Scopolia Extract
"For nutraceutical use, Alchem offers Scopolia Extract with all its inherent benefits"
Scopolia is a genus of five species of flowering plants in the family Solanaceae, native to Europe and Asia. Scopolia carniolica is a creeping perennial plant, with light green leaves and pale yellow to dull red flowers. Scopolia Extract, the active optical isomer of atropine (dl-hyoscyamine), is a tertiary amine anticholinergic gastrointestinal agent.
The applicable parts of scopolia are the rhizome and root. Scopolia root or rhizome contains 0.3% to 0.8% alkaloids, primarily L-hyoscyamine and lesser amounts of atropine and scopolamine. L-Hyoscyamine, the levorotatory isomer of atropine, is considered the active principle. Scopolia root has parasympatholytic activity. It is a competitive antagonist of acetylcholine, acting preferentially at the muscarinic receptors. Scopolia has antispasmodic effects, relaxing the smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal tract and bile ducts. Scopolia root can eliminate muscular tremors and muscular rigidity caused by central nervous impulses. It also has positive chronotropic and dromotropic effects.
Scopolia extract is used for spasms of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, bile ducts, and urinary tract, and for liver and gallbladder complaints. Scopolia is also used orally as a diuretic, sedative, hypnotic, narcotic, for dilating pupils, and pain relief.
The product addresses broad spectrum physiological concerns and has the band width and capabilities to meet expectations. Regular use should exhibit demonstrable results to inhibit various health related issues.
