Cat's Claw

Cat’s Claw is a traditional herb known for its powerful support of the immune and inflammatory response. This woody vine, named for the claw-like thorns that grow along its stem, has long been used by Indigenous communities as a tonic for strengthening overall wellness and vitality.

Modern herbalists value Cat’s Claw for its potential to modulate immune activity, reduce chronic inflammation, and support the body’s response to viruses, bacteria, and oxidative stress. Rich in oxindole alkaloids, it is believed to enhance white blood cell function and may aid in protecting cells from damage. It also contains compounds such as quinovic acid glycosides and polyphenols, which contribute to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions.

Cat’s Claw is often used to support the joints, digestive health, and the body’s natural ability to defend itself. It’s especially popular in protocols for chronic immune challenges, gut imbalance, and inflammatory disorders.
