Cat's Claw is a tropical vine that grows in rainforest and jungle areas in South America and Asia. Although scientific research has just recently begun to explore Cat's Claw, many cultures native to the South American rain forest areas have used this herb for hundreds of years.*

The active substances in Cat's Claw are alkaloids, tannins and several other phytochemicals. Some of the alkaloids have been proven to boost the immune system. The major alkaloid rhynchophylline has anti-hypertensive effects and may reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack by lowering blood pressure, increasing circulation, reducing heart rate and controlling cholesterol.*

Other constituents contribute anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anticancer properties. Cat's Claw has long been used as a homeopathic treatment for intestinal ailments. Uses include: Crohn's disease, gastric ulcers and tumors, parasites, colitis, gastritis, diverticulitis and leaky bowel syndrome.*

By stimulating the immune system, it can also improve response to viral and respiratory infections*

In cases of Lyme's disease, we recommend the TOA-free Prima Una de Gato.* (Related products appear on the right side of this page).

For all other cases, it is wise to combine the use of Cat's Claw with a gentle, non-laxative intestinal cleanser such as GastroCleanse.*
