We explored the effectiveness of Uncaria tomentosa, commonly known as cat's claw, in treating denture stomatitis, a condition often linked to yeast infections, particularly from Candida species. In our study, we involved fifty patients suffering from denture stomatitis, dividing them into three groups: one received a well-established antifungal, 2% miconazole; another got a placebo; and the last group used 2% cat's claw gel.
Throughout the study, we measured the severity of denture stomatitis at various periods—immediately, after a week of treatment, and a week later. We also collected samples from the patients' oral mucosa and dentures to analyze the levels of yeast present.
Our findings were quite encouraging. All groups showed a noticeable reduction in the severity of their condition, particularly after one week. More importantly, cat's claw gel demonstrated effectiveness similar to that of 2% miconazole in reducing the number of yeast cells present, specifically Candida albicans, which was the most commonly identified species in patients before treatment.
Overall, cat's claw appeared to be a viable topical option as an adjunct treatment for denture stomatitis related to yeast infections. This suggests that natural remedies might have a role alongside conventional treatments in managing such conditions.

We explored the potential of Uncaria tomentosa, commonly known as cat's claw, in fighting common endodontic pathogens, including Candida albicans, which is a yeast often associated with infections. The study involved creating suspensions of the microorganisms and testing various treatments on them, including cat's claw gel alone and in combination with chlorhexidine, a well-known antimicrobial agent.
After observing the effects, we found that the combination of 2% chlorhexidine and 2% cat's claw was particularly successful against the yeast and other pathogens. In fact, it produced the largest zones of inhibition, suggesting it was nearly the best contender in combating these infections. While cat's claw gel on its own did show some activity against the yeast, it was less effective than when used with chlorhexidine.
It's essential to mention that while cat's claw demonstrates some antimicrobial properties, the combination with chlorhexidine significantly enhances its effectiveness. Our findings imply potential applications for cat's claw in supporting oral health, particularly in addressing infections resulting from root-filled teeth. However, further research might be necessary to isolate its effects better and determine its role in treatments.

Thanks to this dietary supplement, I am still alive! The Ground Cat's Claw (CC) bark protects me from all infections, including coronavirus. My family and I consume it daily, and none of us have fallen ill. My wife, who drinks the extract, has seen her thyroid adenoma reduce! If you value your life, try this supplement—you won't regret it. None of us experienced any adverse reactions from the powder or extract. Kudos to the manufacturer!

Effective against infections

This product is remarkably powerful! It effectively eliminates infections far better than echinacea or garlic. At the first sign of an infection, I take it and within an hour, the symptoms vanish. The effect is long-lasting, and I won't bother with my other winter remedies anymore.

Strengthened immunity

Amazingly, I had serious immunity problems when I started taking cat's claw. I suffered from frequent infections and constant allergy attacks. For five months, I've taken it, and during this time, I haven't caught a cold, despite my family and colleagues suffering from influenza. My allergy symptoms have also significantly reduced. In the first month, I took two tablets daily, then decreased to one.
