Fadogia Agrestis – Premium 20:1 extract (600 mg per capsule)

Fadogia agrestis is a concentrated herbal dietary supplement made from the stem extract of the Fadogia plant, which grows naturally in tropical areas of West Africa. The plant has a long tradition in local herbal medicine where it was used in connection with general vitality and physical activity. This product contains a highly concentrated 20:1 extract equivalent to 12,000 mg of dried plant material per capsule and is manufactured in the UK to GMP standards. The capsules are 100% vegan, free of fillers, binders and artificial additives. Fadogia agrestis is rich in natural plant substances such as saponins, alkaloids and flavonoids which are increasingly being investigated in laboratory models for their phytochemical properties and possible roles in the cells' handling of oxidative stress. There are no EFSA-approved health claims for Fadogia agrestis.

Summary
Fadogia agrestis is a traditional plant that has been used for several generations in parts of Africa as a well-being herb. Modern analyzes show that the plant contains bioactive compounds that have gained research interest in biochemistry and cell physiology. In preclinical studies, extracts are examined for effects on inflammatory markers, antioxidative capacity and adaptive cell response. These findings cannot be transferred to documented health effects in humans, but they illustrate why the plant is relevant in plant research. The product is suitable for adults who want a concentrated herbal extract as part of a varied lifestyle.

Health benefits
