The herbaceous plant red root belongs to the genus Kopecica from the legume family. The popular name is kopeck forgotten, also known as bear root. The herb is famous for its unique properties, which are used to treat disorders of the genitourinary system, oncology, anemia, and is used as a tonic and stimulant in folk medicine. Herbal tinctures are used by emperors in China, which confirms its uniqueness.

Forgotten kopekweed (red root) is a perennial herb, sometimes appearing at first glance as a low shrub or less commonly a subshrub.
Visually, the plant can be described as follows: the stem is strongly pronounced, the flowers are in dense racemes, the leaves are odd-pinnate and the beans are segmented.

The main advantage of the pennyweed is the root, which is hidden underground; it is about 11 m long and about 13 cm thick, as for the color, it is clear from the name. It is rich in a huge amount of oligomeric catechins of a separate condensed type. These are the ones that are worth paying attention to, as they belong to the unique bioflavonoids that give the red root tincture its red color.

You can also come across the name as Bear Root - there are opinions because the bears who eat it like it, and also Squirrel Root - it was called that way because it grows near “squirrels” - accumulations of snow in the mountains.
