Frequently Asked Questions about Qin Jiao Extract

What is Qin Jiao / large-leaf gentian (Gentiana macrophylla) root extract?

Qin Jiao is a liquid extract of the dried root of Gentiana macrophylla, a perennial plant of the Gentianaceae family known as large-leaf gentian, and in traditional Chinese herbalism as Qin Jiao (the root is also called Radix Gentianae Macrophyllae). This tincture is extracted with organic alcohol. It is a whole-root liquid extract carrying the root's natural constituents, including bitter iridoid glycosides such as gentiopicroside, not an isolated or standardized single-compound product, and it is meant to be taken internally by the drop. Please note this is Gentiana macrophylla (Qin Jiao), a different species from Long Dan Cao, the Chinese gentian (Gentiana manshurica), and from Western yellow gentian (Gentiana lutea), both of which we sell separately. Please read the safety notes below.

What is the difference between the tincture and alcohol-free versions?

Both are liquid extracts of the same Gentiana macrophylla root; only the solvent differs. This tincture uses organic alcohol with vegetable glycerin and water, the classic conventional method that yields a super-concentrated extract with a long shelf life. The alcohol-free version is a glycerite made with vegetable glycerin and crystal clear water instead, for those who prefer to avoid alcohol. Choose the tincture for a traditional alcohol-extracted format; choose the glycerite if you prefer no alcohol. The botanical inside is identical. Please follow the safety notes for both.

How is Qin Jiao different from Long Dan Cao and Western gentian?

All three are gentians (genus Gentiana), but they are different species with different traditional roles, so it is worth being clear. Qin Jiao is Gentiana macrophylla, the large-leaf gentian, used traditionally for the joints and sinews. Long Dan Cao is the Chinese gentian, Gentiana manshurica (also given as G. scabra), a very bitter root used differently in Chinese herbalism. Western or yellow gentian is Gentiana lutea, the classic European "bitter" used in digestive bitters and aperitifs. We sell all three, labeled by botanical name, so they are not mixed up - this one is Gentiana macrophylla (Qin Jiao). One naming note: you may see the root written as "Gentianae Macrophyllae," which is the Latin pharmacy phrase for the root; the plant itself is Gentiana macrophylla.

How do I use Qin Jiao / gentian root liquid extract?

Shake well before use. Use the number of drops and the frequency shown on the label, in a little water, tea or juice, or as directed by your practitioner. The alcohol-free glycerite can be taken directly or added to a cool drink; for the alcohol tincture, adding it to a little water softens the taste. It is naturally bitter. Do not exceed the suggested serving. Please read the safety information below before use. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light.

Is Qin Jiao right for everyone? Safety information.

Qin Jiao (Gentiana macrophylla) root has a long traditional record and is generally well tolerated at sensible amounts as a bitter herb, but a few cautions apply. Do NOT use during pregnancy, and avoid while nursing, as its safety in pregnancy and breastfeeding is not well established. Do not use it if you are allergic to gentian or related plants. Keep to the suggested serving and do not exceed it. If you take any medication or have a medical condition, consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use. Keep out of reach of children. This tincture contains alcohol and should be stored in a cool, dark place. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

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. and cGLP, allowing us to maintain rigorous quality control, ensuring the material meets our specifications for identity, purity and composition.

METICULOUS EXTRACT PREPARATION Small-Batch

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.
