Frequently Asked Questions about Gou Teng Extract
What is Gou Teng (Uncaria rhynchophylla) extract?
Gou Teng extract is a dietary supplement made from the dried hooked stem of Uncaria rhynchophylla, a climbing vine of the madder family (Rubiaceae) that grows curved, hook-like structures along its stems. In traditional Chinese herbalism this hooked stem is known as Gou Teng, which translates as hook vine, and in pharmacy references as Ramulus Uncariae cum Uncis. Our extract is made from the stem of the plant and is offered in two forms: a traditional alcohol-based tincture and an alcohol-free glycerite, each prepared from ethically sourced raw material. This is a whole-stem liquid extract that carries the stem's natural spectrum of constituents - it is not an isolated or standardized single-compound product. We label the product by its botanical name and plant part so it is clear this is Uncaria rhynchophylla, the Chinese Gou Teng, and not another Uncaria species.
What is the difference between the tincture and alcohol-free versions?
Both are liquid extracts of the same Uncaria rhynchophylla hooked stem; only the solvent differs. The tincture uses a traditional blend of vegetable glycerine, alcohol and water. The alcohol-free version is a glycerite made with vegetable glycerin and crystal-clear water, giving it a naturally sweet taste that suits those who avoid alcohol. Choose the tincture if you prefer a classic alcohol-extracted format with a longer shelf life; choose the glycerite if you prefer no alcohol.
Is Gou Teng the same as cat's claw?
No - and this is a common and important point of confusion. Gou Teng is the hooked stem of Uncaria rhynchophylla, a Chinese species. The herb widely sold in the West as cat's claw is a different species, Uncaria tomentosa, a woody vine from the Amazon rainforest that is used for entirely different traditional purposes. Both belong to the genus Uncaria and both bear the curved hooks that give the group its name, but they are distinct plants from different parts of the world. A third relative, Uncaria gambir, is the source of a tannin-rich extract called gambir or catechu. Our product is specifically Uncaria rhynchophylla, the Chinese Gou Teng, made from its hooked stem. The naturally occurring alkaloids in the stem, such as rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline, are simply part of its natural chemistry; our extract preserves the stem's own spectrum of constituents rather than concentrating any single isolated compound.
How do I use Gou Teng liquid extract?
Shake well before use. Adults take 20-30 drops (approximately 1 ml, one full squeeze of the dropper) in 2 oz of water, tea, or juice, up to 4 times daily, or as directed by your practitioner. Drink the entire contents.
Is Gou Teng extract right for everyone? Safety and storage.
Gou Teng contains naturally occurring plant alkaloids and is not appropriate for everyone. It is traditionally avoided during pregnancy and nursing. If you take any prescription medication - particularly medicines for blood pressure or medicines that affect the nervous system - or are managing a health condition, talk with a qualified healthcare practitioner before use, as herbal alkaloids may interact with such medications. Keep out of reach of children. Store this tincture in a cool, dark place. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

ETHICALLY SOURCED, NATURAL INGREDIENTS
Our Gou Teng (Uncaria Rhynchophylla) Stalk is selected from regions with optimal growing conditions to support a high concentration of active constituents. We work only with trusted suppliers and focus on sourcing clean, well-preserved botanical material suitable for high-quality liquid extraction.

As a solvent, we use alcohol to preserve the integrity of the extract and support a clean extraction process.
To verify botanical identity and ensure consistency, all raw materials are tested in our laboratory using established analytical techniques. These include High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) for plant authentication and fingerprinting, or Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and other in-house methods. Our approach is guided by relevant standards such as those of the USP and Ph. Eur., ISO 17025 and cGLP, allowing us to maintain rigorous quality control, ensuring the material meets our specifications for identity, purity and composition.
METICULOUS EXTRACT PREPARATION
Hawaii Pharm determines the optimal herb-to-menstruum ratio for each botanical. For alcohol-based extracts, we use a carefully balanced alcohol blend to ensure maximum extraction of active compounds while preserving the plant's natural integrity.
Our master herbalists analyze each batch and adjust extraction parameters as needed, ensuring consistent quality despite natural variations in botanical sources.
The result is a potent, stable liquid extract that captures the full spectrum of the botanical's benefits.
COMPREHENSIVE LABORATORY TESTING
Every batch undergoes multiple quality assurance tests including:
  • Organoleptic evaluation (color, consistency, aroma)
  • FTIR and/or HPTLC spectral analysis for identity confirmation
  • Microbiological testing (total plate count, E. coli, coliforms)
  • Yeast and mold screening
  • Alcohol content verification
  • Viscosity measurement
  • Refractometric analysis
