Now Foods Pau D'Arco – 500 mg inner bark in a vegetable capsule

Now Foods Pau D'Arco is a food supplement providing 500 mg of ground pau d'arco inner bark in each vegetable capsule. Two capsules contain a total of 1 g (1,000 mg) and the maximum daily dose of four capsules contains 2 g of inner bark powder. The bottle contains 100 capsules, which makes 50 servings of two capsules; at the maximum daily dose, one pack lasts for 25 days. The product contains dried and ground bark in the form in which it is obtained from the tree: it is not an extract and has no standardised content of any compound. Besides the bark, the capsule contains only a vegetable capsule shell and a small amount of bulking agent, so the composition is simple and clear. The capsules contain no animal ingredients.

What is pau d'arco?

Pau d'arco is the common name for the inner bark of South American trees of the genus Tabebuia. These broadleaf trees are native to the Amazon rainforest region. To make the food supplement, the inner layer of the bark is dried and ground into a fine powder. According to the EU label, the country of origin of the bark used in this product is Brazil, and the brand is NOW Foods. The bark powder is brownish and, because it is a natural raw material, the colour of the capsule contents may vary somewhat from batch to batch, which does not affect product quality. Powder packed in capsules is convenient to dose and needs no preparation, unlike tea brewed from the bark.

How to use?

Take 2 capsules 1 to 2 times a day as needed. Swallow the capsules with a glass of water or another drink. The maximum daily amount is therefore 4 capsules, or 2 g of inner bark. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. If you use other herbal food supplements, keep in mind that they may contain the same ingredients. After opening, close the bottle tightly and store it in a cool, dry place.
