Pau D’ Arco Extract

When it comes to Pau D’ Arco, capsules and tablets are not effective. The effectiveness of Pau D’ Arco comes 1st, from the inner bark and not the outer bark (used mostly in tablets and capsules) 2nd, from the proper preparation of the bark. Pau D’ Arco bark must be boiled and extracted to release the volatile oils and esters, the key components that make Maxx Herb Pau D’ Arco and Pau D’ Arco Plus as effective as herbal dietary supplements! Your body’s digestive system is not capable of extracting these volatile oils and esters from capsules or tablets. Consequentially, Pau D’ Arco capsules and tablets are useless and a waste of your money! Our Pau D’ Arco and Pau D’ Arco Plus are in a concentrated liquid form rendering them far superior for maximum effectiveness than any Pau D’ Arco liquids, capsules or tablets on the market.

Pau D’ Arco caught the attention of some American researchers and the scientific community about 30 years ago. Because of the drug companies’ lack of interest in preventative health care, the research was very minimal.
However, the story is much different in South America. The inner bark of the Lapacho tree has been used medicinally by native South American people for centuries. [As a side note in South America Pau D’ Arco is always consumed in a liquid form and never in capsules or tablets.] Pau D’ Arco has been shown to help increase the production of red blood cells which carry the body’s oxygen supply and removes carbon dioxide from the bloodstream. Scientists isolated an active chemical found in the bark and termed it lapachol. Some researchers have theorized that other ingredients in the bark besides lapachol may have therapeutic benefits. Researchers have isolated over 20 active compounds in Pau D’ Arco. Research has shown Pau D’ Arco to have anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and antifungal properties, helping destroy bacteria, viruses, fungi and some parasites by increasing the supply of oxygen to the cells. Pau D’ Arco has also been shown to influence the activity of the immune system. In small dosages, it can support immune system activity and in large doses may suppress some unhealthy immune responses.

Pau D’Arco is Wild-Harvested from the Lapacho tree. The Lapacho tree grows predominantly in Central and South America. Pau D’ Arco is known by many other names including ipe roxo, taheebo and lapacho or lapachol.

In the mid-1960s a Brazilian physician discovered that the herb Pau D’ Arco had tremendous medical benefits. He claimed it was able to help relieve pain, increase red blood cell counts, and had anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties. Since then, additional studies by researchers such as Dr. Walter Accorsi, Dr. Robert M. Nakamura, and Dr. Theodoro Meyer have produced results showing its effectiveness. Books and articles were prepared and written regarding the topic of Pau D’ Arco, and there are patents for one of its compounds, lapachol.
