Catuaba Powder

Catuaba Powder is made from the dried bark of Brazilian trees traditionally known as catuaba. In Brazil, catuaba is one of the best known folk herbs for vitality and energy, especially for men, and it appears in herbal tonics, teas and supplements sold across South America and beyond.

Arizone International supplies Catuaba Bark Powder for supplement manufacturers, herbal tonic and tea brands, men's wellness companies, wholesalers and exporters, with clear species information.

What Is Catuaba?

The name catuaba comes from the Tupi language of Brazil and is often explained as "what gives strength to the Indian". It is not a single plant. Several different trees are sold under this name, most commonly Trichilia catigua and Erythroxylum catuaba, along with others. They grow in the Atlantic forest and other regions of Brazil. The bark is stripped, dried and powdered, or cut for teas and tinctures.

Because the trade name covers several species, buyers should agree the exact botanical source, as composition and quality differ. We provide species information and documentation with every supply.

Traditional Use

In Brazilian folk medicine, catuaba bark has long been used as a tonic for tiredness, low energy and stress, and it is widely known as a traditional aphrodisiac. It is often soaked in cachaça, sugar cane spirit, or combined with herbs such as muira puama and guarana in popular tonics. In the northeast of Brazil, sweet catuaba-flavoured wine drinks are sold widely.
