For centuries, Gou Teng (Uncaria rhynchophylla) has held a place in Traditional Chinese Medicine as a calming, protective herb for the nervous system and cardiovascular system. Not to be confused with the Peruvian Uncaria tomentosa also sold as "Cat's Claw," this Chinese species has its own distinct research history centered on its alkaloid content — particularly rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline.

Our tincture is crafted exclusively from the claw (hook) of Uncaria rhynchophylla — the traditionally prized and pharmacopoeia-recognized part of the plant — using a dual-extraction process to capture both water-soluble and alcohol-soluble compounds.
