Recipie

The extraction process requires the use of advanced laboratory equipment to ensure both effectiveness and safety. Atropa bella-donna primarily contains atropine, but also significant amounts of other tropane alkaloids, including hyoscyamine and scopolamine. It is challenging to selectively isolate atropine from scopolamine and hyoscyamine due to their similar chemical properties.
