About Simarouba
Simarouba is a tall tree of the wet tropical forest, growing to 35 meters (about 115 feet), from Mexico and the Caribbean through Central America to the Amazon and the Guianas. The trees are either male or female, and the female trees bear clusters of small, fleshy fruits, green ripening to purplish-black, that birds and monkeys eat. Its pale wood, which French speakers call bois blanc, "white wood", is used for furniture.
The bark crossed the Atlantic early: it was first shipped from Guiana to France in 1713, and British and American pharmacy references of the early 1900s still described it as long, fibrous strips with no smell and a strongly bitter taste, used as a bitter and a tonic.* The bitterness comes from naturally occurring quassinoids, among them glaucarubinone. More in our Simarouba herb guide.
Simarouba is also an ingredient in Amazon C-F, N-Tense 2, Amazon A-P, Amazon Bowel Support and Amazon F-Tonic.
