Mimosa Hostilis Inner Root Bark (MHRB) – Powder

We offer Mimosa Hostilis inner root bark from a reputed source (Brazil), a company that has years of experience in harvesting and processing Mimosa Hostilis root bark. We believe that this is the best quality Mimosa available on the market. We always offer a freshly harvested batch, not an old stock!

Our supplier is using sustainable harvesting methods – only one root is harvested from each plant.
The greedy suppliers however are willing to kill a whole tree for all its roots.

The pastures where our harvest comes from do not receive any chemical pesticides as the grass and herbs grow naturally during the rainy season and pests are naturally controlled by the six-month dry period. Also during processing no chemicals, in fact, no product at all is used.

The cleaned inner root bark is transported in boxes to the clean glass greenhouse which is well closed to avoid contamination of the product. The bark dries at 70% of shade for a few days and is ground in clean machines to a fine powder, then filtered to remove the filler fibers and packed quickly in plastic bags.

The fine logistic system of harvesting and processing small quantities a few times a week enables us to preserve well the functional components of the bark. By removing the filler fibers the final product becomes 30% more concentrated, so our product is in fact 130% pure inner root bark compared to many other sources.
