Land Purchased for Collecting
Whole World Botanicals has purchased land in the Peruvian desert in order to have a steady supply of this Peruvian weed.

Special Formulation
Royal Lucraco Plus^TM has highly anti-inflammatory effects. This combination product was developed by a holistic medical team in Peru. It contains Lucraco (Waltheria ovata) and Cat’s Claw (Uncaria tomentosa) in an alcohol/water-based extract with vegetable glycerin added. One serving equals one teaspoon of pleasant-tasting syrup.

Clinical Usage Demonstrated Effectiveness
This product was used extensively by Dr. Robert Atkins in his New York medical clinic for several years. They dropped their previous protocol of African Pygeum and Saw Palmetto (plus zinc and B6) after seeing superior results with Royal Lucraco Plus^TM.

Lucraco is a weedy plant that grows in the coastal desert of Peru. The medicinal part of the plant is the root. Lucraco roots contain plant actives that provide powerful antioxidants for the prostate and the entire body.* In Peru, both men and women drink a tea made from this root as a health tonic.

Through Scientific Research, Lucraco has demonstrated the following properties:

• In research by a Peruvian Naturopathic Doctor and a Peruvian plant pharmacologist, Royal Lucraco Plus^TM has been shown to reduce prostate enlargement in 8 days and lower PSA level in 6-8 weeks*
• Reduces nighttime (and daytime) urination within 8 days of starting the product, if taken as directed 3 times a day*
• Contains tannins, leucoantocianidines, saponines and free phenenolic groups*

Cat’s Claw (called Uña de Gato in Spanish) is the bark and root parts of a woody vine which grows in the Peruvian Amazon. Whole World Botanicals uses Uncaria tomentosa in its Royal Lucraco Plus^TM because it is the most potent species of this plant and offers unique benefits listed below.

Modern science confirms these beneficial uses:

• To strengthen the immune system*
• To act as an anti-inflammatory that reduces inflammation in auto-immune conditions, including lupus, asthma, arthritis, Crohn’s Disease, etc.*
• To reduce CRP (C-reactive protein) in the blood – helps prevent plaque buildup in arteries*
• To increase cell death of abnormal cells*
• To repair DNA of mutated cells*
• To lower blood pressure*
• To support brain health/cognitive function*
• By some researchers suggest that more research is needed on Uncaria tomentosa as a preventative for Alzheimer’s because of links to inflammation. Initial research looks promising.*
