A pure tincture
The Banisteriopsis caapi vine—usually referred to simply as caapi —has been used in the Amazon for generations. Caapi is the main ingredient in ayahuasca. Not because it is the most potent visionary plant, but because it opens up the mental and emotional space in which insights can arise.
At Microvibes, we have developed our own caapi tincture: a concentrated extract of yellow Banisteriopsis caapi from Brazil in a ratio of 4:1 (meaning that there is 4 grams of Caapi in 1 milliliter of tincture).
The tincture is made using an extraction method similar to traditional ayahuasca preparation: slow cooking and reduction. The difference is that we only use caapi, without adding chakruna. Only caapi, water, and apple cider vinegar are used in the cooking process.
The result is a pure caapi tincture that can be used in subtle and versatile ways—for example, for microdosing.
No alcohol.
No additives.
Only the essence of the caapi vine.
What is Banisteriopsis caapi?
Banisteriopsis caapi is a climbing plant from the Amazon region and one of the best-known plants in traditional shamanism, often mentioned in relation to Ayahuasca.
The plant contains natural alkaloids such as:
– harmine
– harmaline
– tetrahydroharmine
These substances belong to the group of MAO inhibitors (monoamine oxidase inhibitors). MAO inhibitors influence the way neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine are broken down in the brain.
The effect is often described by users as:
– greater inner peace
– a clearer mind
– emotional openness
– greater introspection
Caapi is often seen as "the teacher of ayahuasca" — the plant that guides consciousness during the journey.

Microdosing with caapi
When people think of microdosing, they usually think of LSD, truffles, or magic mushrooms. But caapi microdosing is also slowly gaining popularity.
The difference between classic psychedelics and caapi is that caapi works more subtly. Whereas LSD or psilocybin often provide focus and energy, caapi works more on an emotional and introspective level.
Many people describe the experience as:
– greater peace of mind
– less mental noise
– greater emotional clarity
– a sense of connection with yourself
It's not a "trip." It feels more like a gentle shift in consciousness—as if you take a step back and see things a little more clearly.
Potential benefits of caapi microdosing
As with other psychedelic substances, people react differently to caapi. However, a number of experiences recur regularly.
Greater emotional balance
Many users notice that their emotions flow more freely and that they are less stuck in negative thought patterns.
Less mental noise
Microdosing with caapi can help reduce worrying and excessive thinking. Psychedelic substances influence brain networks involved in self-reflection and thought patterns.
Greater awareness
Many people use microdosing as a tool for personal development and self-insight.
Greater connection
Users often describe a feeling of greater connection with themselves, others, and nature.
How to microdose with caapi tincture
Microdosing is all about subtle effects. So you don't take a large amount.
Starting dose
A good start is usually 1 to 3 drops of caapi tincture.
Preferably take this in the morning or early afternoon.
Microdosing schedule
Many people use a simple schedule such as:
– Day 1: microdose
– Day 2: rest day
– Day 3: rest day
Then the cycle starts again. Rest days are not necessary (as is the case with truffles, for example), but they give your body and mind time to process the effects.
Find your sweet spot
Everyone reacts differently to plants. The ideal dose is usually just below the threshold at which you notice clear effects.
If you don't notice any effects, you can slowly increase the dose.
If you notice too many effects, you can reduce the dose slightly.
Experiences with caapi microdosing
Although there is still little scientific research into caapi microdosing, more and more people are sharing their experiences online.
Common responses include, for example:
“It feels like my head is becoming quieter.”
“I react less out of stress.”
“I find it easier to look at myself.”
“It’s subtle, but still noticeable.”
Some compare the effect to gentle inner guidance — as if you gain a little more distance from your thoughts.
