Kudzu root Extract (3681-99-0)

Kudzu, also known as Japanese Arrowroot, is an invasive perennial vine in the pea family (Fabacea) that is native to Eastern Asia. They are considered weeds in most regions, as the vines quickly grow to cover entire trees, killing them by blocking out sunlight. Kudzu was introduced in North America in 1876 in the southeastern U.S. to prevent soil erosion. But kudzu spread quickly and overtook farms and buildings, leading some to call to kudzu “the vine that ate the South.” Kudzu is now commonly found throughout the midwest and southeastern United States. The leaves & roots are edible and have been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries. Kudzu’s root, flower, and leaf are used to make medicine.
