Yangonin is a natural compound found in the bark of the Myristica fragrans tree, commonly known as nutmeg. It belongs to a class of compounds called terpenes, which are known for their aromatic properties. Yangonin has gained interest for its potential effects on the endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating various physiological processes in the body. Research suggests that yangonin may have psychoactive properties similar to those of THC, the active component in cannabis. Some studies indicate that it could influence mood and cognition, although more research is needed to fully understand its effects and potential therapeutic applications.
