Phytochemistry Reviews Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Arthrocnemum macrostachyum (Moric.) K.Koch (glaucous glasswort) is a C3 halophytic perennial shrub belonging to the family Amaranthaceae. This halophyte is native to coastal zones in the Mediterranean basin, Middle East, and Asia. Studies have demonstrated the importance of studying A. macrostachyum due to its nutritional and protective health benefits. This review presents a comprehensive overview of the phytochemical content of A. macrostachyum along with reported bioactivities that are pharmacologically relevant to human health.
