Whats in Cats Claw…is it really an herb?
Uno de Gato (Cat’s Claw) Liquid is a hydroalcoholic extract of the plant called Uncaria tomentosa. A number of years ago Dr. Brent Davis (the owner of Phytotherapy Research Lab–or PRL for short) developed an accord with what is probably the last Peruvian tribe that has not destroyed or overharvested the old, original powerful plants of Cat’s Claw. The plant itself looks like a cat’s paw…thus the name “Cat’s Claw” or in Spanish “Una de Gato”. The tribe has agreed to carefully manage these old, highly revered and strongly medicinal vines of Cat’s Claw on their land for the future. Due to PRL’s new extraction technique, they are recovering an estimated 4 times the alkaloid content that their previous product had. This, they believe, surpasses all other Cat’s Claw products on the market. They will confirm this finally by high level laboratory testing they hope to complete soon.
