Muira Puama 1100 mg 90 Capsules

What is Muira Puama?

Muira puama or potency wood (Ptychopetalum olacoides) is a species of small trees native to the Amazon rainforest of Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, and Suriname.

Health Benefits of Muira Puama
Muira Puama promotes brain development and healing, decreases stress, body fat percentage, cholesterol, and aids in sexual performance.

1) Improve Sexual Health of Man and Woman
Muira puama increased sexual desire in 60% of men with initial low libido and improved erectile function in 50% of men with a poor erection. Muira puama also improved sexual desire, sexual fantasies, and the ability to reach orgasm in 65% of women with sexual dysfunctions.

Moreover, muira puama increases libido.

2) May Help To Stop the Progression of Alzheimer’s Disease
Muira puama is considered a “brain tonic” and protects the brain in Alzheimer’s.

In mice models of Alzheimer’s, muira puama extract helped with:

Preventing cognitive impairment
Decreasing brain amyloid plaque deposits
Decreasing hippocampal (brain memory center) loss caused by amyloid plaques
Inhibiting enzymes that break down acetylcholine in the brain (hippocampus and striatum), similar to how Alzheimer’s treatments work

3) Can Enhance Memory
Muira puama improved memory retrieval without interfering with acquisition or consolidation in mice. Old mice given muira puama exhibited more memory improvement than young mice without muira puama.

Muira puama also restored memory in mice with brain damage.

Moreover, muira puama + a 5-HT2A blocker is as effective as two blockers, which is the treatment used to enhance memory consolidation.

4) Promotes the Growth of Neurons Which Can Help with Memory and Learning Processes
In cell-based studies, some constituents of muira puama (ptychonal hemiacetal and ptychonal) promoted the growth of neurons by increasing NGF.

5) May Benefit the Brain by Decreasing Damage to Neurons
In mice, antioxidants from muira puama were able to cross the blood-brain barrier and reduce damaging oxidative stress.

In cell-based studies, muira puama extract protected neurons from oxidative stress induced by lack of glucose and oxygen.

6) Helps with Stress-Induced Depression
Chronic stress can lead to HPA-axis dysfunction, which is often found in depression. In mice, muira puama extract treated stress-induced depression as effectively as an antidepressant (imipramine).

7) Helps with Stress and Anxiety
Stress increases cortisol and blood sugar. Muira puama prevents a stress-induced increase in cortisol and blood glucose in mice.

Dosage: For adults, take 2 capsules three to six times daily, preferably on empty stomach.
