From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sodium ferulate, the sodium salt of ferulic acid, is a compound used in traditional Chinese medicine thought to be useful for treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and to prevent thrombosis, although there is no high-quality clinical evidence for such effects. It is found in the root of Angelica sinensis. Ferulic acid can also be extracted from the root of the Chinese herb Ligusticum chuanxiong.[1]
