Gastrodin

What Is Gastrodin?

Gastrodin is the principal bioactive compound extracted from the dried rhizome of Gastrodia elata Blume. Gastrodin appears as a white crystalline powder at room temperature and is readily soluble in water, methanol, and ethanol. In addition to natural extraction, it can also be obtained through chemical synthesis and microbial biosynthesis.
