Mulungu Extract | Erythrina mulungu

Concentrated Erythrina Mulungu in Liquid Form

This Mulungu extract captures the bark and leaf alkaloids of Erythrina mulungu, a striking rainforest tree native to Brazil that grows up to 14 metres tall. With its vivid red-orange flowers and wide canopy, the Mulungu tree stands out in the Amazonian landscape. Indigenous communities in the Amazon basin have incorporated Mulungu bark and leaf preparations into their plant traditions for generations, making it one of the more distinctive South American botanicals available today.

Botanical Background and Alkaloid Profile

The Erythrina genus contains a class of alkaloids known as erythrinan alkaloids, which have drawn sustained interest from ethnobotanical researchers. The bark is particularly rich in these compounds, with erythravine and erysothrine among the most studied. Traditional Amazonian herbalists prepare Mulungu from both the bark and leaves, and this liquid extract mirrors that approach by concentrating the full phytochemical profile through careful extraction.

Unlike many tinctures on the market, Mulungu extract occupies a niche that few competitors can replicate. The tree itself is not widely cultivated outside South America, keeping supply chains specialised and the product genuinely distinctive.

Stocking Liquid Extracts

Liquid tinctures are among the most accessible formats for customers exploring ethnobotanical products for the first time. Mulungu extract pairs naturally with other South American botanicals in your tinctures and extracts selection, such as Bobinsana and Copaiba. The compact bottle format takes minimal shelf space while offering healthy margins. Store below 25°C, away from direct sunlight.
