researched in Cat's Claw are 6 oxindole
alkaloids. These alkaloids have been documented worldwide by independent research and
patented to nutritionally support the immune system. Raintree's Cat's Claw capsules has
the highest alkaloid content of any standard inner bark capsules available. Total alkaloid
content of tested samples from other available products range from .13% to 1.05%. This
represents a huge difference in quality and efficacy. Because of our commitment to
quality, Raintree's alkaloid content has always assayed in a range of 1.2% to 1.58%.
