CHAPARRRAL

The most successful plant in the deserts of the Western Hemisphere', chaparral’s medicinal properties are evidenced by the long traditional usage by Native American tribes to treat a vast array of conditions including bowel, skin, and lung conditions. Also known as creosote, greasewood and gobernadora, this hardy desert shrub dominates its environment and can live for more than 10,000 years.

NDGA (Nordihydroguaiaretic acid) is the main metabolite of chaparral, and has a unique array of antiviral, antifungal, antineoplastic, and antioxidant properties. Chaparral is the most abundant natural source of NDGA in the world.
