FAQ > What is Chalcone?\; |
As scientists began to analyze the reason for the unusual longevity of the Hachijo Island residents, they discovered that Ashitaba is the only plant known to contain Chalcone, a class of potent flavonoid compounds.
Ashitaba contains a thick, sticky yellow juice, which is not found in
other celery plants. This yellowish element in Ashitaba is neither a flower
pigment nor a carotene, but rather two kinds of "CHALCONE" conductors, named
"Xanthoangelol" and "4-Hydroxyderricin".
