PHYSIOLOGY: After using cat's claw in working with approximatly 150 patients between 1988 and 1992, Dr. Brent Davis reports that Uncaria Tomentosa has the ability to break through severe intestinal derangements that no other available products can touch. He refers to the herb as "the opener of the way" because of its remarkable ability to cleanse the entire intestinal tract and help patients suffering from many different stomach and bowel disorders. A wealth of beneficial phytochemicals have been found in cat's claw including quinovic acid glycosides, several oxindol alkaloids, proanthocyanidins, polyphenols, triterpines and the plant sterols beta-siosterol, stigmasterol and campesterol. Rynchophylline a fifth alkaloid found in cat's claw displays an ability to inhibit platelet aggregation and thrombosis. This suggests that cat's claw be be useful in preventing strokes and reducing the risk of heart attack by lowering blood pressure, increasing circulation, inhibiting formation of plaque on arterial walls and formation of blood clots in the brain, heart and arteries.
