Premium Bioactive Ingredients
How are we different?
Our 10:1 cat's claw extract is obtained through a natural double extraction of the plant's bark. Using only water and food grade ethanol, the gentle processing method preserves the plant's wide spectrum of bioactives and allows us to standardise the alkaloid content to 3%. The bark is harvested from an indigenous terroir in Peru throughout the months of May and June.
For the capsule shells we use custom-made HPMC capsules that, unlike most other HPMC capsules on the market, are 100% free from controversial additives such as carrageenans and PEG. We then package this product using environmentally-friendly amber glass jars.
Effects
Cat's claw (Uncaria tomentosa) is a liana plant native to the Amazon region. It owes its name to an old legend of the Asháninka people in which the plant's thorns are compared to the claws of a cat. In 1994, it was officially recognised by the WHO as a medicinal plant. It contains penta- and tetracyclic oxindole alkaloids (POA) as well as antioxidants such as quinones, terpenoids (especially quinovic acid glycosides), sterols, flavonoids (procyanidins, epicatechin and quinconaine) and beta-carotene (provitamin A). The bark of cat's claw is particularly rich in alkaloids.
