Brand: Z Natural Foods
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
The active compounds in Cat's Claw, specifically alkaloids and glycosides, interact with the immune system at a cellular level. They modulate the activity of white blood cells like macrophages and lymphocytes, enhancing the body's ability to identify and eliminate pathogens. Additionally, these compounds inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokines and enzymes such as COX-2, which helps regulate the body's healthy inflammation response. This dual action supports cellular defense and reduces oxidative stress in joint tissues.
Key Benefits
Key benefits include:
- Supports a robust immune system response
- Promotes joint health and mobility
- Encourages a healthy inflammation response
- Provides antioxidant protection against cellular damage
