Cat's Claw

Cat’s Claw is an herb that grows in the highlands of the Peruvian Amazon. The native Ashanica Indians have used this herb for many years to treat various illnesses associated with immune and digestive health. 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 and intestinal system”.*
