Pau d'Arco 500mg - Agora Alimentos

Pau d'Arco has antioxidant properties and supports the growth of healthy cells. Pau d'Arco is obtained from the inner bark of a tree, Tabebuia heptaphylla, and is native to the tropical forests of South America, particularly in countries such as Peru, Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil. Its main active ingredients are naphthoquinone derivatives and flavonoids. Pau d'Arco has been extensively studied in recent decades for its therapeutic properties. Flavonoids confer antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action. Naphthoquinone derivatives, especially lapachol, have anti-inflammatory, antiviral, diuretic, immune-stimulating, and antiparasitic properties. It is particularly beneficial in the treatment of candidiasis (an infection caused by the fungus Candida albicans) and respiratory inflammation. Due to its properties, Pau d'Arco is indicated for cases of ulcers, gastritis, dysentery (a bacterial infection of the intestines that causes diarrhea with blood or mucus), and diabetes; as a depurative, hypotensive, and antitumor agent.
