What Is Catuaba Tincture?
Catuaba (Erythroxylum catuaba) is a tree indigenous to the rainforest, with a long history of uses in traditional herbal practices. This liquid extract captures the beneficial compounds of the dried bark through a careful maceration process. Each batch is crafted to preserve the plant's natural profile—alkaloids, flavonoids, and other active constituents—without synthetic additives.
This tincture offers a convenient way to incorporate Catuaba into your daily routine. Simply add drops to water or juice, or take directly under the tongue for rapid absorption.
How Is It Made?
HerbalTerra employs a classic maceration method: the dried bark is steeped in a high-quality menstruum (typically a food-grade alcohol and water blend) for several weeks. This gentle, time-honoured technique ensures that the full spectrum of water-soluble and alcohol-soluble components are extracted. The ratio of dry plant material to menstruum is 1:3, meaning each millilitre of extract corresponds to approximately 330 mg of dried herb. This concentration delivers a potent, reliable product.
All herbs are organically grown, ethically wild harvested, or selectively imported. The extract contains no GMOs, gluten, artificial colours, or preservatives—just herb and menstruum.
How to Uses Catuaba Extract
Since tinctures are concentrated, start with a small dose. A typical serving is 1–2 ml (about 20–40 drops) taken 1–3 times daily. Shake well before uses. You can add it to a glass of water, juice, or take it straight under the tongue for faster absorption. Because the extract contains alcohol, it may have a strong taste; diluting can help.
Always consult a health care professional before adding any new supplement to your regimen, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medication.
