Pau D’Arco Extract

Pau d’Arco extract is derived from the inner bark of the Pau d’Arco tree, scientifically known as Tabebuia avellanedae or Tabebuia impetiginosa. This tree is native to the rainforests of Central and South America, particularly in countries such as Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay. The extract has a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine, where it has been called "lapacho" or "taheebo."The active compounds in Pau d’Arco are primarily napthaquinones, including lapachol and beta-lapachone, which are believed to contribute to its therapeutic properties. It also contains various flavonoids and other phytochemicals.
