aintree's macela leaf powder (Achyrocline satureoides) has been milled into a fine powder which is suitable to stuff into capsules or to prepare your own teas, tinctures or extracts. It has been sustainably wild-harvested in the Brazilian Amazon and it is rich in active and beneficial phytochemicals that occur naturally in this plant. Phytochemical analysis of macela, which began in the mid-1980s, shows that it is a rich source of flavonoids—including novel ones never seen before. Many of its active properties are attributed to these flavonoids as well as to other chemicals (called terpenes) isolated in the plant.
