Using a liquid extraction allows us to capture compounds from this tough, woody herb that would otherwise remain locked within the plant material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce extraction is complete, the alcohol is gently removed under vacuum at low temperatures. This allows us to produce a concentrated herbal extract while avoiding the prolonged high temperatures that can occur with conventional evaporation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe concentrated Cat’s Claw extract is then blended with vegetable glycerine and purified Grander water, leaving a completely alcohol-free finished product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike tablets, capsules or powders containing bulk dried plant material, our liquid herbal extracts contain the compounds drawn from the herb during extraction. This provides Cat’s Claw in a concentrated, easy-to-take form without synthetic binders, fillers, coatings or unnecessary additives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocally Made with Integrity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Every bottle of NatroVital Cat’s Claw is made here in Australia in small batches.
