Cats Claw has been noted for its remarkable ability to cleanse the entire intestinal tract and help patients suffering from many different stomach and bowel disorders. It appears the answer lies in some of the unique and varied phytochemicals found in Cats Claw, and the unique synergistic way in which they function. Cats Claw contains oxindole alkaloids, quinovic acid glycosides, triterpines, polyphenols, proanthocynidins, and plant sterols. The therapeutic action of herbs often comes from alkaloids, organic nitrogenous compounds that cause certain chemical reactions within the body.
Glycosides are important sugars for the proper functioning of the heart and blood stream.

These active constituents in Cats Claw also serve to increase muscle strength, stamina, and endurance, while helping to speed recovery from hard physical work. All rights reserved.
