Cat’s claw (Uncaria tomentosa) is a woody vine that has long been used by indigenous healers in the rainforests of the Peruvian Andes and elsewhere in South America and Central America.* Its use dates back to the 1500s and the ancient Incan Empire. Asháninka priests in Peru reputedly considered cat’s claw to have great powers and life-giving properties.*
In recent times cat’s claw has been studied for its ability to support gastrointestinal and immune functions.* Research suggests that in the gastrointestinal tract it can support healthy microbial balance and soothe irritated tissue.* Cat’s claw has antioxidant properties, and it may support circulation by strengthening capillaries.* Active constituents include pteropodine, isopteropodine, rhynchophylline, mitraphylline, hirsutine, and quinovic acid glycosides.
