Is Tranexamic Acid Natural?

Q: Is Tranexamic Acid natural?

Tranexamic Acid has a Natural Origin Index (NOI) of 0.00 (scale 0–1) per ISO 16128. The primary commercial synthesis route for Tranexamic Acid starts from petrochemical feedstocks, resulting in a Natural Origin Index (NOI) of 0.0. An NOI of 0.00 means 0% of its molecular mass is traceable to a natural, renewable source.
