Caapi Tincture 40:1 Extract - Cielo | B. Caapi

Full-Spectrum Banisteriopsis Caapi 40:1 Concentrate

This Caapi tincture is a full-spectrum 40:1 extract of Banisteriopsis caapi, the Yellow (Cielo) variety sourced from Peru. A 40:1 ratio means that 40 parts of raw vine material are concentrated into one part of extract, resulting in one of the most concentrated Caapi preparations available. The extraction uses natural solvents and takes place in Switzerland, preserving the complete alkaloid spectrum of the vine in concentrated liquid form.

Alkaloid Composition and the Caapi Vine

Banisteriopsis caapi is the central vine in indigenous Amazonian ceremonial traditions, used for generations by communities across the Amazon basin. The vine contains beta-carboline alkaloids: harmine, harmaline, and tetrahydroharmine (THH), along with secondary alkaloids including acetyl norharmine, harmine N-oxide, and harmol. These compounds are MAO-inhibiting, a critical safety consideration that experienced practitioners and informed customers will be familiar with.

The Yellow Caapi variety (Cielo) is one of several recognised Caapi types. Caapi Red originates from Peru, Caapi Yellow from Brazil, and Caapi Caupuri from Peru. Each variety has a slightly different alkaloid ratio, which is why experienced practitioners often have a preference for a specific type.

For Ceremonial Specialists and Ethnobotanical Retailers

The 40:1 concentration ratio means this product appeals to knowledgeable customers and ceremonial practitioners who understand the botanical intimately. It is not an entry-level product. Stock it alongside your ethnobotanicals range for a coherent product offering. This is a niche product with a dedicated and returning customer base, offering strong margins for the retailer.
