Muira Puama

An Amazonian tree bark and root extract, sometimes called ‘potency wood.’

Muira puama is a small tree native to the Brazilian Amazon. Its bark and root have been used in South American traditional medicine for their association with vitality and stamina, earning it the nickname ‘potency wood.’

Modern research on muira puama is limited compared to more widely studied botanicals, but it remains a common ingredient in traditional vitality blends, usually paired with other named extracts rather than used alone.

In VigorHorse, muira puama extract is one of eight ingredients in the formula, included for its traditional role in this category.
