Raintree's Carqueja has been wild harvested in the Brazilian Amazon and is processed without chemicals or irraditation. Click here to learn more about our rainforest wild harvesing methods.
Raintree Nutrition's Concentrated Carqueja Extract uses new and proprietary extraction methods to concentrate and preserve the active ingredients found in this wonderful plant. Concentration and extraction methods provide the equivalent of 500 mg carqueja leaf and stem (Baccharis genistelloides) per milliliter of extract. Carqueja is a rich source of flavonoids. Certain flavonoids, such as silymarin in milk thistle, have shown liver-protective properties and are used for many liver conditions in herbal medicine systems.* Carqueja is rather like the South American version of milk thistle. It contains up to 20% flavonoids, including quercetin, luteolin, nepetin, apigenin, and hispidulin. The flavonoids are considered carqueja's main active constituents.
Traditional Uses:* for digestive disorders (ulcers, gastroenteritis, acid reflux, and ileocecal valve disorders) and to slow digestion; to tone, balance, and strengthen liver function (also to eliminate liver flukes, increase liver bile and to remove toxins from the liver); for gallbladder disorders (stones, pain, lack of bile, sluggish action, toxin build-up); as a detoxifier (blood, liver, gallbladder, pancreas); for viral infections (stomach viruses, HIV, herpes simplex)

Contraindications:
* Not to be used during pregnancy as carqueja has demonstrated uterine stimulant and abortive effects in rats.
* The use of this plant is contraindicated in persons with low blood pressure due to its documented hypotensive effects.
* Carqueja has been documented to lower blood glucose levels in human and animal studies. As such, it is contraindicated in persons with hypoglycemia. Diabetics should monitor their blood sugar levels more closely if they use carqueja.
Drug Interactions: None reported, however, it may increase the effect of diabetic and antihypertensive drugs.
Other Practitioner Observations:
* Carqueja has demonstrated antihepatotoxic (liver detoxifying) effects in animal studies. As such, it may speed the clearance of some drugs metabolized in the liver (decrease the half-life), thereby reducing the pharmacological effect (and/or side effects) of certain drugs required to be metabolized in the liver.
