ac-11® is an all-natural, safe, and effective aqueous extract of Uncaria tomentosa, a medicinal plant indigenous to the Amazon rainforest. Manufactured using a proprietary process, our extract provides a broad spectrum of health benefits, primarily directed towards systemic DNA repair. A gift from the rainforest, ac-11® is the perfect joining of nature’s secrets with advanced phytonutrient science.

Scientists have determined that when the body is subjected to external stressors such as overexposure to the Sun (UV radiation), strenuous exercise, pollution, and/or the general effects of aging, our DNA is damaged. Such cumulative DNA damage has been scientifically confirmed as a causative factor in the age-onset disease.

In a series of peer-reviewed scientific and clinical studies conducted by third-party laboratories and university medical centers, ac-11® has been proven to help the body’s natural ability to repair its own DNA.

The primary active ingredients of ac-11® are formed by the complex molecular chains known as CAEs (Carboxy Alkyl Esters). CAEs are responsible for approximately 90% of ac-11®’s therapeutic benefits. Our studies demonstrate that our patented technology:

  1. Helps the body’s natural ability to repair its own DNA

  2. Enhances the immune system by increasing the life cycle of white blood cells

  3. Repairs neural function damaged by overexposure to high decibel noise

  4. Helps to normalize the expression of NF-KB, thereby regulating the cellular response to systemic inflammation

  5. Maintains telomere length and integrity during the process of cellular mitosis

  6. Increases production of natural collagen III, a form of collagen associated with soft, supple, youthful-looking skin

ac-11® differs from all other Uncaria tomentosa extracts, most of which are sold under the common name “cat’s claw,” in that its molecular composition is distinct. Such distinction is achieved through an ultra-filtration process that produces a low weight (less than 10,000 Daltons) bioavailable, scientifically indole alkaloid free (less than 0.05 ppm) extract.

The inner bark of the plant (Uncaria tomentosa) used to manufacture ac-11® is harvested in the Amazon rainforests of Brazil and Peru utilizing an eco-friendly and renewable process.

ac-11® is shipped in 25-kilo drums from an FDA registered facility in Sarasota, Florida.

Backed by 20 years of research and development, ac-11® is used in both dietary supplements and advanced cosmetics to repair skin damaged by overexposure to the sun, restore optimal cellular function, and promote healthy aging.
