Summarized Description: Hercampuri is one of our traditionals. The entire plant has a common set of medicinal properties, and although many internet vendors have been promoting its ability to control appetite and help with weight loss, it has been appreciated in the Andes, long before the Incas, for its other benefits.
Besides weight loss, it has strong liver supportive / protective abilities. It's only downside is its bitter taste, since many of its medicinal components (eritaurina, coumarin, anthracite, tannins, triterpenoids, etc.) are natural "bitters." Most users of hercampuri tea have to use a strong sweetener (i.e. sugar, honey, panella, stevia) to help mask the flavor. Others will only take it in capsule or tablet form.



Hercampuri Capsules: User Instructions
Take one capsule, morning and evening. (Two capsules per day). . . . or as prescribed by your health care practitioner.
