Research & Evidence
Tremulacin is a phenolic glycoside of the salicylate family, found in the bark and leaves of willow (Salix) and poplar (Populus) species. Like the better-known salicin, it is one of the plant compounds that can be metabolized toward salicylic acid, the class long associated with the traditional anti-inflammatory and analgesic use of willow bark. Its individual activity has not been extensively characterized apart from this broader salicylate context.
