Trilobatin is a natural compound found in a variety of plants, particularly Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica) and certain varieties of tea. It belongs to a class of compounds known as flavonoid glycosides, which have been studied for their potential health benefits, including their antioxidant properties and potential as a natural sweetener. Trilobatin is not as well known as other high-intensity sweeteners, but is used in the food and beverage industry for its sweetness and health benefits.
