Petadolex® -
Petadolex is a natural, herbal supplement made from butterbur that has been proven to reduce the frequency and intensity of migraine attacks. Petadolex was developed in the 1970s and has been used throughout Europe for over 25 years. Petadolex is manufactured by Weber and Weber, a renown German pharmaceutical company. Petadolex was patented in the US in 2003 and has been gaining in popularity due to doctor referrals and articles in medical journals such as Headache and Neurology.
What Is It?
Butterbur is a perennial shrub with a 2,000-year history of
traditional use. In the last twenty-five years, it has been
trusted extensively throughout Europe by neurologists
and other health professionals. It has been studied for
healthy cranial vessel support.*
Uses For Petadolex®
Cranial Vessel Support: In one clinical trial with 60
participants, Petadolex showed the potential to support
cranial vessel comfort and was well tolerated. After a
twelve-week period, almost eighty percent of participants
supplementing with Petadolex indicated a supportive
effect. In part, the mechanism for this action may involve
a supportive spasmolytic effect on smooth muscle in
cranial blood vessels. A second study with 229 individuals
indicated similar positive results. In this trial, optimal
dosing of Petadolex provided significant support
compared to placebo within one month. After three
months, over seventy percent of individuals experienced
a positive outcome.*
Maintain Healthy Histamine Release: A petasin-containing
butterbur extract has been shown to maintain healthy
histamine and cytokine release. In two clinical trials,
butterbur maintained healthy nasal histamine release
and leukotriene activity, supporting both subjective and
objective parameters.*
What Is The Source?
Petadolex® is a patented form of butterbur extracted
