Cat’s Claw Quality

Cat’s Claw (Uncaria tomentosa) is an herb traditionally used by the Asháninka Indians of Peru. The tribe recognized two different types of this plant (one was used therapeutically, the other was never used). This difference has been verified phytochemically and two chemotypes have been identified: the preferred chemotype contains predominantly only pentacyclic oxindole alkaloids (POAs) speciophylline, mitraphylline, pteropodine, isomitraphylline and isopteropodine; the other chemotype, which was never used, contains predominantly the tetracyclic oxindole alkaloids (TOAs) rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline in addition to the POAs. The preference for the POA chemotype Cat’s Claw has been backed up by scientific research. MediHerb tests each batch of Cat’s Claw to determine that only the preferred chemotype is used to manufacture our Cat’s Claw products. The batch of herb shown was rejected by our quality assurance testing as it contained high levels of TOAs.
