What is slowly being discovered as a medicinal plant in this country has a long tradition in many parts of Latin America: cat's claw. The tropical liana-like plant bears the botanical name Uncaria tomentosa.

The Indians of the Peruvian rainforest have appreciated the cat's claw for centuries and use it mainly as a versatile medicinal plant. With its help they have always cured different types of health problems, both external and internal, and have also used it preventively, as a protective measure against disease.

In Peru, the cat's claw is called Una de Gato, which means loosely translated "cat's claw" or "cat's thorn". The cat's claw owes its name to the conspicuous claw-like spines, with the help of which they like to climb trees in the rainforest - sometimes this happens up to heights of more than 60 metres. In addition, the plant is mainly found in moist and rather shady parts of the rainforest.

Valuable extract directly from the bark

In contrast to many other plants, whose healing effect is contained in the leaves, flowers or sometimes in the stems, the cat's claw hides its most valuable ingredient exceptionally well: only in the inner root bark, those hidden parts can be exploited. The extract from the inside of this bark is ground into a fine, light brown powder - and this powder is the basis for all further forms of processing and dosing.

But what makes cat's claw bark so extraordinary? The answer lies in their ingredients: both the bark and the extract are rich in valuable alkaloids, quinovinyl glycosides, terpenoids and flavonoids. Alkaloids are natural, regulatory plant substances that occur in nature in a remarkable variety; it is estimated that there are over 10,000 different subspecies.

Quinovinyl acid glycosides appear as natural anti-inflammatory agents. Terpenoids are said to have a protective effect on mitochondria, the human cells of strength. Flavonoids belong to the so-called phytochemicals and can only be produced in a certain type of cell. Flavonoids are used today in many common medicines, especially those intended to regulate the activity of the stomach, digestive tract and intestines.

Very high content of active ingredients thanks to 4 to 1 extraction

A particularly effective extraction process ensures that the active ingredients of cat's claw from the bark can be used in the highest possible dosage. The extraction works in a ratio of 4 to 1, which means: 1 gram of our effective extract contains 4 grams of cat's claw bark. The natural active ingredients in the extract are therefore four times more concentrated than in the bark! Thus, with only 3 capsules per day you get a large amount of the valuable ingredients of cat's claw, as 3 capsules provide 1500 mg of cat's claw extract. Thanks to a sophisticated extraction process, these 3 capsules are the equivalent of 6000 mg of Cat's Claw Bark!
