More information about Pau d'Arco 1000mg 120 Capsules - Dr Mercola
Dr. Mercola’s Pau D’Arco 1000 mg (120 capsules) is a thoughtfully formulated dietary supplement centering on purity, simplicity, and ingredient integrity. Each bottle provides a two-month supply when taken as directed, with 120 easy-to-swallow, vegetarian-friendly capsules enclosed in a protective amber container designed to preserve freshness and integrity.
At its core is Pau D’Arco, derived exclusively from the mature inner bark of the Pink Lapacho tree (Tabebuia avellanedae). This deliberate choice ensures that only the highest-quality portion of the bark is used—unlike many formulations that include both inner and outer bark or even dead wood, which may dilute the potency and consistency of the final product.
Each daily serving consists of two capsules delivering 1000 mg of Pau D’Arco inner bark, measured with precision for uniformity across every batch. A small amount of calcium (30mg) is included, typically derived from dietary sources, to support the encapsulation process
The capsules are made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)—a plant-based alternative to gelatin—ensuring compatibility with vegetarian and vegan preferences . Additional excipients include microcrystalline cellulose, medium chain triglycerides (MCT), and organic rice hull, all chosen for their clean-label profiles and formulation stability .
Dr. Mercola’s formula avoids unnecessary additives—there are no common allergens like gluten, soy, or genetically modified ingredients . It reflects a commitment to transparency, simplicity, and high-quality sourcing.
The bottle includes a safety seal, offering reassurance that the product has not been tampered with and arrives in its intended state. Designed not only to store the capsules safely but also to protect from light and environmental exposure, it supports long-term stability. The minimalist packaging underscores the brand’s focus on functionality and purity.
The use of Pau D’Arco draws on a long cultural history of using the Pink Lapacho tree bark, yet in this formula, modern production practices are applied to ensure consistency, quality, and reliability in every batch.
