Cats Claw (Una de gato), Synergistic Energy
and Anti-Inflammatory Rainforest Herbs
For Athletic Performance and Recovery Formula

CataGesic™ is a unique combination of Rainforce™ herbs and standardized herbal extracts that nutritionally support athletic performance and help speed recovery. It contains herbs that have been used by indigenous tribes of the rainforest for centuries that contain the best energy enhancers for increased stamina and endurance. CataGesic also contains natural, safe anabolic phytosterols for muscle development and herbs used for their muscle toning, relaxing, anti-inflammatory and analgesic benefits. CataGesic is designed to increase energy, stamina and endurance, support muscle growth, as well as reduce pain and recovery time resulting from strenuous activities. So valued are these benefits, the indigenous rainforest people have used them for generations. The anti-inflammatory properties of Cat's Claw are well-researched and documented around the world and CataGesic provides a full 8 mg of pure oxindole alkaloids per tablet from a proprietary 4% Cat's Claw standardized extract. This provides more beneficial alkaloids than other Cat's Claw products, which typically contain only 1 to 5 mg of alkaloids. CataGesic provides the first available formula ever which contains the fantastic Chuchuhuasi, a rainforest herb in process of being patented by a major U.S. pharmaceutical company for its anti-inflammatory properties for use with arthritis. The other synergistic herbs in this great Rainforce formula make it a very effective and unique product.

The synergistic effects of all of them working together in this great formula is what makes it so unique and highly effective.

POWER OF CAT'S CLAW
Cat's Claw, also referred to as "Una de gato", is the new North American leader in important medicinal plants and comes from the South American Peruvian Rainforest. Six oxindole alkaloids have been isolated in the inner bark of the plant and have been proven to provide a general boost to the immune system. Other alkaloids and phytochemicals (glycosides) present in Cat's Claw have been isolated and tested and are shown to provide pronounced natural anti-inflammatory benefits. As a true adaptogen with almost unlimited therapeutic applications, Cat's Claw has been called by experts as a "World Class Herb," a "Miracle Herb" and a "Sacred Herb of the Rainforest." Health care providers are now using it successfully with their arthritic patients for its anti-inflammatory and immune-stimulating properties.

The alkaloid content of the Cat's Claw plant varies depending on quality. It ranges from 0.1% to 1.0% total alkaloids. Most Cat's Claw products contain as little as only 1 to 5 mg of alkaloids, which are actually bound to tannins. In Cats Claw bark, the alkaloids and tannins actually form a complex, which is not bioavailable without an acid to break it apart. The alkaloids contained in Life Plus CataGesic have been standardized, utilizing a proprietary process to not only contain 4% oxindole alkaloids but also break apart the alkaloid-tannin complex. Very importantly, this makes the alkaloids 100% bioavailable. Consequently, a full 8 mg of pure bioavailable oxindole alkaloids is contained in each CataGesic tablet. This is up to eight times more than other Cats Claw capsules sold today!

SYNERGISTIC DYNAMIC RAINFOREST HERBS
The principle rainforest herbs used for their synergistic effects during athletic training and recovery include Chuchuhuasi, Cat's Claw and Muira Puama because of their natural anti-arthritic, anti-rheumatic and anti-inflammatory properties. Chuchuhuasi may well become the next highly important rainforest plant to follow Cat's Claw in the newest rainforest discoveries. A major pharmaceutical company is developing newly discovered phytochemicals found in Chuchuhuasi bark, which are highly anti-inflammatory. The indigenous name of this huge tree translates to "trembling bark", which describes the indigenous tribes century long use of the Chuchuhuasi for arthritis and rheumatism and which led modern day researchers to discover its properties.

Suma is another powerful herb, which is by far the most well-researched. Studies dating back to 1968 reveal that Suma enhanced muscle building without producing the negative hormonal side effects steroids are noted for. By 1976, Suma was labeled the "Russian Secret" when supplementation with Suma by the Russian Olympic team gave them the competitive edge in the 1976 Olympic games. CataGesic contains a new proprietary standardized extract of Suma, which provides 5% Ecdysterones and Saponins. These are active ingredients found in Suma, which are thought to provide its benefits.

Yerba Maté and Muira Puama are strong tonics and nervous system fortifiers; Maca and Yerba Maté are dynamic energy tonics used throughout the rainforest to increase stamina and endurance. Sarsaparilla is used to support circulation, clear toxins and stimulate metabolism, while Iporuru nutritionally supports muscles and joints as well as provides natural analgesic. Cat's Claw and Sarsaparilla are both known for their oxygenating properties and Tayuya helps the body remove accumulating lactic acid in muscle tissue. Tayuya also has well-known analgesic properties, while Suma and Maca have a natural nutritional muscle building effect.

UNLOCKING THE SECRETS OF THE RAINFOREST
In addition to supporting athletic performance and recovery, many of the plants in CataGesic have been used successfully by the indigenous tribes against symptoms of arthritis and rheumatism for centuries. In addition to the plants being used for their analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, the added benefits of increased stamina and energy, plus overall muscle toning and growth, could provide the arthritis sufferer with many beneficial effects. Many secrets and untold treasures await discovery with the medicinal plants used by the indigenous people of the rainforest. CataGesic, one of the great Life Plus RAINFORCE products, provides the ancient rainforest tribal secrets of improved energy, stamina, endurance and muscle growth as well as the secrets of the rainforest in the prevention of arthritis.

PRESERVING THE RAINFOREST
All botanicals contained in CataGesic have been ecologically harvested by indigenous tribes to protect natural resources of the rainforest and it's people. Education and a new income source from harvesting sustainable natural resources, like the herbs contained in CataGesic and all Life Plus Rainforce products, helps provide an alternative to destroying our valuable rainforests.

HOW TO USE CATAGESIC
Take one tablet twice a day between meals. Drink plenty of water to assist the body's natural processes. During times of special need, two to three tablets, two to three times per day as needed.
