Japanese Knotweed

Resveratrol in Japanese knotweed provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The recommended dosage of Japanese knotweed is the label recommendation taken once per day. Emodin, a compound in Japanese knotweed, directly decreases inflammation and exerts antiviral activity relevant when myocarditis has a viral trigger. Japanese knotweed is identified as the first-priority intervention for myocarditis due to its two pharmacologically active compounds: resveratrol and emodin.
