Populin — aspen bark extract: antiparasitic, choleretic, immunomodulatory buy in Ukraine

Aspen bark (Populus tremula) is one of the oldest natural remedies in Eastern European folk medicine. Our ancestors used it to treat parasitic infections, liver diseases, and to strengthen immunity. Today, Andriy Duiko, founder of Tibetan Formula and a herbalist with over 20 years of experience, has embodied this tradition in a modern concentrated product — Populin.
Populin is a concentrated aqueous extract of aspen bark combined with dihydroquercetin. The product is made in Ukraine at the Duiko family’s own facility, adhering to ISO 9001 and ISO 22000 quality standards. No synthetic additives, colors, or preservatives — just the power of nature in every drop.
Customers note Populin’s effectiveness for opisthorchiasis (liver parasites), cholecystitis, and bile duct issues, as well as for immune system strengthening. The product has a distinctive bitter taste — a characteristic sign of genuine aspen bark extract, indicating a high content of active substances.
Composition and active substances of Populin
Populin’s effectiveness is determined by the unique combination of two key components:
| Ingredient | Active substances | Mechanism of action |

| Dihydroquercetin (taxifolin) | Flavonoid from the flavanonol group, natural antioxidant | Powerful antioxidant effect, strengthening of blood vessel walls, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects, enhancement of the main extract’s action |
Composition per 15 ml (1 serving): concentrated aqueous extract of aspen bark, dihydroquercetin. No artificial colors, preservatives, or GMOs.
Health benefits of Populin: clinical studies
The effectiveness of Populin components is confirmed by peer-reviewed scientific publications in international medical journals. Below are key studies with links to original sources in the PubMed database.
1. Antiparasitic effect of aspen bark — preclinical and clinical data
Studies show that salicin and populin—the main glycosides of aspen bark—have pronounced anthelmintic activity. They disrupt parasite metabolism, inhibit their motility, and reduce their reproductive capacity. This is especially relevant for opisthorchiasis—a parasitic infection of the bile ducts and liver common in Ukraine.

2. Choleretic and hepatoprotective effects
Bitter substances and flavonoids from aspen bark stimulate bile production and flow, reduce bile viscosity, and decrease the risk of stone formation.

3. Dihydroquercetin — antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects
A systematic review confirmed that dihydroquercetin (taxifolin) is one of the most powerful natural antioxidants.
