Cat's Claw      Product Info Decker Weiss, NMD
Support for joint, cardiovascular, immune and gastrointestinal function

$26.00  90 capsules              Available in  180 Capsules

Cat's claw, also known as Uncaria tomentosa, has been used traditionally in Peru for over 2,000 years. Alkaloids, phenols, sterols and glycosides comprise some of the naturally occurring constituents of this herb. The effects of these compounds are far- reaching and include support for joint function, gastric and intestinal health, cellular protection and immune activity.

In a 52-week, randomized, double blind trial, cat's claw extract promoted joint comfort in volunteers. A 4-week study also suggests that cat's claw has the ability to promote joint comfort, in part by maintaining healthy prostaglandin metabolism. Other mechanisms of action that may account for these effects include protecting from oxidative stress and supporting healthy cytokine production. Studies involving cultured gastric epithelial cells suggest that cat's claw may provide important antioxidant protection for gut health.

Cat's claw alkaloids have been specifically associated with enhancing immune system cell function, including phagocytosis and macrophage activity. Cardiovascular support properties include support for healthy vascular and platelet function. Preliminary evidence suggests that cat's claw may provide protective support for healthy breast cell function. Cat's claw may be contraindicated for individuals who are taking blood thinning or antihypertensive medications due to a potential synergistic effect.

Pycnogenol® 100 mg 30 Capsules    Product Info Sheet     60 Capsules
Pine bark extract with antioxidant properties

Pycnogenol® promotes vascular health and provides powerful antioxidant support.

$48.00

Pycnogenol” originally denoted all proanthocyanidin extracts, regardless of source. However, it now refers specifically to maritime pine bark. The mixture of proanthocyanidins in pine bark supports vascular endothelial integrity by stabilizing collagenous membranes. They also promote vascular function by modulating nitric oxide levels. In addition to facilitating vitamin C regeneration and preserving vitamin E, pycnogenol is a potent hydroxyl and superoxide radical scavenger. Collectively, these actions promote the health of blood vessels. Pycnogenol® contains a minimum of 65- 75% proanthocyanidins by weight.

Recommended dosage: 1–2 capsules per day, in divided doses, between meals.

each vegetable capsule contains:

Pycnogenol (pine bark extract)	100 mg.
(standardized to contain 65-75% proanthocyanins)
vitamin C (as ascorbyl palmitate)	4 mg.
(hypo-allergenic plant fiber added to complete capsule volume requirement)
