    I am taking this cat's claw powder as a part of the Buhner herbal protocol for Lyme disease and the protocol is working great. The product seems to be of good quality and the price is reasonable. Another thing I love about 1st Chinese Herbs is that they work hard to ensure low heavy metal content in their herbs. I buy my herbs here whenever possible.

  • Very with this.
