Willow extract, derived from the bark of the white willow (Salix alba L.), naturally contains the valuable bioactive substance salicin. This extract is known for its supportive effect on supple muscles and joints.
The white willow (Salix alba L.), a common tree in the Netherlands, was examined in 1828 by the German pharmacist Johann Andreas Buchner. He discovered that the bark of the willow is rich in salicin, a special glycoside: a compound of a sugar with a non-sugar part, which only occurs in plants. Salicin supports joint function and contributes to the maintenance of supple muscles.

Star anise is a tree or shrub whose fruits serve as a spice. Originally from southern China and Vietnam, it is now also grown in Cambodia, Laos, Japan and the Philippines. Best known for its eight-armed fruits, this tree has been known as a spice in Europe since the 17th century, but is best known for its Asian flavor profile. Star anise thrives in warm tropical areas.
The fruits are often used whole or ground into an easily dosed powder. The spicy taste is not in the seeds, but in the lignified peel of the fruit. Star anise has an intense scent of anise due to the large amount of anethole in the essential oil. The taste of the fruit is richer and firmer than that of the anise plant.
