Traditional use
According to the supplier, this Brazilian blend combines five plants: guaraná (Paullinia cupana), suma (Pfaffia paniculata, accepted name Hebanthe erianthos), muira puama (Ptychopetalum olacoides), catuaba (Trichilia catigua) and damiana (Turnera diffusa). Guaraná is grown and processed in traditional ways by the Sateré-Mawé of the central Amazon, and its seeds contain up to about 6% caffeine. In Brazil, several species of Pfaffia and Hebanthe are sold as “Brazilian ginseng”. Muira puama is a small tree of northern Brazil and the Guianas. Several different species are sold under the name catuaba, which leads to confusion. Damiana is among the plants with the strongest aphrodisiac reputation in folk traditions.
| Known compounds | Guaraná: caffeine. Suma: pfaffic acid, mostly as saponins (pfaffosides). Catuaba: cinchonain Ib in the bark. Damiana: flavonoids, including apigenin; no caffeine detected (2026 analysis). |
|---|---|
| Traditional use | Plants of the Amazon, Brazil and Mexico cited in folk traditions, often for an aphrodisiac reputation (review of 74 Brazilian species: Teixeira et al. 2024). |
| State of research | Laboratory and animal studies on each plant; no study consulted on this blend, whose proportions are not given. No health claim is authorised in the EU for these plants. |

Storing your botanicals
Keep dried plants in their tightly closed pouch or in an airtight jar, away from light, moisture and heat. Powders absorb moisture easily, so close them again straight away. For extracts, tinctures and capsules, follow the instructions on the label and the printed date.
Before using a plant
- Keep plants out of the reach of children and pets.
- If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or taking any medication, ask a doctor or pharmacist first: many plants interact with medicines.
- Stop immediately if you have an allergic reaction or feel unwell.
