Catuaba is known as Erythroxylum Catuaba in Latin, and it’s indigenous to the Amazon rainforest, which is located in the northern part of Brazil. In that part of the world this herb has gained a reputation for being an effective and safe aphrodisiac.

Catuaba is classified as being an aphrodisiac by many experts, while others referred to it as a central nervous system stimulant. In Brazil its bark was used to address a wide range of sexual issues, including impotency, low sex drive and low stamina, but it was also used to address other health issues as well, including anxiety, nervous debility, insomnia, cognitive problems, nerve pain and general weakness.

This extract found its way into the medicinal kits of herbalists in Europe as well, where it was used to increase sexual performance and pleasure, as well as act as a brain and nerve stimulant.

To date, this extract has no reported side effects connected with its use.
