Cat’s Claw, also known as Uncaria
tomentosa or U–a de Gato, belongs to the family Rubiaceae. Uncaria tomentosa
is a woody vine that grows over 100 feet in length as it attaches and winds
its way up through trees in the Peruvian rain forests. The vine, which takes
20 or more years to reach maturity, is so named because its small, sharp
thorns truly resemble a Cat’s Claw. For many years, native healers of Peru
have used the inner bark of Cat’s Claw as an herbal preparation.
This preparation has a variety of uses ranging from enhancing the
body’s physiclogical defense ability to improving joint and gastrointestinal
function.
Cat’s Claw contains quinovic acid
glycosides and six known oxindole alkaloids: isopteropodine, pteropodine,
isomitraphylline, mitraphylline, isorynchophylline and rynchophylline.
In addition to the oxindole
alkaloids, other beneficial phytochemicals have been found to be inherent in
the herb: proanthocyanidins, polyphenols, triterpines, and plant sterols
such as beta-sitosterol, stigmasterol and campesterol.
