Contains salicylic acid (plus).
Some studies have shown that willow bark extract is genotoxic, but there is no strong evidence for this.
The estrogenic effect may be a problem, as it has certain affinities for phytoestrogens.

It seems like alot of plants contain saIicylic acid, Filipendula ulmaria is another common one where i live. Maybe that would be a better alternative if youre worried about potential estrogenic effects from bark extract. Another interesting one is Vitex agnus-castus, raises progesterone...

@hyukan It’s great. All the benefits of aspirin without the side effects.
