Muira puama

Also known as: Ptychopetalum olacoides, "potency wood"

Muira puama is an Amazonian tree whose bark and roots are traditionally used to support libido and energy. Human research is very limited and mostly old.

What it is used for

  • libido – weak evidence, few good-quality studies
  • fatigue and mental performance – weak, mostly traditional use

Forms and how they differ

1:3 tincture

alcohol-based liquid extract; dose in drops per label

powder or capsules

dried bark, active content not standardised

When to take it

In the morning or afternoon, with food.

Pairs well with

Often with damiana or maca in herbal blends.

Do not combine / separate

Do not combine with other stimulating herbs at high doses.

Watch out for

Be careful with high blood pressure and heart disease; tinctures contain alcohol. During pregnancy or breastfeeding, with kidney or liver disease, or when taking medicines, consult your doctor.

Safety

Safety data are limited. Do not exceed the label dose.

Practical tip

If you avoid alcohol, choose capsules instead of a tincture.
