Samento (Pentacyclic Alkaloid Type Uncaria tomentosa) is a powerful medicinal plant, approved as a medicine in Ecuador in 2004. Government officials have allowed 3 drug claims to be used: anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and immune system modulator.
Some of the beneficial properties of Samento are attributed to the pentacyclic oxindole alkaloids (POAs) that are found in the plant that act on the cellular immune system and demonstrate powerful immune system modulating properties. Samento does not contain the tetracyclic oxindole alkaloids (TOAs) that are found in traditional Cat's Claw. TOAs disrupt central nervous system function and greatly inhibit the effects of the POAs.
Some researchers believe that Samento may be as much as 1,000 times more effective than Cat’s Claw. One difference between Samento and Cat's Claw is that Cat's Claw is an immune system stimulant and Samento is an immune system modulator. Also, Samento can be used to treat all autoimmune disorders.
In May 2005, pharmacological studies were conducted in laboratory rodents at the University of Guayaquil, Ecuador. The anti-inflammatory effect study showed that Nutramedix Samento extract inhibits inflammation by 83.8%.
There are no known contraindications, no known side effects and no known interactions with other drugs when using Samento. In May 2005, toxicology studies were conducted on Nutramedix Samento at the University of Guayaquil, Ecuador. No toxic effects were reported even when laboratory rodents received 120,000 times the equivalent human dose.
The Samento Liquid Extract is a water/alcohol extract of TOA-free cat’s claw. It is made from a TOA-free cat’s claw powder that contains 0.5 percent POA.
The Samento 600 mg capsule is made from a TOA-free cat’s claw powder that contains 0.5 percent POA, yielding 3 mg (3,000 mcg) POA per capsule.
Physicians working with NutraMedix have reported from their clinical experience that just one drop of the liquid Samento extract is functionally equivalent to one 600 mg powder capsule. This is not surprising, since most herbalists would agree that a water/alcohol extract is the best way to liberate the bioactive compounds (POAs, quinovic acid glycosides, triterpenes, etc.) from the plant fiber matrix of the powdered herb. Many people who have tried the liquid Samento extract initially experience a Herxheimer (“die-off”) reaction from just one or two drops, twice daily, a clear sign of the potency of the liquid extract.
Nutramedix recommends 5-15 drops in 3-4 ounces of pure water
SHAKE WELL BEFORE EACH USE.
Maintenance Dosage: 5 to 15 drops per day for adults (children 2-10 drops) on an empty stomach at least 30 minutes before eating, in 1/2 cup of water; may be taken as one daily dosage if desired.
Therapeutic Dosage: Begin with one drop in 1/2 to 1 cup of water per day. Then, increase the dosage by one drop every day to 5 drops daily. Then build up 15-25 drops two times per day.
Note: A few patients may experience a healing crisis with as little as one drop. If experiencing an acute healing crisis or unable to tolerate entry level dosage discontinue use, follow a detoxification protocol for 3 days and resume 1/4 drop per day (1 drop in 1 cup of water and drink 1/4 of water). Increase dosage by 1/4 drop each day building up to 5 drops a day, then build up to the maxiumum dose. Higher doses may be required for more severe conditions.
