Muira Puama (Ptychopetalum olacoides)

Muira Puama (Ptychopetalum olacoides) is a tropical tree belonging to the Olacaceae family and native to the Guianas and northern Brazil. It naturally occurs in humid tropical environments, particularly as part of the understory vegetation of Amazonian rainforests and high forests on non-flooded soils. The plant has a long history in the traditional cultures of the Amazon region, where its roots and bark have been valued as part of local herbal traditions.

Description of the Plant

Ptychopetalum olacoides is a distinctive evergreen tree that can grow approximately 5–15 metres tall, with exceptional specimens reaching even greater heights. Its trunk is characteristically grooved, while the branches bear elongated, lance-shaped leaves with a firm, slightly leathery texture.

The plant produces small clusters of delicate white flowers. The petals are elongated and fine, with a characteristic folded appearance. After flowering, the tree develops oblong to ellipsoid fruits that change in colour as they mature, from green to pinkish and eventually purplish-black.

Muira Puama is also known under traditional names such as muirapuama and marapuama. The name Muira Puama is particularly associated with the roots and bark of the plant and its long-standing history in Amazonian herbal traditions.

This extract of Ptychopetalum olacoides 10:1 is a finely processed botanical extract available in sizes from 5 g to 100 g. Its distinctive botanical origin, characteristic appearance and rich cultural history make it an interesting addition to any botanical or herbal collection.
