Pau d’Arco 100g

Pharma Germania Natural Products Pau d’Arco is a traditional South American herbal preparation derived from the bark of trees belonging to the Handroanthus genus, historically also classified within the genus Tabebuia.

Known traditionally as Pau d’Arco, Lapacho or Taheebo, the bark has a long history of use in South American herbal practices as a general restorative botanical and for supporting the body’s natural defences.

Pau d’Arco naturally contains several phytochemical groups, including naphthoquinones, quinones, flavonoids and other phenolic compounds. Particular attention has been given to lapachol and beta-lapachone in laboratory research.

These constituents have led to Pau d’Arco being widely promoted for fungal, bacterial and viral infections and even cancer. However, laboratory findings involving isolated constituents should not be interpreted as evidence that ordinary dried Pau d’Arco bark can prevent or treat these conditions. This product is more appropriately positioned for traditional general, immune and antioxidant wellness support.

Why Choose Pharma Germania Pau d’Arco?

Pau d’Arco has a distinctive history within traditional South American herbal practice and is valued for the phytochemicals naturally present within its bark.

Compounds such as lapachol and beta-lapachone have been extensively investigated in laboratory research. However, the amounts present in dried botanical material can vary, and laboratory findings using isolated or concentrated compounds cannot be directly extrapolated to Pau d’Arco herbal preparations.

Pau d’Arco should therefore not be considered a natural antibiotic, antifungal, antiviral or cancer treatment, nor should it replace appropriate medical treatment for an infection or other diagnosed condition.
