Description of Prima Uña de Gato (Hypoallergenic) from Allergy Research Group®:

Uña de Gato (Uncaria tomentosa), or cat's claw, has long been used by indigenous healers in the rainforests of the Peruvian Andes and elsewhere in South America. In recent times it has been studied for its ability to support gastrointestinal and immune functions.  In the gastrointestinal tract, it has been shown to help control inflammation and microbial balance, and soothe irritated tissue. Research into its ability to support the immune system has shown that it has antioxidant properties, which may support the body's inhibition of the development of potentially aberrant cells.  It can support circulation by strengthening of capillaries. *

Prima Uña de Gato is standardized from whole bark, manufactured using a proprietary process that does not involve the use of solvents.  Regular cat's claw contains both pentacyclic oxindole alkaloids (POAs) and tetracyclic oxindole alkaloids (TOAs), whereas Prima Uña de Gato is standardized to 0.5% POAs, and is 100% free of TOAs.  Regular cat's claw typically has a total alkaloid content of 3.0%, with up to 20-25% of that alkaloid content in the form of TOAs.  Prima Uña de Gato extract is free of TOAs.  Why is this distinction important?  TOAs are chemical antagonists that act upon the central nervous system and can greatly inhibit the positive effect of the POAs.  The POA content of Prima Uña de Gato is much more effective because immune enhancement is diminished when the two chemotypes are mixed.  POAs primarily affect the immune cells responsible for nonspecific and cellular immunity, and demonstrate powerful immune system modulating properties.  In short, Prima Uña de Gato, containing only POAs, may have more benefit for immune enhancement than a standard cat's claw containing both pentacyclic and tetracyclic alkaloids. *

TOA-free chemotype cat's claw can help to restore and boost the immune system.  The POAs are the active ingredients that provide the principal immunomodulating and immunostimulating activity.  POAs are actively involved in the functional mechanisms of both innate and acquired immunity, assisting in the maintenance of the immune system's structural and functional integrity.  In addition, Prima Uña de Gato contains quinovic acid glycosides, the natural compounds upon which the synthetic antibiotic quinolones are based. *

TOA-free cat's claw was introduced into Bulgaria, which has a high occurrence of Borrelia burgdorferi, in January 2001, where it quickly became the most widely sold natural remedy in that country.  TOA-free chemotype cat's claw has been used by Dr. Atanas Tzonkov in Bulgaria's largest private medical clinic, in the nutritional support for thousands of patients involving over 100 conditions. Also in 2001, the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy (OGYI), equivalent to the U.S. FDA, approved TOA-free chemotype cat's claw for over-the-counter use. *

Prima Uña de Gato offers a significant advancement in the understanding of the best utilization of Uncaria tomentosa.  The Prima Uña de Gato formula is potentized with minerals and enzymes to support detoxification, and has been clinically tested. Atanas Tzonkov, director of the Lechitel Clinic in Sofia, Bulgaria, has stated that TOA-free chemotype cat's claw can fortify a person's own self-healing power which Nature has built into his spirit, mind and body. *

*Hypoallergenic Defined:  According to Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary "hypoallergenic" is defined as:  "Diminished potential for causing an allergic reaction."   Allergy Research Group® defines hypoallergenic as "Free of all common allergens", specifically, wheat, corn, soy, gluten, yeast, dairy, and eggs. Many very sensitive individuals who reach to supplements in general, are able to tolerate Allergy Research Group® product. Since our inception in 1979, we have been using only the purest, and whenever possible, the lowest allergy potential natural ingredients. And while many of the nutrients in our formulas are synthesized from natural substances (plant sources), which as a whole may contain antigens, the synthesizing process removes the molecules of the desired nutrient from the original substance, and in the processing a great percentage of the antigens and allergens are left behind. The final material then has extremely low allergy potential. This is not to say that no one will react to any of our hypoallergenic formulas, as some extremely sensitive people may.  However, the potential for an allergic reaction is low, and the feedback from many of our extremely allergic and sensitive customers is that Allergy Research Group® supplements are the only products they are able to tolerate.  (For further information about Allergy Research Group, click on their information link above)
