What is Butea Superba?

Butea Superba (also known as Red Kwao Krua) is a unique native Thai herb belonging to the Family of Leguminosae, subfamily Papilioneae found in the mountainous forest from the central to northern parts of Thailand. Its yellow/orange flower like appearance makes the plant distinct, growing naturally in the open. Its long roots dig deep into the ground and have a crawling vine characteristic that wraps around other trees. The habitants of these plants are dispersed throughout the region and so far many species have been found. The main ones that Cultivars have studied and selected for the use in commercialization are called Butea I and II.
The roots and stems of the plant can be used for medicinal purposes, in addition to helping the overall health system of the body, both physically and sexually. Through medical research Butea Superba has become known as a type of miracle herb due to its properties as a health supplement, and for male potency issues such as:

• Premature Ejaculation
• Erectile Dysfunction
• Low Libido
• Weak Erection
• Male Impotence

Butea Superba contains flavonoid and flavonoid glycoside that has a strong cAMP phosphodiesterase enzyme inhibitory effect. Its role is to help promote vasolidation or a good blood flow to the penis area resulting in the stimulation of aldosterone male hormones which are vital to blood circulation. Butea Superba mechanism works with the brain rather than that of the vascular system which controls the sexual function.
Therefore, it works naturally within your body to achieve a better blood flow in providing the sexual ability you need to become a natural stud in bed. Upon sexual stimulation the cavernosal nerves releases nitric oxide, which starts the production of Cyclic Guanosine Monphosphate (c GMP), having an expansive and relaxing effect in the cells. The arteries that carry blood to the penis expand in contrast to the smooth muscle relaxation of the corpus cavernosum, resulting in an erection and increased blood flow to the penis. Beneficial effect includes:

• Prolonging premature ejaculation
• Better blood flow to the penis
• Increase in strength and stamina
• More rigid and firm erection
• Increased sex drive

Butea Superba products can be found in both forms of ingestible products, such as a health supplement and a topical application such as a cream or gel cosmetic product.

Clinical Trial Test

There are numerous studies regarding the effects of Butea Superba. One of the renowned local experts in this field is Associate Prof. Vichai Cherdcheewasart, Ph.D. in the department of biology, Faculty of Science, Chulalongkorn University of Bangkok.

Dr Vichai is considered the leading expert regarding Butea Superba in Thailand and the world, devoting 14 years of his life in research. He began his research on Pueraria mirifica in 1991 and soon thereafter on Butea Superba by traveling to rural parts of Thailand in search of, and to select, the best cultivars to grow these herbs. He achieved this by examining botanical characteristics, chemical analysis, consumption history, toxicology testing, as well as laboratory and clinical trials.

Butea Superba promotes and enhances the human health; therefore it is interesting to test its consequential ingredients by separating the chemical properties of the herb.

The bio-activity of each component was tested especially for the inhibitory effect towards cAMP phosphodiesterase, which has an effect in controlling of the body and several diseases. The research was conducted based on the bioactivity of these chemical compounds to show evidence that this herb is actually capable of enhancing the human health as proclaimed.

Research Objective:
To study the bio-activity of Butea Superba, Flavonoid, lavonoidglycoside, and cAMP phosphodiesterase inhibition

After testing the bioactivities of Flavonoid and Flavonoid glycoside, the result was that both of these compounds were effective in inhibiting cAMP phosphodieterase. The result of inhibiting cAMP phosphodiesterase of these compounds were greater than theophylline (IC50 =615 u.g/mL) and caffeine (IC50 = 420 u.g/rnL). The cAMP phosphodiesterase enzyme main function is the hydrolysis of the intracellular cAMP. Therefore, papaverin, dipyridamole, caffeine and theophylline are effective when the cAMP phosphodiesterase is inhibited. Substances that inhibit cAMP phosphodiesterase are capable of stimulating the functions of the central nervous system (CNS) and of the cells. Furthermore, substances that had an effect in inhibiting cAMP phosphodesterase also take part in controlling numerous severe diseases including diabetes, hypertension, asthma, hepatomas, psoriasis and possibly cancer. In addition, substances that inhibit phosphodiesterase also had effect in controlling platelet-aggregation inhibition.

Conclusion:
Butea Superba is composed of substances that are effective in inhibiting the cAMP phosphodieslerase enzyme which are beneficial to the human body. The body will begin to feel and look healthier when this herb is used. It may also help and control the various diseases mentioned above.

The attributes of this herb in improving the male sexual performance is due to the inhibiting of cAMP phosphodiesterase, which in turn has an effect on the aldosterone hormone.
On an interesting note, patients from the clinical trials with additional health problems, such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, heart disease and hyperthyroidism, have responded satisfactorily to Butea Superba herb.­­­­

The clinical evidence helps prove that D-Lay for Men contains the unique and essential ingredients for prolonging ejaculation.
