Scientists around the world have documented the active
properties of pau d'arco and its chemicals including the widely studied
chemicals, beta-lapachone and lapachol.* This huge rainforest canopy tree goes
by several names including taheebo, lapacho, tahuari, and of course, pau d'arco.
Raintree Nutrition's Pau d'arco Concentrated Extract uses new and proprietary
extraction methods to concentrate and preserve the active ingredients found in
this amazing rainforest tree. The main active chemicals in pau d'arco require
heat and alcohol to extract them as they are not very water soluable. Raintree's
extract is rich in active and beneficial phytochemicals which occur naturally in
this plant because we employ the best methods required based upon this plant's
individual phytochemistry—with heat and alcohol. The extraction methods utilized
provides the equivalent of approximately 500 mgs of pau d'arco bark per
milliliter of extract, resulting in a highly potent concentrated extract.
Traditional Uses:* for Candida, yeast and other
fungal infections (taken internally and used as a douche or topically); for
leukemia and cancer; for colds, flu and other upper-respiratory bacterial and
viral infections; for sexually transmitted diseases (syphilis, gonorrhea, etc.);
for psoriasis and dermatitis
