Pau D'Arco 120c by Dr. Mercola – Botanical Wellness Inner Bark Capsules
Pau D'Arco capsules by Dr. Mercola provide a single-herb supplement made from the inner bark of the Pink Lapacho tree. This 120-capsule formula uses Tabebuia heptaphylla inner bark rather than a combination of inner and outer bark, making the plant part an important distinction when comparing products.
Each two-capsule serving supplies 1,000 mg of bark. The formula is an option for adults seeking traditional botanical supplementation without a multi-herb blend. Pau d'Arco is also known as lapacho or taheebo, but those common names alone do not identify the species, plant part, or preparation in another supplement.
Key Pau D'Arco 120c Benefits
- Provides a focused single-herb formula for adults who want to include Pau d'Arco in a practitioner-guided botanical routine.
- Uses the tree's inner bark, keeping the selected plant material distinct from products that combine inner and outer bark.
- Offers clearly identified botanical supplementation without combining several herbs, making it easier to review this ingredient alongside an existing supplement plan.
How Pau D'Arco 120c Works
This inner bark supplement delivers the botanical material in capsules, rather than requiring the preparation of a bark tea. A capsule serving and a tea are different preparations; their amounts and directions should not be used interchangeably. The label identifies the amount of whole botanical material, not a standardized dose of an isolated compound.
For this formula, understanding the preparation is more useful than assuming all Pau d'Arco products work alike. The named species, inner bark, and serving amount describe what you are taking. They do not establish an individual response or justify promises about energy, blood sugar, immunity, or cellular aging. Choose this product for its specific botanical composition, not as a substitute for medical care.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Pau d'Arco (Tabebuia heptaphylla) Inner Bark: Supplies the plant material used in this traditional herbal preparation. The inner bark contains a mixture of naturally occurring plant constituents rather than one isolated nutrient. Its 1,000 mg serving describes bark weight; it should not be interpreted as a measured amount of any individual constituent or a guaranteed physiological effect.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pau D'Arco 120c
What are the benefits of Pau D'Arco 120c?
Pau D'Arco 120c provides a focused way to include this traditional botanical in an adult supplement routine. Dr. Mercola uses Tabebuia heptaphylla inner bark, with 1,000 mg in each two-capsule serving. Its defining attributes are the selected plant part and single-herb composition. These attributes help distinguish it from bark teas, extracts, and multi-herb formulas, but they do not guarantee improvements in energy, immunity, or other health outcomes.
Who should take Pau D'Arco 120c?
This formula is intended for adults considering Pau d'Arco with guidance appropriate to their health history. It is not a children's supplement, and its inner bark ingredient deserves the same medication review as other botanicals. Adults take two capsules twice daily according to the label. Anyone who is pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or managing a medical condition should consult a physician first. Do not use this product with anticoagulants or a blood coagulation condition.
Are there any side effects of taking Pau D'Arco 120c?
Pau d'Arco can cause nausea, vomiting, or urine discoloration and may increase bleeding risk with anticoagulant or antiplatelet medicines. The manufacturer says not to use this product with anticoagulants or a blood coagulation condition. The label states: KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DO NOT USE IF SAFETY SEAL IS BROKEN. IF YOU ARE NURSING, PREGNANT, HAVE A BLOOD COAGULATION OR OTHER MEDICAL CONDITION, OR ARE TAKING MEDICATION SUCH AS ANTICOAGULANTS, CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE TAKING THIS PRODUCT.
How does Pau D'Arco 120c support overall health?
Pau D'Arco 120c belongs in the category of traditional botanical supplementation, rather than essential vitamins or minerals needed to meet a daily nutritional requirement. The capsules deliver inner bark from a specifically named tree species. Whether this botanical fits your overall health plan depends on your goals, medicines, and medical history. A balanced diet and appropriate care remain the foundation; the bark amount alone does not establish a particular wellness outcome for an individual.
