Sodium salicylate, also known by the names Sodium salt, Alysine, Ardall, Natrium salicylate, is an organic compound chemically referred to as NaC7H5O3. It is derived from salicylic acid and belongs to the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Its sodium salt has analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory properties that have been used in medicine since ancient times. Let's outline where this compound can be found and what its health benefits are.
Sodium salicylate is very often used in medicine, specifically in the treatment of various types of pain, inflammation or fever. For example, in many analgesic and antipyretic drugs you will find this very compound. In addition, sodium salicylate is used in cosmetics, mainly in acne products due to its anti-inflammatory abilities. In cleaning products, it acts as a preservative and prevents the growth of bacteria and fungi. Some studies have also suggested that sodium salicylate may have effects on the prevention of certain types of cancer. It is essential to emphasise that although sodium salicylate can be toxic in extremely high doses, in a large number of commercially available products its concentration is so low that it is safe for normal use.
