Active Constituents

Arjuna bark contains glycosides, flavonoids, tannins, and minerals. Flavonoids are traditionally valued for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, while glycosides are associated with Arjuna’s long-standing reputation as a cardiotonic herb.

One notable constituent is casuarinin, along with other naturally occurring compounds that have attracted interest for their role in cellular support and protection from oxidative stress.
