What is Swanson Surinami küünisväät (Cat's Claw), and what does it contain?

Swanson Surinami küünisväät kapslid N100 (Cat's Claw) is a herbal supplement based on cat's claw, i.e. Uncaria tomentosa. This is a vine native to South America that has long been used in traditional herbal practices.

Interest in the plant is linked above all to its natural compounds, which are being studied for their role in immune and oxidative processes:

• Alkaloids — a characteristic group of compounds in Uncaria tomentosa;
• Polyphenols — plant substances with a long history of research;
• other natural components of the vine.

The product comes in capsule form, with 100 capsules per pack. It is not a medicine but a food supplement based on a plant extract, which is more often viewed as part of a balanced diet and a thoughtful approach to self-care. The supplement is not intended to diagnose, treat or prevent disease and does not replace a varied diet.
