The compound, artepillin C, is linked to antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties but is available from natural sources in smaller amounts of inconsistent quality. It is commercially available as a bee culture product and can be produced by some plants. It is challenging to produce herbal medicine on an industrial scale.

Food Ingredients First

The European Parliament’s decision to dilute the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is receiving a barrage of criticism from environmental activists and other industry stakeholders for what is seen as “watering down” of policy targeting the fight against commodity-linked deforestation.
