Ingredient Information: Catuaba Bark Extract is derived from the bark of trees such as Trichilia catigua or Erythroxylum vacciniifolium, native to the Brazilian Amazon, through water or ethanol extraction processes. Composed primarily of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen, it contains bioactive compounds including catuabine alkaloids (e.g., catuabines A-D), flavonoids, and tannins. It is processed into a concentrated, water-soluble powder or liquid, retaining its traditional aphrodisiac and tonic properties.

Uses: Widely used in dietary supplements as an aphrodisiac to enhance libido and sexual performance, and as a nervine tonic to reduce stress, anxiety, and fatigue, based on traditional Brazilian herbal medicine. It is also employed in functional beverages and herbal blends for its purported cognitive and mood-enhancing effects, though scientific evidence remains limited. Additionally, it finds application in cosmetics for its antioxidant properties, supporting skin health in anti-aging formulations.
