FIND OUT MORE ABOUT HARPAGOPHYTUM

A farmer by the name of GA Menhert who lived there had noticed that the tribes used harpagophytum in decoction to soothe many ailments, particularly wounds.

Witnessing astonishing healings, he decided to take harpagophytum roots to the Max Planck Institute in Munich, which identified their beneficial active ingredients, notably harpagosides. In 1958, still in Germany, the beneficial action of these roots was proven.

Today, harpagophytum is recognized worldwide as the medicinal plant par excellence for joint inflammation, tendonitis, osteoarthritis, arthritis, sciatica, low back pain, rheumatism and all related major aches and pains.

Used both to prevent pain and to soothe it quickly, this plant is a real asset for athletes (sprains or tendonitis) and senior citizens alike, as it is a 100% natural product with very few side effects.

Its trumpet-shaped flowers are reddish-purple and its roots, which form large tubers, consist of a main root that goes deep into the earth to seek moisture, and lateral roots known as "secondary" roots.

Researchers have shown that the root extract of this plant, rich in hapagosides, is able to combat an enzyme responsible for inflammatory reactions (COX-2) in the body.

But others have shown that concentrating the plant's active ingredients in "extracts" has its limits, as the plant matrix (all the natural constituents of the plant powder) plays a vital role in the efficacy of the hapagosides.

This is why the PRONATUR laboratory has been working for many years on the "TOTUM" effect, mixing powder and extract in the same product to defy the laws of nature and prove that 1=1 > 2!

POWDER (100% plant) + EXTRACT (active molecule) = TOTUM EFFECT
