Taheebo is a large genus of tropical trees that grows worldwide. It has a hard, durable, and attractive wood that is extremely resistant to insect and fungal attack. The tree grows widely throughout tropical South America, including Brazil, Paraguay, and northern Argentina. The commercial product is derived from the inner bark.

No toxicology has been reported for either the bark extract or its main constituents.
There are no reported serious side effects.

Taheebo bark has been used as an alternative cancer treatment. However, there are no clinical studies to support a specific dose.
