Japanese knotweed is a plant species in the knotweed family, native to southern Asia. Its current distribution also includes Europe and even parts of Poland. It has been classified as an invasive species, meaning a species that can directly threaten the endemic wildlife of the area. Japanese knotweed is primarily known for its medicinal properties, and a high concentration of a compound known as trans-resveratrol is responsible for these.
Resveratrol is an organic chemical compound from the group of polyphenols. It exists in the form of two isomers, cis- and trans-, where only trans- has biological importance for our body. In higher concentrations, it is found mainly in Japanese knotweed and grapes - the health benefits and advantages of occasional red wine consumption have been known for a long time.
