Cat’s claw
Cat’s claw (Uncaria tomentosa) has been used for thousands of years by indigenous people of the Amazon for supporting a healthy immune system. Not surprisingly, the name comes from the shape of the thorns on the woody vine from which the herbal supplement comes. The herb is derived from the inner bark of the vine.
- Supports the immune system
- Promotes a healthy intestinal tract
- Potent antioxidant properties
- Dilates blood vessels and promotes normal blood pressure
Side effects: Occasional stomach upset, but generally very well tolerated. Cat’s claw requires activation by stomach acid to be effective and should be taken with food. Acid-blocking drugs can prevent activation of cat’s claw. Taking apple cider vinegar with the herb may enhance activation.
