Bobinsana is a shrubby tree that grows 4 to 6 meters high
that is usually found alongside rivers and streams in the Amazon Basin. It is
native to South America and can be found in the Amazon regions of Peru, Ecuador,
Colombia, Brazil and Bolivia. Bobinsana has a long history of use among the
Indians and local people in the Amazon. Raintree Nutrition's Concentrated
Bobinsana Extract uses new and proprietary extraction methods to concentrate and
preserve the active ingredients found in this wonderful plant. Concentration and
extraction methods provide the equivalent of 500 mg of bobinsana bark per
milliliter of extract.
Traditional Uses:* for arthritis and rheumatism; as a
blood cleanser; for uterine cancer; as a stimulating tonic; for colds/flu
