Guava (Psidium guajava) is a tropical fruit that provides vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants. The fruit is commonly eaten fresh, and guava leaf extract is traditionally used for digestive support.
Eating guava adds to your daily nutrient intake. Guava leaf tea or extract has a traditional use for occasional digestive discomfort, but clinical evidence is limited.
There is no standard dosage. Usage varies by form: fresh fruit, juice, leaf tea, or powdered extract. Pregnant or nursing individuals should stay with food amounts unless a clinician advises otherwise.
