Cats Claw (Uncaria tomentosa)

What Is Cat's Claw?

Cat's claw is a common name for Uncaria tomentosa, a woody climbing vine native to the Amazon rainforest and parts of Central and South America. The plant takes its name from the small curved thorns along its stems. At HITT, cat's claw is carried as flavored chewable and extract tablets rather than loose herb, with each product naming Uncaria tomentosa on the label and listing a per tablet strength. Every cat's claw product here is labeled a kratom free botanical, so the category sits on its own rather than with kratom.

Because these are tablets rather than raw plant material, the two numbers that matter most are the strength per tablet and the number of tablets per pack. The sections below break down the formats, strengths, and flavors so you can compare products side by side.

Cat's Claw Tablet Formats

Cat's claw at HITT comes mainly as chewable tablets and extract tablets. Chewable cat's claw tablets are flavored pieces you chew, which means no water is needed, while extract tablets concentrate the Uncaria tomentosa into a measured piece. Most are sold in small counts, from a single tablet to a few per pack, and a kava blend shot pairs cat's claw with kava in a drinkable format. Picking a format is mostly about whether you want a chewable tablet or a liquid, and how many servings you want per purchase.

Cat's Claw Strengths and Counts

Cat's claw tablets list a strength in milligrams per tablet, commonly from around 100mg up to 600mg, and a count per pack. A single 100mg tablet and a 600mg multi tablet pack are very different purchases, so the per tablet strength is the figure to compare, along with how many tablets come in the pack. Some labels show both a per tablet strength and a total across the pack, which makes it easy to see what you are buying. If you are new to a brand, a lower count pack is a simple way to try a flavor before buying more.

Cat's Claw Flavors

Because these are chewable tablets, flavor is part of the choice. Common cat's claw tablet flavors include blue razz, green apple, watermelon, strawberry, and grape, and some brands sell variety packs that mix several in one box. If flavor matters to you, check the product page for the available options before you buy, since the flavor list varies by brand and pack. The kava blend shot is a separate, drinkable format with its own flavor.

Reading a Cat's Claw Label

A clear cat's claw label names the plant as cat's claw or Uncaria tomentosa, states the format as a chewable or extract tablet, and lists the strength per tablet along with the count. Many labels also note that the product is a kratom free botanical, which separates this category from kratom on the site. If a product lists a per tablet strength and a total for the pack, you can compare it directly against another tablet by those numbers. Favoring labels that are specific about the plant, the strength, and the count makes it easier to line up two products that look similar at a glance.

How to Buy Cat's Claw

Start with the format, then check the per tablet strength, the count, and the flavor. Read the label to confirm it names cat's claw or Uncaria tomentosa, and note that every cat's claw product at HITT is listed as a kratom free botanical. Keep tablets sealed and stored in a cool, dry place away from children and pets. Cat's claw at HITT is sold for adults 21 and over and is intended to be used as directed on the label.
