MT Mistletoe
Description: <b>Semiparasitic plant</b> that grows on apple, oak, pine and elm trees.<br>
Most bioactive ingredients of mistletoe have been identified and characterized such as lectins (I, II, and III), polypeptides (e.g., viscotoxins), and immunostimulatory glycoproteins (5–7). The extracts are also enriched in biologically active flavonoids, phenolic acids, sterols, lignans, terpenoids, and phenylpropanoids (8). There is strong evidence that the complete mistletoe extract is more potent than when isolated compounds are administered.<br>
