Artemisinin is a well-known botanical also referred to as Artemisia annua or qinghao. Artemisinin contains bitter molecules called sesquiterpene lactones which play an important role in protecting the herb under harsh conditions. These bitter molecules can protect the plant by disrupting the phospholipid membrane of the cells of pests and invaders, and interfering with their transport proteins and mitochondrial function.
Artemisinin also contains an unusual peroxide bridge that is unique among natural products. This is believed to be responsible for its mechanism of action, which when cleaved can generate abundant free radicals that support healthy microflora balance.*
Very quick response when my normal supplier was out of stock. It is a change with the capsules after taking the tablets for years.
I was hoping that the other essential oils, like cinnamon and eucalyptus, would be more prominent. I can’t do mint. It makes me gag.
My review is personal. I was hoping, based on ingredients listing, that it would have a more dominant flavor of eucalyptus, cinnamon and anything other than mint. I can’t do mint without gagging. I’d love your product if it didn’t have an overpowering taste of mint. I like your intent and am bummed that I can’t use the toothpaste or mouthwash.
Quality product and timely shipping. Happy with this purchase.
I've used this toothpaste for many years. The one time I ran out and used a different paste I went for a cleaning and found that I had a cavity. With Tooth and Gum Essentials I've had very few cavities. It's worth the money.
