Sourcing Uncaria Gambier: A Buyer’s Guide to Quality Grades

Not all Gambier is created equal. When requesting a quote for Uncaria Gambier, specific metrics determine the price and suitability for your factory.

The 3 Metrics That Matter:

  1. Catechin Content: The higher the percentage, the more premium the product. Pharmaceutical grades require 60%+, while tanning grades may accept lower ranges.
  2. Moisture Content: High moisture leads to mold during shipping. Export-quality Gambier must be dried to below 15% moisture.
  3. Ash & Impurities: Poorly processed Gambier may contain sand or twigs.

Forms Available:

  • Blocks/Cubes: The traditional form.
  • Powder: Pre-ground for immediate industrial use.
