About Red Kwao Krua (Butea superba)

Butea superba is a woody climbing plant belonging to the pea and bean family, Fabaceae. It is native to parts of Southeast and South Asia, where it occurs in deciduous and mixed woodland habitats. The vine is known for its vivid orange-red flowers, while its underground system develops enlarged tubers that have traditionally been the main part of the plant collected for herbal preparations.

Red Kwao Krua is botanically distinct from White Kwao Krua (Pueraria mirifica), although both plants have an established place in Thai traditional herbal culture.

Traditional and Cultural Background

The roots and tubers of Butea superba have been used traditionally in Thailand, particularly in preparations associated with adult men’s health and general vitality. Traditional methods have included boiling the plant material to produce a decoction or incorporating it into herbal tonics.

Historical use does not necessarily establish modern medical effectiveness. Contemporary research into Butea superba is still developing, and evidence regarding its potential effects in humans remains limited.

Naturally Occurring Compounds

The root tubers of Butea superba contain a variety of naturally occurring plant constituents, including:

• Flavonoids, including compounds such as butein
• Isoflavones and related phenolic compounds
• Phytosterols, including beta-sitosterol and campesterol
• Tannins and resinous constituents

The precise chemical profile can vary according to factors such as geographical origin, cultivation conditions, harvesting and extraction methods.

25x Extraction

A 25x concentration indicates that approximately 25 g of dried Butea superba root material has been processed to produce around 1 g of extract. The resulting powder therefore contains a more concentrated amount of botanical material by weight than the original dried root.

The stated extraction ratio should not be interpreted as a measure of pharmacological potency. Actual constituent levels may differ between batches depending on the source material and manufacturing process.
