Akuamma seed powder is ideal for encapsulation to avoid the strong bitter taste of Akuamma, though it can be made into a tea or mixed/blended with any favorite drink.  

Dosage is typically 4-8 grams.

Uses: Pain relief, anti-inflammatory, muscle relaxant and anti-diarrheal.

History and Description: Used in West Africa for hundreds of years, Akuamma seeds are a traditional medicine containing akuammine and pericine as well as a number of related minor alkaloids that work as analgesic in pain relief.  Akuamma comes from a small tree that produces a large hard fruit.  The seeds are then removed by hand and sun dried.  Similar to Mitragynine in structure, the alkaloids bind to opioid receptors as potent μ-opioid agonists.

Seeds typically contain about 3.5%-4.8% akuammine.
