Allantoin Powder

Allantoin Powder

Allantoin is a chemical compound that is found in almost all mammals except for humans and primates.

When the body breaks down purines – chemical compounds that come naturally from the foods we eat – it excretes those purines through the urine. Before excreting those purines, the body needs to break down uric acid. Once the uric acid is broken down, it is excreted from the body in the form of allantoin.

In the human and primate bodies, we simply excrete uric acid without converting it to allantoin.

So why are people talking about a chemical compound found in animal urine?

Well, when the human body doesn’t eliminate urine quickly enough, it can lead to toxic buildup within your system. When your kidneys can’t process uric acid quickly enough, it leads to buildup within your bloodstream, leading to a medical condition known as gout.

To prevent toxic buildup in your system, some people take allantoin.

Instead of getting allantoin from animal urine, people get it from a plant known as the comfrey plant. Herbal extracts of the comfrey plant are prized for their medicinal and therapeutic benefits.

    Functions of Allantoin Powder    

Allantoin is prized by herbalists for its ability to treat a number of conditions.

Herbalists will often use allantoin to treat psoriasis, for example, which is a chronic skin condition characterized by inflammation and redness across the skin, as well as silvery scales on portions of the skin.

Some herbalists also use allantoin to treat other skin conditions. In one small study, for example, allantoin was applied topically to treat the itching associated with atopic dermatitis.

Traditionally, allantoin was also used to treat eczema.

In general, allantoin’s anti-inflammatory properties make it a popular option when treating all different types of skin irritation conditions. Since it’s a natural compound generally regarded as safe, it’s popularly used to treat a variety of skin conditions involving redness and irritation.
