Stachydrine, also known as proline betaine, is a naturally occurring alkaloid found in citrus, caper, chestnuts, alfalfa, Leonurus japonicus , Maclura tricuspidata , Stachys arvensis and Arisaema heterophyllum . It has been studied for its potential health benefits. [1] [2] [3] Neonatology researchers from the Masonic Institute for the Developing Brain at the University of Minnesota demonstrated that both stachydrine and the related molecule, homostachydrine, displayed lowered CSF and blood levels in Rhesus Macaques with early-life iron deficiency providing a possible diagnostic biomarker in humans.
