White willow is one of the oldest plants used for its soothing properties. Its bark contains salicin, a natural precursor of salicylic acid that helps maintain joint and muscle comfort. Dynveo’s extract is standardised to 25% salicin — 125 mg per 500 mg capsule — one of the most concentrated on the French market, with standardisation ensuring a stable, reproducible content from batch to batch.

White willow bark is traditionally associated with joint comfort and physical relaxation. Its richness in flavonoids and catechin tannins complements the action of salicin with a synergistic effect. Unlike synthetic acetylsalicylic acid, plant-based salicin is broken down gradually in the body, which generally means better digestive tolerance for most users.

Most white willow extracts on the market contain between 5% and 15% salicin. A minimum 25% titration ensures a precise, high intake of the active compound in every capsule, giving consistent results regardless of natural variation in the raw material. Each batch is checked by HPLC to verify titration and the absence of contaminants such as heavy metals.

Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is a synthetic derivative, while the salicin in white willow is a natural compound that the body converts gradually into salicylic acid — a physiological process that explains the generally better digestive tolerance seen with the plant extract, which also brings flavonoids and tannins absent from synthetic aspirin and contains no added colourings, preservatives or chemical fillers. The bark used comes from wild Salix alba varieties, hand-harvested and extracted using a solvent-free hydro-ethanolic process; capsules use a 100% plant-based pullulan shell suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Take 1 capsule a day with a meal and a large glass of water. This provides 500 mg of total extract and 125 mg of salicin. For extended use, we recommend regular breaks or seeking advice from a healthcare professional. White willow does not cause drowsiness and is suitable for daytime use; a 60-capsule bottle covers two months at one capsule a day.

This food supplement is not recommended for people allergic to salicylates, nor for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Because it contains salicin, it is also not recommended for children without prior medical advice. People on anticoagulant or anti-inflammatory treatment should consult their doctor before use. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. A food supplement is not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.

What are the main benefits of white willow salicin?

Salicin is well known for its favourable action on joint and muscle comfort. As it is converted into salicylic acid in the body, it helps ease the discomfort linked to overworked joints. The flavonoids present in the whole extract reinforce this effect through a synergistic action.

Can white willow be taken continuously?

A course can last several weeks. For long-term use, we recommend regular breaks, for example one week off every four to six weeks, or seeking advice from a healthcare professional. The 60-capsule pack allows a two-month course at one capsule a day.
