Originating in the tropical regions of South America this plant has many medicinal applications including 

Traditional Chinese Medicine has used Cat's Claw to treat high blood pressure. With a specific alkaloid called hirustine, this plant has the ability to keep blood pressure under control.  Calcium is blocked from entering the cells of the heart and blood walls while widening and relaxing the blood vessels themselves. This in turn helps the blood to flow in a healthy, smooth manner. 

What is Turmeric?

A spice able to reduce chronic inflammation organically without the side effects of over the counter medicine. 

While inflammation is vital for the body for reasons like fighting off pathogens, and bacteria that could easily overtake the body. Chronic inflammation causes the body to attack itself breaking down its own fibers and tissues. 

Chronic inflammation can cause degenerative ailments such as heart diseases, cancer, Alzheimer's etc. 

Curcumin is strongly anti-inflammatory. In fact is matches the effectiveness of some anti-inflammatory drugs, without the side effects. 

It blocks NF-kB, a molecule that travels into the nuclei of your cells and turns on genes related to inflammation. NF-kB is believed to play a major role in many chronic diseases.

How Do We Capture These Nutrients?

While most other companies spray their products with maltodextrin to make them taste better and superficially increase other marketable aspects, destruction to the plant's enzyme occurs reducing its effectiveness and nutrient value.

The powder we retain within out capsules are sourced from full-grown Aguaje trees and are acquired when the fruit itself has fully ripened. This guarantees the full nutrient spectrum within the fruit. The fruit is then:

Dried at low temperatures, Ground into a powder and Packaged within our fully edible capsules to maintain its enzyme structure and nutrient value.
