Immune Support With Samento From Nutramedix

Samento from Nutramedix is an herbal supplement and liquid extract that contains compounds that seek to support a normal inflammation response in a healthy immune system, have anti-microbial properties, support cognition and the central nervous system during normal aging, and provide antioxidant support. (1)

Nutramedix has formulated Samento with pentacyclic oxindole alkaloids (POAs) from the bark of the Uncaria tomentosa species of cat's claw plant. POAs are a chemotype found in cat's claw species of plants that research suggests may provide optimal medicinal support by promoting a healthy immune system response in the body.

This formula does not contain tetracyclic oxindole alkaloids (TOAs), which are found in some cat's claw plants. Some practitioners suggest avoiding TOAs when taking cat's claw supplements.

Immune, Brain, and Microbial Support with Samento

The compounds in this Samento formula have many potential medicinal benefits. One potential use includes combining Uncaria tomentosa with Banderol, an extract from Otoba parvifolia.

These two herbal substances have been suggested to help in managing Borrelia burgdorferi species and different morphological forms that cause Lyme borreliosis. When used in combination with antibiotics, such as doxycycline, these formulas may offer optimal support for persistent Lyme disease, but research into this use is ongoing. (2)

When looking at joint health, one clinical trial examined the potential use of Uncaria tomentosa extract to provide temporary relief from occasional pain and swelling, including other symptoms sometimes associated with inflammation. (3)

In a human study on patients with osteoarthritis of the knee, patients taking Uncaria tomentosa extracts experienced fewer symptoms. In an animal study, Uncaria tomentosa was found to support respiratory function in mice with respiratory inflammation. (4)

Ongoing research is also looking into the effect of Uncaria tomentosa extracts on brain plaques and tangles that are sometimes associated with age-related declines in normal cognition, memory, and general neurological function. (5)

History of Cat’s Claw

The earliest recorded use of cat's claw dates nearly 2,000 years to ward off disease. Its use was thought to be most common in South America and Central America, where it grows natively as a woody vine in the Amazon rainforest and tropical areas, including Peru.

The name cat's claw comes from how the plant's thorns resemble a cat's claws. It is also sometimes referred to as una de gato.

Cat’s claw and its related extracts are still in use today, and clinical research is examining its potential for medicinal use.
