History
Uncaria is one of the most famous creeping plants found in the Peruvian Andes. Depending on the effects found, Uncaria has become an integral part of traditional Peruvian medicine, which for 2,000 years has played an important role in solving various ailments, not only among indigenous tribes. According to Indian tradition, this powerful plant was even considered the „sacred plant of the Incas“. In the past, Uncaria bark was mainly used by the indigenous population, which did not mean such a great loss for the rainforest. Over time, however, the demand for this plant has multiplied significantly due to its observed effects. Nevertheless, the Peruvian government intervened early on and imposed annual limits. The limits set regulate the extraction of Uncaria and thus prevent its extinction.
Origin and cultivation
Uncaria originates in Peru, specifically in the Peruvian Andes. It can be found in the local rainforests because it grows exclusively in soil rich in organic nutrients and requires relatively high humidity. Green rainforests full of swamps and diverse vegetation are simply indispensable for this climbing plant. Uncaria cannot be grown in the field or in a greenhouse, which is why it is so rare. It is a woody climbing liana with visible woody spines or „claws“ on its stem. The plant uses its claws to grip the trunks of trees it climbs, without causing any harm to them. The individual spines resemble cat claws in appearance and function. Thus, Uncaria is often referred to as cat's claw. It can grow up to 30 m in length over decades. Its bark, from which the resulting powder is obtained, is especially valued for its beneficial effects.
Ingredients and properties
The uniqueness of Vilcacora lies in its exceptional composition. Uncaria is an important source of a wide range of phytochemicals, which are contained in the bark of this plant. Vilcacora is made from the outer part of the bark.

Vilcacora prý dokáže zmírnit následky špatné skladby stravy. Tak to se bude po vánocích hodit. Také snižuje záněty v těle ,což se může hodit lidem s revmatoidní artritidou. Já přidávám Vilcacoru ráno do jogurtu .Má lehce hořkou chuť ,ale když jogurt ochutíte třeba třtinovou šťávou od Bewit, tak se z jogurtu stane dobrota. Doporučuji.

Kdysi jsem četla na internetu zajímavé články o Kočičím drápu a jeho mnohých příznivých účincích. Víte, že této rostliny existuje cca 20 druhů, ale jen 2 jsou silně léčivé. Liší se tvarem svých drápů – viz obrázky. Jednoho dne jsem si všimla, že ho máme i v e-shopu Bewitu, tak jsem si ho objednala. Hned jak balíček dorazil jsem Vilcacoru použila. Právě jsem vyráběla u nás oblíbenou pomazánku z tvarohu, česneku, Spiruliny, rakytníkového oleje a soli, a „vrazila“ jsem do ní (jako Dobromila Rettigová), i 2 vrchovaté kávové lžičky naší Vilcacory. Vůbec mě v tom tvořivém zápalu nenapadlo ochutnat ten prášek předem. Důkladně vše promíchám, olíznu lžičku od onoho v mé kuchyni nového produktu a zkoprněla jsem! Silná hořkost mi zkřivila ústa. To nebude nikdo jíst! Pomyslela jsem si. Ale přece to nevyhodím – dala jsem tam samé zdravé věci!. Misku s pomazánkou jsem uložila do ledničky, a minimálně 2 hodiny sbírala odvahu k ochutnání mého díla. K večeru už byla má zvědavost silnější, než obavy, tak jsem si udělala v topinkovači toust a namazala ho vrstvou oné pomazánky. A světe div se, přesto, že byla hořká, chutnala mi. Vzpomněla jsem si na staré úsloví, které říká, že „co je hořké, to je zdravé“. Namotivovala jsem tím i syna a pomazánka sklidila úspěch! Ona ta hořkost už nebyla tak silná a dokonce dala pomazánce zajímavou chuť. Všechno jsme snědli. Příště dám o něco méně Kočičího drápu a bude ještě lahodnější. Od té doby jsem Vilcacoru použila i do snídaňové ovesné kaše s brusinkami a medem – tentokrát v rozumnějším množství, a opět mi chutnala. I v nápojích je ta mírná hořkost zajímavá. Vždyť Fernet, Becherovka… také mnohým chutná (jako že humor). Tak se toho drápu nebojte a zkuste ho také. Jen dejte pozor na množství a možné kontraindikace (viz. popis u produktu). My v mojí rodině ho můžeme všichni bez problémů a rádi používat i nadále. Vždyť je to pro zdraví.
