Extra Info

Cat's claw requires sufficient stomach acid to help break down the tannins and alkaloids during digestion and to aid in absorption. Avoid taking capsules at the same time as antacids. • Large dosages of cat's claw (3-4 gram dosages) have been reported to cause some abdominal pain or gastrointestinal problems including diarrhea (due to the tannin content of the vine bark). The diarrhea or loose stools tend to be mild and go away with continued use. Discontinue use or reduce dosage if diarrhea persists longer than 3-4 days. Cat's Claw (Uncaria tomentosa) is an herb that grows in the rain forests of the Peruvian Amazon where it has been used for centuries by the Native Peruvians. Recent research has discovered that its inner bark contains unique active alkaloid constituents known as Oxindole Alkaloids, that help support the body's natural defenses. Cats Claw Standardized Extract is standardized to 3% Oxindole Alkaloids. Cat's Claw is obtained without needless destruction of the plant, thereby protecting the delicate Amazon ecosystem.
