Constituents: Herbal Extract Company Mistletoe 1:1
- Current phytochemical studies have shown that lectins, hetero-dimeric glycoproteins, polysaccharides, viscotoxins, alkaloids, lipids, triterpenes, peptides, flavonoids, cyclitols and amines are principal bioactive phytochemicals of mistletoe.
- The phytochemical profile of mistletoe depends on the host trees of this plant.
- Being a semiparasitic plant normally found growing on a variety of trees, especially pine, poplar, oak, apple trees, locust trees etc.), mistletoe can biosynthesise its own compounds but it can also take some nutrients from the host trees.
- It has been suggested that pharmacologically active compounds may pass from the host trees to the parasitic plants.
- So far literature studies haven’t revealed exactly what compounds are only biosynthesised by mistletoe and that could be taken from the host trees.
