Cat's Claw
How it Works
From deep in the rain forests of Peru comes a truly remarkable herb known as Cat’s Claw, or Uña de Gato in Spanish. It has been used by the Peruvian natives for centuries in a variety of applications. Cat’s Claw, according to many herbalists, may be one of the Amazon’s most impressive traditional healing plants. While Cat’s Claw is the key ingredient in this formula, NSP has combined it with the traditional Asian tonic herb artragalus and the Native American herb echinacea, to create an all-herbal immune supplement from classic traditional medicine ingredients.
The story behind Cat's Claw
Uña de gato has been used by indigenous people in Central and South America for 2,000 years to help ward off disease. Astragalus is native to China, Mongolia and North Korea and is known as huang qi or yellow leader. This root has been used for more than 2,000 years and is still considered one of the 50 fundamental herbs of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Centuries ago, Native Americans turned to the healing power of echinacea, using it traditionally for respiratory support and discomfort. More recently, herbal practitioners have embraced echinacea to support the body’s natural defenses. After it became the most popular herbal remedy in the US in the early 1900s, echinacea’s cultivation spread to Europe. In the last few decades, we have discovered the many constituents that power this amazing plant’s benefits.
