Cat’s Claw

| This herb grows in
the highlands of the Peruvian Amazon. The
native Ashanica Indians have used this herb
for many years to relieve various illnesses
associated with the immune and digestive systems.
In July of 1989, a U.S. patent
was issued to a research scientist for
isolating six oxindole alkaloids from the root
of the Cat’s Claw herb. This patent
states that all but two of the
alkaloids “are suitable for the unspecific stimulation
of the immune system”. According to the
patent, Isopteropodine is the most immunologically active
of the alkaloids and it has shown
to have a profound affect on phagocytosis,
which is the ability of the white
blood cells and macrophages to attack and
digest harmful microorganisms, foreign matter and debris.
Cat’s Claw contains several of the polyphenols,
in addition to triterpines and the plant
steroids, beta-sitosterol, stigmasterol and campesterol. These compounds
exert powerful antioxidant, anti-viral, anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory
properties.
Package Type: 100 Caps
Warnings: Keep out of the reach of children.
Precautions:
Notes: It is important to note that there is another Uncaria species that grows in the lowlands of the Peruvian rain forests called Uncaria Guiansis. This name also translates to Cat’s Claw. Although it has some of the same characteristics of Uncaria Tomentosa, it lacks the most active alkaloid, Isopteropodine. Therefore, this species has a less effective action on immune function. Products that may be sold as “Cat’s Claw” can be either species so it’s important to read the label carefully so that you may identify the most effective species.
