Heard about Pao Pereira and wondering how much to take? You're not alone. People use this South American bark extract as a supplement, but the dosing varies a lot between products and studies. This short guide gives practical, no-nonsense advice so you can make smarter choices and stay safe.
There are three common product types: standardized capsules/powder, tinctures (liquid extracts), and raw bark powder. Most commercial capsule supplements fall into a rough range of 100–600 mg per day total. A common starting amount is 100–200 mg once daily. If someone wants to increase, many choose to split the dose into two or three smaller doses (for example, 100 mg twice daily) rather than one large dose.
Tinctures list dose as drops or milliliters. If you see a liquid extract, follow the label, but treat it like a stronger form of the capsule — start low and adjust slowly. Raw bark powders are less predictable because potency varies. If you use powder, look for product information about extract strength or alkaloid content; without that, stick to the lower end of dosing.
Why the wide range? Different manufacturers use different extraction methods and concentrate different compounds. That makes direct comparisons hard. So the safest approach is: check the product label, start low, and watch how you feel.
Human research on Pao Pereira is limited. Lab and animal studies exist, but we don’t have a big pool of high-quality human trials to define a single "correct" dose. That means caution matters more than boldness.

Final practical steps: read the label, start low, split doses if needed, and check with your clinician about interactions with medications. If you want help picking a product or converting tincture drops to capsule equivalents, bring the label to your pharmacist or doctor — they can give quick, specific advice based on the exact product you have.
