Emodin

A natural orange anthraquinone found in rhubarb, especially in the roots of Chinese rhubarb, in some Rhamnus buckthorns and in Japanese knotweed; it contributes to the laxative effect of these plants. This family brings together the active ingredient and other impurities.

Did you know?Its name comes from Rheum emodi, the Himalayan rhubarb. Plants are not its only makers: many fungi, such as those of the genus Aspergillus, and some lichens also produce it.
