What Is Buzzers Cat's Claw? Ingredients, Flavors & What to Expect

Buzzers is a botanical product line built around an extract of Cat's Claw, the woody vine known botanically as Uncaria tomentosa. If you have seen the brightly colored blister packs on a shop counter and wondered what is actually in them, this guide covers what the product is, what the brand states about its composition, which formats and flavors exist, and the questions worth asking before you buy.

This is written as a neutral overview. Buzzers is a third-party brand, and product specifications change from batch to batch and from retailer to retailer. Where a detail is inconsistent across listings, we say so rather than guess.

What Buzzers Is

Buzzers is sold as a flavored, chewable botanical tablet — and, in some formats, as a liquid. The active material is described by the brand as a proprietary botanical extract blend featuring an indole alkaloid extracted from the Cat's Claw plant. The word proprietary is doing real work in that sentence: the brand does not publish a full quantitative ingredient breakdown, so the specific alkaloid and the other plant-derived components in the blend are not disclosed on the label in the way a standardized supplement would disclose them.

What is disclosed is the total milligram figure per tablet or per bottle. That number refers to the proprietary extract blend, not to any single isolated compound. This distinction matters when comparing products, and we come back to it below.

Buzzers is marketed to adults 21 and over. The brand's own website gates entry on a 21+ age confirmation.

The Cat's Claw Connection

Uncaria tomentosa is a climbing vine native to the Amazon basin and other parts of Central and South America, named for the curved thorns along its stems. Its inner bark and root have a long history of traditional use in the regions where it grows, and it is a familiar botanical on supplement shelves in the United States, where it has been sold in capsule and tincture form for decades.

Cat's Claw contains a group of naturally occurring oxindole and indole alkaloids. Extracts vary widely depending on the plant part used, the growing region, and the extraction method — which is one reason two products both labeled "Cat's Claw extract" can be quite different from one another. If you want a deeper background on the plant itself, we have a standing explainer at what is Cat's Claw.

Buzzers uses this botanical as the foundation of its formula. That is the single most important thing to understand about the brand: it is a Cat's Claw product, not a Mitragyna speciosa product.

What Buzzers Does Not Contain

The brand states plainly across its own site and its retail listings that the formula contains:

  • No kratom — no Mitragyna speciosa leaf or leaf extract
  • No mitragynine — the primary alkaloid found in kratom leaf
  • No 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) — the minor kratom alkaloid that has been the focus of recent federal action

These are composition statements, not effects statements. A product being kratom-free tells you what is absent from the jar; it does not tell you what the product will do, and no responsible retailer should tell you otherwise. Cat's Claw is its own botanical with its own alkaloid profile, and it should be evaluated on those terms.

The compositional point is straightforward enough, though, and it is why kratom-free botanicals are drawing attention right now. Products built on Cat's Claw sit outside the class of substances covered by the Drug Enforcement Administration's July 2026 notices, which we cover in the regulatory section below.

Formats, Strengths, and Flavors

The Buzzers lineup has expanded into several distinct formats. Strengths below refer to the total proprietary botanical extract blend per unit as stated by the brand and its retailers — not to any isolated compound.

Buzzin with The Homiez 450mg per container Single container Berry Strawberry, Juicy Watermelon, Red Apple
Kratom content None stated across all formats — no kratom, no mitragynine, no 7-OH

Flavor availability rotates. Retailers regularly list flavors that are not on the brand's own site and vice versa, and seasonal or limited runs appear and disappear. Treat any flavor list, including this one, as a snapshot rather than a permanent catalog.

How People Use Buzzers

The tablets are designed to be chewed, and the flavoring exists largely so that they can be. Botanical extracts are generally bitter, and a chewable format only works if the flavor system carries it. The 2-tablet sachet is the most portable presentation and the one most often found at retail counters.

The bottles and shots are liquid formats. The shot bottles are labeled with a serving count rather than being presented as a single-serve item, which means the stated milligram figure on the bottle is a total for the container, not a per-serving number. That is an easy thing to misread, and it is worth checking the label rather than the front-of-pack number.

Standard practice with any unfamiliar botanical is to start at the low end of the labeled serving, wait, and see how you respond before adjusting.* Buzzers is an adults-21+ product, and it is not intended for anyone who is pregnant or nursing, or for anyone taking prescription medication without first speaking to a healthcare professional.

Lab Testing and Certificates of Analysis

Buzzers retail listings frequently describe the product as lab tested, with batches checked for purity and potency. What we were not able to locate is a publicly posted, batch-linked certificate of analysis on the brand's own website. That is not unusual in this category, but it is worth knowing.

A useful habit, regardless of brand: ask for the COA that matches the batch or lot number printed on the package you are actually holding. A generic testing claim on a product page is a marketing statement. A batch-matched COA is a document. We keep our own testing documentation at our COA page so customers can check the same way.

Where Buzzers Sits in the Current Regulatory Picture

On July 1, 2026, the DEA filed Notices of Intent to temporarily place 7-hydroxymitragynine above a specified threshold into Schedule I, along with mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, MGM-15, and MGM-16. The notices published in the Federal Register on July 6, 2026. The temporary scheduling order will not issue before August 5, 2026, and once issued it runs for two years. The DEA's announcement is available at dea.gov.

The threshold matters as much as the scheduling itself: as described in the notice, it is set at 0.05% 7-OH for leaf material, and 0.05% or 1mg per article for extracts, concentrates, edibles, and pressed pills. We break that down in the 7-OH threshold explained and cover the broader question in is 7-OH banned.

Because Buzzers is a Cat's Claw product with no kratom and no kratom alkaloids, it is not within the class of substances those notices address. That said, legality of any botanical product depends on its actual formulation and on applicable state and local law, which varies. Check the rules where you live rather than relying on a blanket claim from any brand or retailer, including us.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Buzzers contain kratom or 7-OH?

No. The brand states that its formula contains no kratom, no mitragynine, and no 7-hydroxymitragynine. The active material is described as a proprietary botanical extract blend featuring Cat's Claw (Uncaria tomentosa).

What does the milligram number on the package mean?

It refers to the total proprietary botanical extract blend per tablet, bottle, or container — not to an isolated single compound. Because the blend is proprietary, a full quantitative breakdown is not published, so milligram figures are not directly comparable to products that list a specific standardized alkaloid.

What flavors does Buzzers come in?

It varies by format. Tablets have been listed in Blue Razz, Cherry Limeade, Kiwi Dragonberry, Mixed Berry, Sour Apple, and Strawberry, with different flavor sets for the Tabs, Bottles, Shots, and Homiez lines. Availability rotates by retailer.

Is Cat's Claw the same thing as kratom?

No. Cat's Claw is Uncaria tomentosa, a vine from Central and South America. Kratom is Mitragyna speciosa, a tree native to Southeast Asia. They are different plants with different alkaloid profiles, and they are regulated differently.

Is Buzzers legal where I live?

Legality depends on the specific formulation of the product and on the state and local laws that apply to you, and those laws differ and change. We do not make blanket legality claims. Check your own state and local rules before ordering.
