Purchase a one pound package of Raintree's sustainably harvested pure tayuya root powder (Cayaponia tayuya)—rich in active and beneficial phytochemicals that occur naturally in this plant. Tayuya is phytochemically rich in flavones, glucosides, and cucurbitacin triterpenes. Almost every species in the huge Cucurbitaceae family is documented to contain cucurbitacin compounds—many of which evidence biological activity.* Novel cucurbitacins have been discovered in tayuya and named cayaponosides (24 distinct cayaponosides have been discovered thus far). This plant has been milled into a fine powder which is suitable to stuff into capsules or to prepare your own teas, tinctures or extracts. Raintree's tayuya has been sustainably wild-harvested in the Amazon rainforest (without any pesticides or fertilizers). To see pictures of tayuya, click here.
