Origins
Arctigenin is a naturally occurring plant lignan found in certain plants of the Asteraceae family. [1] [2]
Lignans, which are a class of estrogen like compounds dubbed phytoestrogens, have been shown to have several promising anti-viral and anti-carcinogenic effects.
The lignan, Arctigenin, can be isolated from leaves of the plant Arctium lappa; more commonly known as the Burdock or Greater Burdock.
