Rainforest indigenous Indians first discovered the libido
enhancing qualities of catuaba and over the last centuries have composed many
songs praising its wonders.* In Brazil this plant is considered a central
nervous system stimulant and used for sexual weakness and lowered libido in both
men and women.
Raintree Nutrition's Catuaba Concentrated Extract uses new
and proprietary extraction methods to concentrate and preserve the active
ingredients found in this amazing Brazilian plant. It is rich in active and
beneficial phytochemicals which occur naturally in this plant. The methods used
provides the equivalent of approximately 500 mg of catuaba bark per milliliter
of extract - resulting in a highly potent concentrated extract.
Traditional Uses:* as an aphrodisiac and libido
stimulant for males and females; to tone, balance, and calm the central nervous
system (and for nerve pain, exhaustion, over stimulation); for nervousness,
emotional stress, and insomnia (related to overactive neurotransmitters); as a
general tonic (tones, balances, strengthens overall body functions); for poor
memory, Alzheimer's disease, and dementia
