Buy Desmodium – Extracts & Powder from the West African Herb
Desmodium (Desmodium adscendens) is a herbaceous plant from the legume family (Fabaceae) that grows mainly in the tropical regions of West and Central Africa as well as South America. Traditionally, the above-ground herb is used and processed into extracts. In this category, you'll find Desmodium products from Scheunengut – vegan, bottled in Germany and lab-tested.
