Devil’s Claw Pure Herbs Liquid Extract has been found effective in the treatment of some cases of “arthritis type problems”, especially where the bones are crumbling, there is pain or inflammation or any combination thereof. This action appears to be due to the presence of a glycoside (a class of compounds occurring in plants composed of a natural form of glucose sugar and one or two other products which often have medicinal properties) called harpagoside that reduces inflammation in the joints. Devil’s Claw Pure Herbs Liquid Extract is not effective in all kinds of “arthritis problems”, but it is well worth considering in cases where there is inflammation and pain and or the bones are crumbling. Devil’s Claw Pure Herbs Liquid Extract also helps relieve liver & gall-bladder complaints.
In supplement form, devil’s claw is derived from the dried roots of the plant. African and European traditional and folk doctors have prescribed devil’s claw for centuries to treat digestive ills, reduce fever, relieve pain and to treat certain pregnancy symptoms. (2)
Often, it is hypothesized that devil’s claw benefits originate from the valuable iridoid glucosides it contains, including harpagoside. Iridoids are anti-inflammatory compounds found mostly in plants and are bound to glucose molecules. This is why the whole compound is called an iridoid glucoside. (3) Devil’s claw root, according to the European Scientific Cooperative on Phytotherapy (ESCOP), should contain at least one percent harpagoside.
Devil’s claw also contains useful bioflavonoids and phytosterols, which are plant-based antioxidants with antispasmodic properties (which supports the use of this supplement for digestive problems).
