SALICIN YELLOW
Application
When willow bark is ingested, 80% of salicin content is absorbed. Once absorbed, the salicin is metabolized by the intestinal flora to saligenin. This is further metabolized by the liver to salicylic acid
Dosage
Overdose from high quantities of salicin can be toxic, damaging kidneys, causing stomach ulcers, diarrhea, bleeding or digestive discomfort. Some people may be allergic or sensitive to salicylates and suffer reactions similar to those produced by aspirin.
