Chinese Peony is widely used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It has many active components like polyphenols, and paeonol, but it's the paeoniflorin, a monoterpene glycoside, that's the most abundant component and main biologically active ingredient of the Chinese Peony root extract.

Research has shown that paeoniflorin has immunoregulatory, antidepressant, anti-arthritis, antithrombosis, anti-tumour, hepatoprotective, cerebral ischemic injury protective, and neuroprotective effects.  

As we’ll see, this is why Chinese Peony is included as a key ingredient in both our Skin and Joint Thera-Chews™️ for dogs.
