Salicin itself cannot treat illnesses; rather, it must be metabolized into salicylic acid by intestinal flora in the human body to manifest its medicinal effects.
And if salicylic acid compounds are taken directly, the drug's bioavailability will increase significantly.
Therefore, several years ago, Joseph instructed the pharmaceutical factory to conduct extensive experiments on producing salicylic acid. However, it was only at the beginning of this year that a scholar named Antoine de Fucqrua successfully converted salicin into salicylic acid via oxidation.
After tests by the pharmaceutical factory, sodium salicylate is 3 to 5 times more effective than salicin!
It is foreseeable that, once this drug is put into production, it will bring tremendous profits to the factory.
