Cat's Claw Extract

NOW® Cat’s Claw Extract has the highest quality bark of authentic Uncaria tomentosa, an exciting herbal discovery from the Peruvian rainforest. Also called uña de gato, it has been used for hundreds of years by the native Ashanica Indians.

Studies have shown that cat's claw may help boost the immune system by increasing the production of white blood cells, which are key players in the body's defense against infections and diseases. The plant's active compounds, including alkaloids, flavonoids, and polyphenols, have been shown to have immunomodulatory effects, meaning they can help regulate and balance immune system function.

Cat's claw has also been shown to have antioxidant properties, which can help protect against cellular damage caused by harmful molecules called free radicals. Free radicals can contribute to chronic inflammation, which can weaken the immune system and increase the risk of chronic diseases.
