Chaparral

Chaparral (Larrea tridentata)

'The most successful plant in the deserts of the Western Hemisphere', also known as creosote, this hardy desert shrub dominates its environment and can reproduce through self-cloning.

NDGA (Nordihydroguaiaretic acid) is the main metabolite of chaparral, and has a unique array of antiviral, antifungal, antineoplastic, and antioxidant properties. Chaparral is the most abundant natural source of NDGA in the world.
