Isoorientin
Isoorientin (or homoorientin) is a flavone, a chemical flavonoid-like compound. It is the luteolin-6-C-glucoside. Bioassay-directed fractionation techniques led to isolation of isoorientin as the main hypoglycaemic component in Gentiana olivieri.[1]

Metabolism
gollark: FTB Utils has claims?
gollark: What? There might be entirely valid reasons there, it's not like any reason to not do something you're trying to is an excuse.
gollark: I just don't really go outside anyway.
gollark: It's always good to have plenty of spare alts. I may or may not have some in this very server, for purposes.
gollark: California's power grid is known for its reliability so desalination would work well there.
