Apparently alkaloids, tannins and several phytochemicals boost the immune system, reduces blood pressure, and reduces cholesterol. Some parts are anti-inflammatory, others are anti-oxidant, and others are anti-cancer agents.
But there are two species of Cat's Claw, Uncaria tomentosa and Uncaria guianensis, each have their own uses.
U. Tomentosa has been used by the indigenous people of South and Central America for 2000+ years, and is the one species more researched for its medicinal effects, while U. Guianensis is more commonly used to treat Osteoarthritis.
