Jatobá is used throughout the Amazon rainforest for a quick
boost of natural energy without any caffeine or other harmful stimulants.*
Chemical analysis of jatobá shows that it is rich in biologically active
compounds including diterpenes, sesquiterpenes, flavonoids, and
oligosaccharides. Some of these chemicals (such as copalic acid, delta-cadinene,
caryophyllene and alpha-humulene) have shown to exhibit antifungal, antiyeast,
and antibacterial actions in independent laboratory studies.
