Artemisinin is a dietary supplement ingredient derived from the plant Artemisia annua, also known as sweet wormwood.
Our artemisinin supplement provides a highly purified extract standardized to 98% artemisinin for consistency and reproducibility.
Artemisia annua has been referenced in traditional herbal practices for centuries, and artemisinin has been widely studied since it was isolated in the early 1970s.
This discovery was later recognized with the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2015, highlighting the scientific importance of this plant-derived compound.
In scientific literature, artemisinin continues to be explored for its potential interactions with various biological pathways, including those involved in cellular balance, oxidative processes and immune function modulation.*
These research areas remain exploratory and do not constitute therapeutic claims.
What is Artemisinin, or Sweet Wormwood?
A plant long used in traditional systems
Sweet wormwood (Artemisia annua, also known as qing hao) is a highly aromatic plant from the Asteraceae family, historically prepared as an infusion or decoction in traditional practices.
These traditional references are part of the plant’s historical background and should not be interpreted as evidence of therapeutic effects.
Nobel Prize recognition for artemisinin research
In the early 1970s, researcher Tu Youyou successfully isolated artemisinin from Artemisia annua, a scientific milestone later recognized with the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2015.
How is artemisinin studied?
Artemisinin is a sesquiterpene lactone with a distinctive chemical structure that has attracted ongoing interest in biochemical research.
Current studies explore how artemisinin may interact with physiological signaling pathways, including those linked to oxidative and inflammatory balance.*
What Does Research Explore About Artemisinin?
Research on artemisinin spans multiple scientific areas.
While published findings contribute to broader understanding of plant-derived bioactives, dietary supplements are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
- Studied for its potential role in supporting balanced immune function.*
- Explored in relation to cellular signaling and adaptive responses.*
- Researched for its possible interactions with inflammatory pathways.*
- Discussed in scientific literature related to oxidative balance and cellular resilience.*
What Does Our Sweet Wormwood Supplement Contain?
Our artemisinin supplement contains a purified extract from the aerial parts of Artemisia annua, standardized to 98% artemisinin to help ensure a consistent composition from batch to batch.
