An antioxidant
from the jungle
Uncaria is a plant rare in the uniqueness of its healing properties and prevalence in nature.The Indians of the Amazon and Peru gave the plant the name cat's claw.
Discovery of the 20th century
Uncaria is a kind of tree-like liana that grows to a truly fabulous size - 40 meters. Its second name - cat's claw - was received for its incredible vitality, clinging to all the surrounding trees with thorns that resemble cat claws.
Because of its tiny distribution area, the plant was known only to local residents for a long time. The Amazonian Indians have always treated the plant with respect: they brewed tea from uncaria, and used it to cleanse the body and prevent diseases.
No one knew about the powerful immune-boosting properties cat's claw until the Austrian ethnologist and journalist Klaus Kiplenger published the first work on the plant’s properties in the 1970s. Later, working independently from each other, researchers from Spain, France, Japan, Germany and Peru confirmed Kiplenger's data regarding the healing effects of the vine’s active substances. The use and consumption of the plant extract became available only ten years later, when all the beneficial properties were carefully studied by scientists.
