Ibogaine HCL

Ibogaine hydrochloride (Ibogaine HCL) is used in the treatment of addiction. Ibogaine hydrochloride is a naturally-occurring compound extracted from the root of the Tabernanthe iboga shrub native to Africa. Ibogaine hydrochloride is used to flush toxins (such as opiates and other drugs) from the body, and help dramatically reduce the uncomfortable symptoms associated with physical withdrawal from addiction.

Ibogaine hydrochloride is extracted from the root of the Iboga root bark. Contained in the second layer of the bark are approximately 12 different alkaloids. The three most prominent alkaloids that are extracted include: Ibogaine, Ibogamine, and Iboagline.

Classifications of Ibogaine
There are three distinct grades of Ibogaine that are used, with the differences in each depending upon the number of impurities that remain in the chemical compound after extraction. The three classes of Iboga include:
Total Alkaloids Extract: This is the most basic category of extracted Ibogaine. Total alkaloids extract (TA) is extracted from the root, but does not undergo any purification process. It is approximately 15-35 percent Ibogaine. It can vary in composition due to extraction from several alternate sources.

Purified Total Extracts: Purified total extracts (PTA) takes total alkaloid extracts (TA) through another level of purification. It contains 40-85 percent Ibogaine and less of an array of other components.
(HCL) is the third grade of Ibogaine and is what is most often used as an addiction treatment. It goes through a distinct purification process using hydrochloride that removes several impurities and other substances. Ibogaine hydrochloride contains approximately 85-99 percent pure Ibogaine.
