White Willow Info And Products
A Great Weight Loss Additive

1. What is it and where does it come from?

White willow (Salix alba) is a tree species, native to Central and S. Europe, that is also cultivated in North America. The bark of the tree is removed, and the salicin glycosides extracted. It also goes by the name pussy willow.

There are no known dietary sources of white willow. Use must come through supplementation of oral capsules or topical creams. It is possible to consume white willow by chewing on the bark of the Salix Alba tree, thereby leaching the glycosides from the bark and ingesting them sublingually.

When ingested, salicin (the active glycoside in white willow) is converted into salicylic acid. Salicylic acid is believed to be the consitutent responsible for mediating white willows effects.¹ White willow has been used successfully as a natural alternative to synthetic salicylic products.

White willow also has the ability to stay in the body longer than synthetic salicin products.

White willow has been shown to be an effective addition to widely used herbal weight-loss supplements.

Everyone can benefit from supplementing with white willow. White willow offers a natural alternative to commercially prepared synthetic salicin preparations.

Athletes can benefit from supplementing with white willow, because peace of mind can come from knowing that white willow will not result in liver problems typical of some synthetic salicin products.

Label directions should be strictly adhered to at all times.

In its natural form salicin is relatively harmless, but synthetic commercial preparations can cause stomach upset if consumed in high doses.

Many of the known side-effects of commercially prepared salicin products are absent when consuming natural white willow. However, just because white willow is a "natural" version of salicin, it does not follow that the natural substance is completely harmless. Abuse will lead to the same symptoms present when abusing commercially prepared synthetics.

If one were to abuse salicin at all, one would be better off abusing the synthetic versions, as many of these have a shorter half life than white willow. A shorter half-life will expedite the removal of the substance from the body and side-effects would terminate more quickly. Thus, by abusing white willow (a longer-acting natural salicin) one may suffer worse effects. It should be noted, however, that tolerance for natural salicin is generally much higher than tolerance for the synthetic versions, and thus one would have to far exceed label directions to notice toxic effects.

Signs of overdose or side-effect can include nausea, ringing of the ears, fatique and irritability.

Persons who are sensitive to salacin products should not supplement with white willow, nor should individuals suffering from ulcers or gastric disorders³. Those who suffer from allergies to salicylates should avoid white willow as supplementation can increase the risk of anaphylactic reaction.⁴

Under no circumstances should white willow be mixed with other pain relieving substances, nor should white willow be administered to children (persons under the age of 18).

There are different brand names that manufacture supplemental white willow. Below is a listing of all available white willow products for sale on Bodybuilding.com.
