Cochlearia officinalis
Northern European coastal plant used by sailors and Arctic explorers to prevent and treat scurvy. One of the highest vitamin C content plants in Northern Europe.
Scurvy Grass (Cochlearia officinalis) is a Northern European coastal plant historically used by sailors and Arctic explorers to prevent and treat scurvy due to its exceptionally high vitamin C content. Modern uses include as a vitamin C source, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial agent. Key active compounds include vitamin C, glucosinolates (sinigrin), and flavonoids.
The primary antiscorbutic action is due to high ascorbic acid content, which acts as a cofactor for collagen synthesis and antioxidant. Glucosinolates, particularly sinigrin, are hydrolyzed to isothiocyanates with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects via inhibition of NF-κB and modulation of phase II detoxification enzymes. Flavonoids contribute additional antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity through scavenging free radicals and inhibiting cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways.
