Description:
Bindweed Extract is a concentrated extract of sea bindweed (Calystegia soldanella, also known as Convolvulus soldanella). Convolvulus is derived from the Latin, convolere, meaning "to entwine", and arvensis, meaning "of fields."1 The genus convolvulus contains about 250 species. Convolvulus is an ubiquitous weed, but arvensis is understood to contain alkaloids that are toxic. However, extracts of the plant, largely comprised of proteoglycan molecules (PGMs), appear nontoxic in animal studies, and have been shown to have potent anti-angiogenetic effects.
