Vilcacora is commonly known in traditional Peruvian medicine. Heals from digestive ailments, arthritis, wounds, and even cancer. Today, it’s one of the most popular herbs sold in the USA.
Vilcacory research
Vilcacory's research began in 1970 and has so far been carried out by scientists from Peru, Germany, Austria and England. The most attention is given to oxoindole alkaloids, which can be found in the bark and roots of Vilcacora (Cats Claw), which excite the immune system.
The most active immunologically alkaloid is Isomer A (Isopteropodin), which increases immunity in the body and acts as an antioxidant, removing free radicals. Compounds in Vilcacor can also kill viruses, bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms that cause illness. And also stop cancerous tumor cells. It’s suggested that the Vilcacora extract has a direct effect on the anti-proliferative activity in MCF-7 (breast cancer cell line).
Vilcacora for cancer and AIDS
Vilcacora is used as a medicine to help treat cancer and AIDS and for all other diseases that negatively affect the immune system. The presence of glycosides, proanthocyanidins and beta-sitosterol provides antiviral and anti-inflammatory effects.
Vilcacora for arthritis
Vilcacory's anti-inflammatory properties help to alleviate arthritis. Immunostimulation by suppressing TNF-alpha synthesis is the main mechanism of anti-inflammatory activity of Koci Claw.
Vilcacora for intestinal and stomach diseases
Vilcacora (Cats Claw) supports the work of the intestines and cleanses the digestive system. Such cleansing is recommended for people with gastrointestinal diseases, including: colitis, Lesniowski-Crohn's disease and irritable bowel syndrome.
