More About Echinacea/Goldenseal/Cat’s Claw Complex
Due to its content of alkaloids (e.g. hydrastine, berberine, canadine), goldenseal exerts a broad spectrum of anti-bacterial activity against pathogens such as staphylococcus, streptomyces, chlamydia, corynebacterium diphtheria, escherichia coli, salmonella typhi, vibrio cholera, etc. Scientific evidence also points to a potent anti-fungal activity, which make it a useful treatment in dealing with candida albicans infection. This benefit, in tandem with its anti-bacterial effect have made goldenseal an especially attractive alternative to prescribed antibiotics, which are frequently the cause of fungal infections in the first place. Goldenseal has also demonstrated activity against many parasites, which along with its antibiotic properties is of great value in helping to prevent or treat 'traveller's diarrhoea' and many cases of food poisoning. The broad-spectrum anti-microbial capabilities of goldenseal have led to impressive results in studies involving the treatment of diarrhoea. Goldenseal displays soothing properties to inflamed mucous membranes, which along with its anti-microbial benefits, explains its frequent use in sinus, intestinal and urinary tract infections. Aside from directly killing pathogenic organisms, goldenseal's berberine alkaloids are potent immune boosting agents due primarily to raising white blood cell activity and improving blood supply to the spleen (a major organ of the immune system). Berberine has been shown to both stimulate bile secretion and correct metabolic abnormalities in liver dysfunction. The alkaloids in goldenseal inhibit the formation of polyamines, toxins produced in the intestines from the putrefaction of undigested protein by bacteria. Polyamines damage the integrity of the intestinal lining producing excessive permeability (leaky gut) and as such increase the risk of food allergies. If absorbed into the system polyamines are associated with triggering or exacerbating psoriasis and certain forms of arthritis (e.g. rheumatoid). Immune stimulant Certain components isolated from this herb, especially the alkaloid isopteropodine, have been found to increase phagocytosis (the ability of various white blood cells to attack and engulf harmful bacteria, viruses, etc.) Research suggests that cat's claw has potent anti-inflammatory actions on the entire digestive tract and joint tissues. Several polyphenols found in cat's claw exert a strong antioxidant/free radical scavenging activity. Cat's claw alkaloids such as mitraphylline, rhynchophylline and hirsutine have demonstrated blood pressure lowering and vasodilating properties. Rhynchophylline has also shown to inhibit platelet aggregation and thrombosis as well as lowering heart rate and blood cholesterol.

Herbs Many of today’s medicines were originally derived from botanicals. Aspirin once came from the white willow tree, quinine from the bark of the cinchona tree, and digitalis from foxglove. Herbs are still the basis for Chinese medicine and are important constituents of many European natural remedies. As Hippocrates said, “Let they food by thy medicine, thy medicine be thy food”. Some of the herbs available on this site are wild-crafted – grown in the wild – while others are meticulously cultivated on herb farms. Solgar Echinacea/Goldenseal/Cat's Claw Complex Vegicaps | |||||
