Matteo, sul fitoDB c'è il ramie ossia il tessuto orientale fatto con la Bohemeria Nivea. La niponivea è la varietà giapponese della stessa pianta, ma ritengo che il suo attuale successo lo debba agli studi sulla sua efficacia anti-dht che si sono svolti inizialmente in Giappone e non nel continente asiatico. In altre parole per me non c'è differenza sostanziale tra la varietà continentale e quella giapponese, entrambe sono peraltro ramie (o kogane mushi).
Dal DB non si evince comunque molto sulle sostanze segrete contenute nella foglia, c'è però FAT, grasso(i), in percentuale variabile tra lo 0,5% e il 3,8% (qui è in ppm, parti per milione e nei germogli SHOOT è più elevato). Il 10% si ottiene con l'estratto che è fatto con l'acetone, un solvente lipofilo.
