Functions:
1)Peruvian natives use Cat’s Claw to treat inflammatory diseases like arthritis, to clean out the digestive tract and to treat cancer. It has also been used to treat dysentery, recovery from childbirth, and women´s hormone imbalances.
2)In laboratory studies, Cat’s Claw normalizes some immune system functions. It also appears to help reduce blood clotting. We do not know if these laboratory results will carry over to studies in people.
3)There have been some small human studies, including in people with AIDS. The results were inconclusive. In one study, Cat’s Claw speeded the healing of people with herpes simplex virus (cold sores or genital herpes) and herpes zoster virus (shingles). A company that makes a purified version of Cat’s Claw did this study. No independent researchers have gotten similar results.
Description About Cat’s Claw Extract
Cat’s Claw is a vine that grows in Peru. The plant gets its name from pairs of large, curved thorns that grow along the vine.
Cat’s claw is a woody vine native. Its name is derived from the hook-like thorns that resemble the claws of a cat. Cat’s claw bark and root have been used for centuries by South Americans as a remedy for arthritis and to treat digestive disorders such as gastritis, colitis, and stomach ulcers.
