- PRODIGEST® Features and Benefits
PRODIGEST® is a standardized combination of artichoke leaves and ginger roots extracts.
This original synergy has been proven effective in managing digestive discomforts and gastric motility.
Two human studies demonstrated the significant benefits of this combination:
- PRODIGEST® is effective after short-term treatment in optimizing, by 34% over placebo, symptoms related to digestive discomforts like epigastric fullness, bloating, early satiety. Overall, 86% of the participants reported a marked discomfort amelioration
- PRODIGEST® significantly supports gastric emptying by 24% over placebo, without being associated with notable adverse effects.
- Product Overview
- 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.
- 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 remedies.
- For this reason, Prodigest® can stand alone as the Natural Digestive Relief.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Scientific Evidence
Two human studies with PRODIGEST® have shown reduced gastric motility symptoms related to digestive discomforts.
- Prodigest® Into Action
- Prodigest® shows effects in managing digestive discomforts, and improving gastric motility.
- Its beneficial activities on gastric emptying are mostly dependent upon the peculiar molecular actions of ginger extract constituents, such as gingerol.
- On the other hand, complementary actions exerted by the artichoke extract result in an effective relief in subjects with digestion discomforts.
