White Willow Extract - Guaranteed natural salicin content
White Willow Extract (34:1) 240mg from EssentialSeries is an extract of Salix alba bark (certified species), 34 times more concentrated than the original raw material, and standardised to 50% salicin, the main salicinate characteristic of the plant’s bark, which is highly valued for its nutritional benefits.
Salix alba, known as white willow, is a tree from the salicaceae family. It typically grows in central and southern Europe, in Mediterranean climates due to its favourable conditions, and also in northern Africa and western Asia. Native Americans and other traditional cultures used white willow infusions and preparations for its natural salicin content.
HSN's White Willow Extract is prepared respecting the integrity of the plant and its native compounds, without the use of solvents that are aggressive to the composition.

High extraction ratio - 34 times more concentrated extract
Plant extracts are prepared using procedures that allow the natural part of the plant to be concentrated by X percent.
The extraction ratio increases the natural concentration of the plant’s compounds per unit of powder.
Typically, plant extracts have a variable concentration, with white willow usually ranging from a 3-12:1 extraction ratio.
Our white willow extract is not only prepared using traditional extraction methods that are gentle on the raw material and its native compounds, but it also offers the most concentrated presentation with no less than 34 times the natural concentration of Salix alba bark.
One 240mg capsule provides the equivalent of over 8 grams of white willow bark.
Bark extract - The most concentrated part in salicinates
While white willow (Salix alba) is often referred to as the plant with the highest natural salicin content, it is actually the bark that holds this concentration.
It is common for many manufacturers not to use salix bark to prepare their extracts, as this part is more highly valued for its nutritional significance.
This means you might find white willow extracts with salicin content around 10 to 15%, as they use parts of the plant that are naturally less concentrated.
Our Salix alba extract is exclusively prepared from white willow bark, with no other parts of the plant used in its composition.
Guaranteed natural salicin content - 50% of its composition guaranteed
50% of the Salix extract composition is pure salicin.
Knowing the precise salicin content requires detailed analyses of the average values of manufactured batches of Salix extract.
This is why many companies do not declare the bioactive content of their extracts, as they either do not know or have not analysed it.
If you want guaranteed effectiveness, knowing the content of important compounds in the plant extracts you consume is key. At HSN, we guarantee a minimum content of 50% salicin in white willow extract, standardised using highly sensitive analysis methods to ensure precise content.
Formula with natural vitamin C to complement its action
Each vegetable capsule of our extract provides 100% of the recommended daily dose of vitamin C in pure ascorbic acid form.
80mg of vitamin C per daily dose, which contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system.
White Willow is an anciently used plant - Discover its properties
Since before Christ, when in ancient Greece Hippocrates reported the existence of a bitter compound characteristic of white willow, which had positive potential at a functional level: to salicin. The plant has been traditionally used to prepare infusions and other preparations to consume its natural salicin in a bioavailable form.
White willow has many properties, among which its functions of helping relaxation and physical and mental wellbeing stand out.
It is also commonly used by athletes, as it contributes to muscle and joint health.
