A rare find from Africa!! Tradidtionally used by Zulus to produce clear visions during trance. Come to find out, Synaptolepis kirkii contains Kirkinine, a daphnane orthoester which has potent neurotrophic activity! Neurotrophic compounds can prolong the lives of nerve cells, cause new nerve cells to grow, and even cause nerve cells to modify themselves! In all, there are several neurotrophic compounds in Synaptolepis kirkii which are being investigated. This plant is being heavily researched for its potential in treating those who have suffered brain damage from strokes, heart attacks, or blunt head trauma injuries. It is also being investigated for its potential in healing paralysis. I will post a better description as I have time to write one, I was so excited to be able to offer this material, that I haven't had time to write a formal description =) Limited Supplies on this one folks, VERY hard to get.
