Native to South America, catuaba is a small flowering tree found in the Amazon rainforest. The Tupi people of Brazil were the first to recognize its properties, even composing songs in its honor. Traditionally used for its potential benefits, catuaba bark is commonly used to enhance sexual desire and performance, particularly in men, though it is also believed to support overall sexual well-being in women. Some studies suggest that catuaba may have neuroprotective effects, potentially supporting memory and brain health. It contains flavonoids and alkaloids that may help protect cells from oxidative stress and support the immune system.
