Maratuaba

MARATUABA is a popular combination of two well-known plants from the Brazilian Pharmacopoeia—Marapuama and Catuaba—which support the cardiovascular system by promoting vasodilation (widening of blood vessels) and helping maintain their elasticity. It is used when blood pressure is elevated and for the prevention of serious conditions such as coronary heart disease, its acute form—myocardial infarction—and stroke.
Muira puama acts as an effective neuroprotective agent: it helps protect brain cells (neurons) from damage and supports the quality of nerve impulse transmission. It is also considered one of the few natural remedies that can activate the so-called nerve growth factor in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Muira puama is often used to support cognitive function and to help prevent dementia, including in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.
Muira puama is also known as a mild central nervous system stimulant and is used in cases of increased anxiety, low mood, stress, and sleep disturbances.
These two trees are also used together to boost vitality and libido.
Ingredients Overview 

Muira Puama / Marapuama  (Ptychopetalum olacoides)

Catuaba (Trichilia catigua)

Muira Puama (muira puama), or Marapuama (marapuama), is a small tree that grows in the tropical forests of the Amazon basin. It is also called the “tree of power” because it contains a large number of biologically active substances, including alkaloids (the main one is muirapuamine), esters of triterpene acids and phytosterols, tannins, essential and fatty oils, fatty acids, coumarin, flavonoids, and saponins.

Since ancient times, the indigenous peoples of South America have used Muira Puama to increase physical activity and to address sexual weakness. In Brazilian herbal medicine, Muira Puama has a reputation as a powerful aphrodisiac and is also taken as a tonic to enhance physical and mental performance, especially during periods of stress.

Studying the potential of this plant to treat and improve neurodegenerative conditions, researchers note that its active compounds may have a positive effect on the central nervous system, help reduce depressive states, and provide nootropic, adaptogenic, and neuroprotective effects.
Under the general name Catuaba, several plant species with similar properties—but varying effectiveness—are used in South America. For the production of MARATUABA®, we use Trichilia catigua, a small tree distributed in Bolivia, northern Argentina, and in the cerrado and Atlantic forests of Brazil.
The list of biologically active compounds found in Catuaba includes alkaloids, tannins, and phytosterols, including β-sitosterol; epicatechins (catiguanin A and catiguanin B); and four flavolignans extracted from the bark of T. catigua: cinchonain-Ia, cinchonain-Ib, cinchonain-Ic, and cinchonain-Id.

In North and South America, Catuaba is widely used as a cardiotonic, as a stimulant for mental fatigue, during physical training, and for sleep disturbances, fatigue, and decreased libido. It is noted that under conditions of increased nervous tension, Catuaba acts as an adaptogen, helping improve physical and cognitive functions and stimulating sexual activity.

During studies of the plant, scientists found that an extract prepared from the bark of T. catigua has antidepressant, antioxidant, antinociceptive, and vasorelaxant properties, and that these effects are associated with the release of nitric oxide and nitric oxide–derived compounds.

It is worth noting that nitric oxide is a naturally occurring gas that promotes vascular elasticity and dilation, increases blood oxygenation, helps prevent blood clot formation, and reduces the harmful effects of stress hormones. Nitric oxide has been shown to have a beneficial effect on erectile function and to stimulate testosterone production, which may contribute to muscle growth and improved strength performance during sports.
