Cha de Bugre Dry Extract 4:1 is a concentrated botanical ingredient produced from Cha de Bugre plant material. The 4:1 ratio means that four parts of the original botanical material are used to produce approximately one part of dry extract, according to the applicable production specification.
The extract is converted into a dry powder through spray drying. Therefore, it provides a convenient format for dry blending, transportation, storage and industrial formulation.
Product information:
Cha de Bugre Leaf Powder is produced from dried and milled leaves of Cordia salicifolia Cham. It retains the natural characteristics of the botanical material and offers a less concentrated alternative to the 4:1 extract.
The leaf powder can be evaluated for herbal infusions, tea blends, capsules and powdered botanical formulations. Buyers should confirm the required particle size and technical specifications before ordering.
Product information:
The two Cha de Bugre products meet different formulation requirements.
Cha de Bugre Dry Extract 4:1 provides a concentrated, spray-dried format. It can be considered for formulations where reduced ingredient volume, easy dry blending and a concentrated botanical format are important.
Cha de Bugre Leaf Powder is the directly milled leaf material. It is suitable for herbal teas, botanical blends and formulations designed to contain a recognizable plant powder.
Product developers should select the appropriate option based on the intended application, processing method, serving format and regulations of the destination country.
Cha de Bugre has a long history of use in Brazilian herbal traditions. It has traditionally been prepared as an infusion and has been associated with appetite-management, diuretic and weight-management preparations.
However, traditional use does not prove a medical effect. Scientific evidence remains limited, and results obtained from laboratory or animal studies cannot establish the same benefits in humans.
A published animal study investigated dried Cordia salicifolia leaves. Under the tested conditions, the researchers did not confirm anti-obesity, appetite-suppressant or diuretic effects. An effect involving lipid-related measurements was observed in rats, but this result does not establish a human health benefit.
Read the complete study through Scientific Electronic Library Online—SciELO.
A phytochemical investigation of Cordia salicifolia leaves identified compounds in a nonpolar leaf extract, including spathulenol. The reported activity in the specific laboratory test was weak.
Read the study abstract in the PubMed scientific database.
Other preliminary research has evaluated Cordia salicifolia extracts in experimental models. These findings require further investigation and must not be interpreted as proof that Cha de Bugre treats, prevents or cures a disease.

Depending on the intended market and applicable regulations, Cha de Bugre may be described as:
All health statements, labels and advertising claims must comply with the laws of the country where the finished product will be sold.
Cha de Bugre Leaf Powder can be incorporated into single-herb products or combined with other botanicals. The final particle size, filtration system and preparation instructions should be established by the finished-product company.
Cha de Bugre Dry Extract 4:1 may be evaluated for powdered botanical drinks. Formulators should test its taste, color, dispersibility, sedimentation and compatibility with other ingredients.
Both products may be evaluated for encapsulated botanical formulations. The concentrated extract can be selected when reduced ingredient volume is important. Leaf powder provides a direct milled botanical format.
The spray-dried extract may be tested in tablet formulations. Product developers must evaluate flow, compression, stability and compatibility with the selected excipients.
Cha de Bugre Leaf Powder may be combined with other herbs in infusion blends. Developers should evaluate flavor balance, aroma, particle size and filtration performance.
Cha de Bugre may be considered for botanical food concepts where local regulations permit its use. Regulatory status, safety, stability and sensory characteristics must be assessed before commercialization.
The two formats allow development teams to compare a concentrated spray-dried extract with a traditional milled leaf powder.
The following concepts are intended as starting points for professional product development. They are not medical prescriptions or finalized consumption instructions.
Ingredients:
Preparation:
Place the selected botanical material inside a suitable tea filter. Add hot water and allow it to infuse. Filter carefully before serving.
The exact amount and infusion time should be determined according to the particle size, flavor profile, product specification and regulations of the target market.
Ingredients:
Preparation:
Prepare small development batches using different proportions. Evaluate the aroma, bitterness, color and filtration performance of each sample.
Confirm the identity, quality and permitted use of every ingredient before producing the commercial blend.
Ingredients:
Preparation:
Begin with laboratory-scale trials. Add the extract gradually and test flavor, dispersibility, color, stability and sedimentation.
A qualified formulator should establish the final ingredient amount and serving instructions.
Ingredients:
Preparation:
Evaluate bulk density, moisture, flow and filling performance. Determine the final formula only after reviewing the ingredient specification, safety requirements and applicable regulations.
Ingredients:
Preparation:
Blend the botanical materials in small test batches. Adjust the proportions until the desired aroma and flavor are obtained.
Test the final blend for moisture, microbiological quality, uniformity and shelf stability before commercial production.
Before purchasing Cha de Bugre ingredients, importers should confirm:
Product specifications may vary according to the batch or commercial agreement. Buyers should base purchasing and formulation decisions on the current specification and batch documents supplied by Prover Brasil.
