Pau d’Arco Extract

Made for your daily routine.

The extract is standardized to 5% lapachol, a characteristic naphthoquinone in Pau d’Arco. This specifies the compound content rather than relying only on the weight of powdered bark.

At the maximum serving of 2 capsules daily, the product provides 1,000 mg of extract and 50 mg of lapachol. The ingredient list contains the extract and a plant-based pullulan capsule. Each 100-capsule bottle provides 50–100 days of use.

Pau d’Arco Extract

Why are Pau d’Arco and lapachol of interest?

Pau d’Arco inner bark contains several natural compounds, including naphthoquinones such as lapachol. This formula uses a 15:1 extract standardized to 5% lapachol, giving a defined specification. Standardization describes composition and does not by itself establish clinical benefits.

Pau d’Arco Extract

What does research say about Pau d’Arco Extract?

Research on Tabebuia impetiginosa focuses largely on bark compounds, particularly naphthoquinones such as lapachol. Reviews discuss phytochemistry and experimental immune and inflammatory pathways. An ex vivo study in human lymphocytes examined cytokine responses, while other work uses microbial and parasite models. These laboratory findings do not establish clinical effectiveness or treatment benefits for this supplement.

02The medicinal plant Tabebuia impetiginosa potently reduces pro-inflammatory cytokine responses in primary human lymphocytes

Rachael Y. M. Ryan, Alejandra Fernandez, Yide Wong, John J. Miles, Ian E. Cock

Scientific Reports (2021), 11, 5519. DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-85211-8; PMID: 33750911.

Researchers examined pau d'arco bark extracts in primary human immune cells outside the body. Different extracts affected cytokine release patterns, demonstrating biological activity of compounds in the bark. This is laboratory research into the ingredient, rather than evidence of clinical effects from supplementation.

FAQ / Pau d’Arco Extract

Good questions. Clear answers.

Talk to us ↗

What is Pau d’Arco, and where does it come from?

Pau d’Arco is a traditional name for South American Tabebuia trees, also called lapacho or taheebo. This supplement uses Tabebuia impetiginosa inner bark extract, a source of characteristic compounds including naphthoquinones.

What does a 15:1 extract mean?

The ratio describes the amount of starting plant material relative to the resulting extract. It indicates a concentrated preparation rather than simply powdered bark. It does not directly measure clinical potency.

What does 5% lapachol standardization mean?

Lapachol is specified as 5% of the extract. It is a characteristic naphthoquinone associated with Pau d’Arco. The specification makes the composition clearer than the plant name alone.

How do I take Pau d’Arco Extract?

Take 1 capsule once or twice daily with a meal. Two capsules provide 1,000 mg of inner bark extract, including 50 mg of lapachol. Do not exceed the recommended daily serving.

How long does the bottle last?

Each bottle contains 100 capsules. It lasts 100 days at 1 capsule daily or 50 days at the maximum serving of 2 capsules daily.

Does the capsule contain gelatin?

No. The capsule shell is made from pullulan. The formula contains Pau d’Arco inner bark extract and the plant-based shell, and is labeled vegan.

Can I take Pau d’Arco Extract with medication?

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before use if you take medication, especially regular treatment or several supplements. They can review the full combination without you changing prescribed care yourself.
