Cat’s Claw contains compounds that exert powerful anti-oxidant, anti-viral, anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory properties.
Description:
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 anti-oxidant, anti-viral, anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory properties.
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.

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”.
