Elemicin is a natural organic compound that is a constituent of the essential oil of nutmeg. It is partially responsible for the psychoactive effects of nutmeg.[1] Elemicin is also a minor constituent of the oleoresin and essential oil of Manila Elemi (Canarium luzonicum). One study found it to comprise 2.4% of the fresh essential oil.[2] Raw nutmeg has caused anticholinergic-like effects in a patient, attributed to elemicin, as well as myristicin. [3]
