Catuaba (Trichillia catigua) has a long history of use in herbal medicine as an aphrodisiac. Numerous songs have been written in South America praising the wonders and abilities of Catuaba. In Brazil there is a popular saying, "Until a father reaches 60, the son is his; after that, the son is Catuaba's!" These capsules are filled by hand with a manual encapsulation machine, not with a high speed automatic machine, and thus, only pure, unadulterated Catuaba Extract is in the capsules. Capsules produced with high speed machines in herbal remedy and vitamin "factories" contain several other ingredients, including preservatives because so many bottles of product are produced at one time, and lubricants to ensure that the machines will run faster and more efficiently. Check their labels! Also, Barlowe's Herbal Elixirs is one of the very few manufacturers that still pack their products in glass whenever possible, even though glass is more expensive.  Barlowe believes that chemicals can leach out of plastic containers and contaminate the contents, and that the use of glass is much better for the environment. In Brazilian herbal medicine, Catuaba is considered a central nervous system stimulant with aphrodisiac properties. It is generally prescribed for sexual weakness in both men and women, agitation, depression, nervousness, nerve pain, and poor memory.  In Brazil, Catuaba is widely sold in a variety of products as a sexual stimulant for both men and women, generally in combination with the herb Muira Puama (also available in potent extract form from Barlowe's Herbal Elixirs). There is no evidence of bad side-effects. In 1992, a Japanese study showed that Catuaba had potential anti-bacterial and anti-HIV activity, indicating that it could prevent certain infections in people with HIV and others with immunity deficiencies. It also helps dilate and strengthen the arteries - improving circulation, and prevents inflammation, which is helpful for people with cardiac problems.
