Product Information

• Name: Gaultherin
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Gaultherin is a glycoside compound, which is a naturally occurring product. It is derived primarily from the leaves of the Gaultheria species, such as wintergreen, and several other plant sources. The mode of action of Gaultherin involves its enzymatic hydrolysis into methyl salicylate and glucose. Methyl salicylate is a well-known analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent, acting through the inhibition of cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX), subsequently reducing the synthesis of pro-inflammatory prostaglandins.
