Herb Pharm Artemisia Annua Liquid Extract - 1 Fl Oz
Herb Pharm Artemisia Annua Liquid Extract — Certified Organic, 1 fl oz
Artemisia annua (Sweet Wormwood) is the botanical source of artemisinin — a sesquiterpene lactone endoperoxide that forms reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the presence of iron through peroxide bond cleavage, creating targeted oxidative stress in iron-rich cellular environments. Artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) is the WHO's first-line treatment for malaria; the same iron-dependent mechanism accounts for much of the herb's broader bioactivity research. Artemisinin also has notable anti-inflammatory properties through NF-κB and TNF-α inhibition, reducing downstream inflammatory cytokine production. Herb Pharm extracts certified organic Artemisia annua aerial parts (flowering tops and leaves) in a concentrated liquid format, preserving the full spectrum of bioactives including artemisinin, flavonoids (casticin, artemetin), and essential oils.
