Maytenus and its traditional use

Maytenus (genus Maytenus, family Celastraceae)

Maytenus is a shrub or small tree of the Amazon rainforest, several species of which are used in traditional South American medicine. The leaves contain triterpene acids (maytenic acid, celastrolic acid), tannins, essential oils, resins, iron, sulfur, and calcium. Traditional Amazonian medicine uses it primarily to support digestive comfort, especially after hearty meals. These properties are based exclusively on traditional use; no health claims are authorized in Europe for maytenus, and this supplement is not a substitute for medical treatment.
