NOW sip a cup of tea and FIGHT with AIDS!!

The tea used by tribal healers on the South Pacific island of Samoa to treat hepatitis contains the compound prostratin, extracted from the bark of the mamala tree. Scientists have found a way to isolate the compound and synthesise it so it is 100 times more potent.

The new version of prostratin shows promise in laboratory tests for both preventing HIV from infecting human cells and awakening dormant HIV viruses that are hiding inside human latently infected cells.
