herbal tea or decoction.

Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme obtained by precipitating out juice from the pineapple stem. It must be strictly protected from the stomach’s acidity to keep all its proprieties. Its degree of proteolytic activity is measured in GDU/gram. The higher the number of GDU, the stronger the enzyme. To reach interesting effects, it is advisable to try and reach an activity level exceeding 2,000 GDU/gram.

The salicin active ingredient is extracted from the bark of the common white Willow (Salix Alba), long ago validated by science and strongly recommended by Commission E, ESCoP and WHO for certain disorders. Salicin is transformed into salicylic acid in the liver. The active level of white willow extract is directly proportional to its salicin content.

Meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria) is a native plant with flowering heads particularly rich in salicylic acid.
