OVERVIEW

We’ve set the absolute advantage

Digestive problems can spoil the enjoyment of a good meal. But today, there’s a new, natural way to enjoy a healthy digestion. It’s called Prodigest® , a unique, proven combination of artichoke leaves and ginger extracts from Indena.

Ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) has long been used in Indian and Chinese medicine against gastrointestinal disorders such as indigestion, flatulence, fever, nausea and vomiting1 . At the same time artichoke leaves extract (Cynara cardunculus L.) has also been employed in traditional medicine since long time to treat dyspepsia.2

The use of nutritional supplement for the management of conditions like digestive unpleasant conditions may represent a valid alternative, especially to avoid side effects that can occur with traditional prokinetic remedies2 .

For this reason, Prodigest® can stand alone as the Natural Digestive Relief.

Prodigest® Into action

Prodigest® shows effects in managing digestive discomforts, and improving gastric motility.1,2

Its beneficial activities on gastric emptying are mostly dependent upon the peculiar molecular actions of ginger extract constituents, such as gingerol1.

On the other hand, complementary actions exerted by the artichoke extract result in an effective relief in subjects with digestion discomforts1 .
