Our Story

Where Science Meets
Ancient Wisdom

Iboga Culture was founded by a multidisciplinary team of pharmacologists, ethnobotanists and sustainability specialists united by a single conviction: that the Tabernanthe iboga plant deserves rigorous scientific stewardship, not just cultural reverence.

Mission & Vision

Bridging Traditional Knowledge and Pharmaceutical Precision

We exist at the intersection of ethnobotany and analytical chemistry. Every compound we produce is traceable from its source community in Central Africa to the analytical report that accompanies it to your laboratory or practice.

Our European base allows us to operate under some of the world's most rigorous regulatory frameworks, ensuring that quality is never a compromise — it is the foundation.

Integrity — Full chain-of-custody documentation on every batch
Rigour — Third-party HPLC analysis, no exceptions
Sustainability — Fair-trade sourcing, certified harvest quotas
Respect — Revenue sharing with source communities

Amara Diallo

Sustainable Sourcing — Libreville

Born in Gabon, Amara manages our relationships with three traditional Bwiti communities and oversees ethical harvest quotas and revenue-sharing agreements.

Ethical Sourcing

From Gabon to Your Laboratory

Every gram of iboga material we handle originates from three partner communities in Gabon and Cameroon, harvested under supervised quotas to protect wild populations.

  • Supervised Wild Harvest

    Harvest volumes are capped annually, with root-to-bark ratios monitored to ensure plant regeneration.

  • CITES Documentation

    All exports carry full CITES Appendix II permits and traceable batch numbers tied to specific harvest sites.

  • Community Revenue Sharing

    15% of net revenue from each batch is returned directly to the source community through a transparent fund.
