Buy Muira Puama Herb: Take That Natural Approach

By Marcus Harrison

Muira Puama, whose name means "potency wood" in the language of the indigenous tribes of the Amazon, is a shrub that grows wild throughout most of the Amazon basin. Muira Puama, which is one of the primary ingredients in the herbal male enhancement product Extagen, has been used by indigenous people to treat a wide range of disorders, ranging from neuromuscular issues to sexual dysfunction in both men and women.

Muira puama is a bush / small tree up to 5 meters in height and produces pungent flowers with a jasmine like fragrance.

Muira Puama is usually prepared by treating the barks and roots of the shrub in order to extract the active ingredients. The precise mechanisms by which Muira Puama affects the body are not clearly understood.

Murapuama has been used as a herb in Europe for some time and is listed in the British Herbal Pharmacopoeia, a source on herbal medicine from the British Herbal Medicine Association, and is recommended for the treatment of dysentery and impotence.

Preliminary research indicates one of the best herbs to use for erectile dysfunction or lack of libido may be Muira puama (also known as potency wood). This shrub is native to Brazil and has long been used as a powerful aphrodisiac and nerve stimulant i n South American folk medicine. A recent study has validated its safety and effectiveness in improving libido and sexual function in some patients.

For example, Muira Puama has been extensively studied by the Sexology Institute of Paris, France. A high percentage of participants in scientifically controlled case studies reported that taking Muira Puama extract was highly effective in increasing erectile efficiency and libido.

At a daily dose of 1 to 1.5 grams of the extract (4:1), 62% of patients with loss of libido claimed that the treatment had dynamic effect while 5 1% of patients with "erection failures" felt that Muira puama was of benefit. These results are extremely promising and seem to indicate that Muira puama may provide better results than yohimbine without side effects.

Muira Puama, one of the primary ingredients in Extagen, has a long history of use in treating sexual dysfunction by indigenous tribes in the Amazon basin. While only a relatively recent discovery in the west, Muira Puama has quickly become one of the top herbal supplements used in the treatment of erectile issues. - 14130
