Pharmacodynamics
"Cat's claw" is a tree-like liana growing in the Peruvian forests. The substance has anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, adaptogenic, analgesic, immunomodulatory, and antioxidant activity. In addition, it slows down the process of tumor proliferation.
For use in modern medicine, a powder extract formed from the bark of such vines is used. It contains all the bioactive components of the plant: penta-, as well as tetracyclic oxyindole alkaloids, as well as polyphenols with phenols, triterpenes and glycosides contained in quinic acid, with steroids.
Oxyindole alkaloids with "cat's claw" (pteropodin, mitraphylline with speciophiline, uncarin with rhynchophylline, etc.) have pronounced antiarrhythmic, antiviral, immunostimulating (stimulation of phagocytosis processes), antiplatelet, and in addition antiulcer, anti-inflammatory, antiasthmatic, anticarcinogenic and hypocholesterolemic properties. They can also slow down the activity of MAO and have a muscle relaxant and vasodilatory effect.
The phenolic group includes catechins (called epicatechins) with proanthocyanidins. Epicatechins have a powerful antioxidant, antimutagenic and P-vitamin effect. Leucoanthocyanidins increase the sensitivity of tumor cells to ionizing radiation, which increases the effectiveness of radiotherapy in people with oncology.
Along with this, proanthocyanidinamines inhibit enzymatic processes of reduction-oxidation inside tumor cells (demonstrate antitumor activity). Also, epicatechins also have antiviral (this includes viruses that cause herpes and hepatitis), anticoagulant and antihistamine effects.
Glycosides contained in quinic acid cause the development of an antiviral effect, and triterpene-type saponins cause antisclerotic, antibacterial, and antitumor effects.
Campestrol with stigmasterol (steroids) lead to the development of analgesic and antibacterial effects, and at the same time promote hair growth.
Dosing and administration
The dosage is selected individually. Children over 6 years of age and adults are prescribed 1 capsule once a day (recommended in the morning), half an hour before meals; the medicine should be washed down with 0.5-1 glass of plain water. The therapy should last 2-3 months, with a 5-7-day break after each month.
If necessary, taking into account the severity of the disease, it is permissible to increase the daily dose to 3-6 capsules.
To prevent diseases, it is prescribed to take 1 capsule every other day for a 2-3 month cycle.
