📋Overview

This botanical is a supplement derived from the fruit and leaves of specific trees within the Cordia genus, most notably Cordia salicifolia and Cordia ecalyculata. Native to Brazil and other parts of South America, it is frequently identified by its small, red fruit that bears a physical resemblance to a coffee bean.

In various commercial contexts, the ingredient is sometimes referred to as "coffee of the woods" or "Brazilian coffee." While it is utilized in various dietary formulations, it remains a plant-based substance primarily recognized for its traditional presence in regional botanical practices.
