"Protecting the immune system"

Cat's Claw is a tropical woody vine that grows in the rainforests and jungles of Peru and has been referred to as "Miracle Herb of the Rain Forest ". The vine derives its name from the small thorns at the base of the leaves, which resemble a cat's claw. The active ingredients in Cat's Claw are alkaloids, tannins and several other phytochemicals such as oxinole alkaloids, triterpines, glycosides, and sterols. These phytochemicals have adaptogenic, anti-tumor, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Some of the alkaloids have been proven to boost the immune system.
