Description: Fluid extract of the root and bark of Muira puama, Ptychopetalum olacoides, in ethanol and purified water. 

Other Names: Potency wood, marapuama, miruatan.

What is it used for: This tree has a plethora of uses among the indigenous peoples of the Amazon, including the following: adaptogen, alopecia (applied topically for hair loss), anorexia, antioxidant, aphrodisiac,  fatigue, impotence, neurasthenia, nerve tonic, stimulant, tonic and tremors (Quattrocchi, 2012; Piato et al., 2010; Berdonces, 2009; Duke et al., 2009; Taylor, 2005; Rutter, 1990). Muira puama seems to address both the physical and psychological problems associated with impotency. Muira puama’s efficacy for erectile dysfunction seems to be due in part to its nerve-stimulating properties. The mechanism of action of its aphrodisiac effect on sexual desire remains unknown. Workd best in combination with other herbs with similar effects (as in Newtons Male Drops), such as Epimedium, Korean ginseng, Damiana, Tribulus, Maca, and Gingko.
