Pau D’Arco [Immune] bark comes from a tree that grows primarily in Argentina and Brazil. The tree is known as taheebo. Unlike other trees in its midst, pau d’arco does not develop fungus growth. It contains a chemical called lapachol, which may account for the herb’s ability to strengthen and support the immune system. Pau d’arco also helps build blood, supports detoxification and helps maintain a healthy circulatory system. Nature’s Sunshine’s pau d’arco comes from Brazil. It is available in a variety of forms, including capsules, bulk for tea, liquid extract and soothing lotion. Each capsule contains 500 mg pau d’arco. Take 2 capsules with a meal three times daily.
