What Is It?

of the naturally occurring constituents of this herb.
Uses For Cat's Claw
Joint Health: In a 52-week, randomized double blind trial,
cat's claw extract promoted joint comfort in volunteers.
A 4-week study also suggests that cat's claw has the
ability to promote joint comfort, in part by moderating
prostaglandin metabolism. Other mechanisms of action
that may account for these effects include modulation of
both oxidative stress and cytokine production.*
Cardiovascular Health: Cardiovascular protective
properties include support for healthy vascular and
platelet function.*
Immune Support: Cat's claw alkaloids have been
specifically associated with enhancing immune system
cell function, including phagocytosis and macrophage
activity.*
Gastrointestinal Health: Studies involving cultured gastric
epithelial cells suggest that cat's claw may provide
important antioxidant protection for gut health.*
