White Willow Bark Extract

White willow bark extract is derived from the bark of the white willow tree (Salix alba). It has been used for centuries for its medicinal properties, particularly as a pain reliever and anti-inflammatory agent. The key active ingredient in white willow bark is salicin, which the body converts into salicylic acid. This compound is chemically similar to aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) and has similar effects.
