South American Cha' de Bugre

The soft green leaves of this small rainforest tree are nutritious and when boiled in water it yields a host of powerful phytochemicals.

In Brazil, the land where bikinis rule, Cha' de Bugre is hailed as the #1 weight loss supplement. Cha' de Bugre has many properties and traditional applications in common with Ephedra, but unlike Ephedra, it has a positive impact on the heart. Brazilians have long enjoyed this dynamic tea, praising it's abilities to suppress appetite, burn cellulite and prevent fatty deposits.

Brazilians also utilize Cha' de Bugre to help relieve coughs, support renal function, reduce uric acid and even apply it externally to heal wounds.
