Devil's Claw (100 caps)

A blood purifying herb Harpagophytum procumbens.
A popular African folk "total body healer" remedy, especially for rheumatism and liver as well as kidney disorders.
A German clinical arthritis study showed anti-inflammatory activity comparable to phenylbutazone along with reduction in pain, uric acid and blood cholesterol.
Animal tests, however, usually show little benefit.
Some European clinics have good results with most arthritis patients.
Results usually begin to show within the second or third week of use. Best results seem to show when the tubers are used rather than any other part.
Devil's Claw grows in harsh African deserts and uses its tubers to store water and other vital chemicals.
Devil's Claw is also recommended for liver and gall bladder complaints.
The belief that Devil's Claw can cause early labor or abortion have been largely disproved.
Nature's Sunshine only uses the secondary roots or tubers which contain twice as much anti-inflammatory glucoside as the primary roots.
