Cat’s Claw: Let’s Separate the Herb From the Headlines
There’s been a lot of confusion surrounding cat’s claw following the recent Utah warnings involving products marketed as “cat’s claw.”
Here’s the important distinction:
🌿 Authentic cat’s claw (Uncaria tomentosa) is a legitimate botanical traditionally used in herbal medicine.
⚠️ The recent warning was associated with adulterated products sold as cat’s claw that authorities found contained undisclosed kratom-derived compounds and synthetic analogs.
That is a very different issue from the botanical itself.
For consumers and businesses, this highlights something that should matter across the entire botanical industry:
Know what’s actually in the product.
✅ Proper botanical identification
✅ Transparent labeling
✅ Third-party testing
✅ Reliable raw-material sourcing
✅ Certificates of analysis (COAs)
At Natroxi, we believe the future of botanicals depends on transparency, responsible sourcing, and science—not fear or misinformation.
Real botanicals. Real transparency. Real responsibility.
