Description
Cat’s Claw NSP — Immunomodulator and Anti-Inflammatory from the Amazon
Cat’s Claw (Uncaria tomentosa) — a climbing vine from Amazonian rainforests, used for over 2000 years by Peruvian indigenous medicine for immunity support and joint inflammation treatment.
Active Components
Oxindole alkaloids (mitraphylline, isomitraphylline, pteropodine) — immunomodulators stimulating macrophage phagocytosis. Mitraphylline inhibits NF-κB — the master transcription factor of systemic inflammation.
Quinovic acid glycosides — antioxidants with antiviral activity.
Procyanidins and polyphenols — synergistic antioxidants.
Beta-sitosterol — phytosterol relevant for men’s health.
Mechanisms of Action
- Immunomodulation — activates cellular immune response
- Anti-inflammatory — inhibits NF-κB and COX-2 (NSAID-like, without GI side effects)
- Antioxidant protection
- DNA repair activation
Clinical Evidence
RCT (Mur E. et al., Journal of Rheumatology, 2002): Uncaria tomentosa extract significantly reduced joint pain and swelling in rheumatoid arthritis (PMID: 12182488).
Akesson et al. (International Immunopharmacology, 2003): Cat’s claw restored DNA damage and showed immunostimulating action in chemotherapy patients (PMID: 12590922).
How to Use
Standard dose: 1–2 capsules 3x daily, 30 minutes before meals. Course: 3–6 months.
For acute infections: increase to 3 capsules 3x daily for 7–14 days.
Caution: Not recommended with organ transplants, immunosuppressants, or anticoagulants.

💬 Consultant’s Comment
NSP Cat’s Claw (Uncaria tomentosa) is one of the most powerful plants from the Peruvian rainforest. I recommend it for chronic joint inflammation, weakened immunity, and post-viral recovery. The plant’s oxindole alkaloids boost T-lymphocyte and NK-cell activity and suppress NF-kB — the key mediator of chronic inflammation. Effects are typically noticeable after 4–6 weeks of regular use.

What is NSP Cat's Claw and what does it do?
NSP Cat's Claw is an extract of the inner bark of Uncaria tomentosa (una de gato), a traditional Peruvian medicinal plant. Its active components — oxindole alkaloids (mitraphylline, isopteropodine), proanthocyanidins, and glycosides — exert immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral effects.
How does NSP Cat's Claw benefit joints?
Clinical research (Mur et al., 2002, n=40) demonstrated significant reductions in joint pain and swelling in rheumatoid arthritis after 24 weeks of Uncaria tomentosa treatment. The mechanism involves NF-kB and TNF-alpha suppression, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine synthesis.
When is NSP Cat's Claw especially recommended?
It is indicated for rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, chronic inflammation (intestinal, joint), weakened immunity and frequent viral infections, chronic fatigue syndrome, and as supportive care during or after chemotherapy.
What is the recommended dose of NSP Cat's Claw?
Take 2 capsules twice daily between meals. For joint issues, a course of 2-3 months is recommended. For immune support, 4–6 weeks is typical.
Are there contraindications for NSP Cat's Claw?
Avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding (may stimulate uterine contractions). Do not combine with anticoagulants (warfarin, heparin). With autoimmune conditions (SLE, MS), consult a doctor before use.
How does Uncaria tomentosa differ from Uncaria rhynchophylla?
Uncaria tomentosa (Peruvian cat's claw) contains oxindole alkaloids for immune and anti-inflammatory activity. Uncaria rhynchophylla (Chinese variant) is richer in neuroprotective alkaloids. NSP uses U. tomentosa — the preferred choice for joints and immunity.
How does NSP Cat's Claw combine with other NSP products?
For joints: Cat's Claw + NSP Chondroitin + NSP Glucosamine (triple cartilage support). For immunity: Cat's Claw + NSP Echinacea + NSP Zinc. For chronic inflammation: Cat's Claw + NSP Omega-3.
