Chemical composition
All parts of the plant contain so-called cardiac glycosides. These are substances that help normalize heart rhythm. The largest amount of them is found in flowers and seeds. The grass also contains these substances. Erizmin, erizimoside and some other glycosides have been isolated from jaundice.
In addition to them, the plant contains flavonoids, glucose, fatty acids, including oleic, erucic, palmitic, alpha-linoleic and linolenic.
