Cats Claw (Uncaria Tomentosa)

The rainforest immune powerhouse — anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and deeply restorative.

Cat's Claw (Uncaria tomentosa) is a woody vine native to the Amazon rainforest, used for over 2,000 years by indigenous Peruvian communities for its remarkable immune-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties. Its active alkaloids and oxindoles make it one of the most potent natural anti-inflammatory and antiviral herbs available.
