Optimized Cat’s Claw
350 mg, 60 vegetarian capsules
Item Catalog Number: 966

Scientists have discovered new classes of anti-inflammatory medications, but concerns about side effects have prompted consumers to seek natural agents that safely suppress the underlying factors that give rise to inflammation in the body.

Cat’s claw, an herb native to Central and South America, contains an abundance of phytochemicals that have been shown, via several different mechanisms, to exert powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that support DNA repair, joint health, immune function, and already-normal cell division.*

Scientists believe cat’s claw’s antioxidant effects may play a crucial role in shielding highly vulnerable DNA from damaging free-radical assault.1 In addition to quenching dangerous free radicals, cat’s claw inhibits the body’s production and activation of several critical mediators associated with inflammatory conditions, including tumor necrosis factor-alpha,2 nuclear factor-kappa B,3,4 and prostaglandin E2.2

AC-11® is a unique, patented water-soluble Cat's Claw Extract standardized to carboxy alkyl esters, not alkaloids (alkaloid free). This remarkable extract from the Amazon offers DNA protective benefits, supports immune function, is a natural antioxidant, and inhibits pro-inflammatory compounds.*
