Its ingredients

Graviola or soursop (Annona muricata), leaf, 800 mg per serving. Soursop is a perennial tree that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) PLANTS database places in the custard-apple family (Annonaceae) and lists as native to Puerto Rico. The panel calls it only «Graviola (leaf)»; Annona muricata is the species that database links to soursop. This bottle uses the leaf, not the fruit: 800 mg in each 2-capsule serving, or 400 mg per capsule (our math). The panel marks it with «**», meaning it has no established daily value.

Anamu (Petiveria alliacea), leaf, 200 mg per serving. Anamu is a perennial herb or subshrub that the same USDA database places in the pokeweed family (Phytolaccaceae) and lists as native to Puerto Rico; its common name there is «guinea henweed». This bottle uses the leaf: 200 mg per serving, or 100 mg per capsule (our math). It has no established daily value either. Both leaves go together in the same capsule, at 4 parts graviola to 1 part anamu (our math: 800 divided by 200).

Other ingredients. Gelatin, which makes up the capsule, and magnesium stearate. The label lists them separately as «Other Ingredients»; they are not active ingredients.
