Vitaminity Ajuga reptans Extract 10:1 500mg

Ajuga reptans Extract 500mg food supplement is the new single-component food supplement of the Vitaminity line based on Ajuga Reptans 10: 1 dry extract in a dosage of 500 mg per capsule.

Ajuga reptans, also known as bugle or St. Lawrence's wort, is a perennial herbaceous plant widespread throughout Europe up to Asia Minor.

One of its main active ingredients is the phenylpropanoid teupolioside which, in addition to a strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action, was found to modulate the activity of testosterone by acting on the 5 alpha-reductase enzyme by inhibiting it.

Being an inhibitor of 5-alpha-reductase, an enzyme involved in the transformation of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), it is also used as a natural adjuvant in the treatment of male and female androgenetic alopecia (AGA) to counteract the process of miniaturization of the hair follicle that determines a shortening of the growth phase (anagen) and miniaturization of the hair.

Thanks to its inhibitory power, the Vitaminity Ajuga Reptans Extract 10: 1 500 mg supplement is also ideal in the treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). In fact, one of the main causes that favor prostate enlargement is an excessive level of DHT. Therefore, by inhibiting the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme, the transformation of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone is inhibited and the volumetric growth of benign prostatic hypertrophy is reduced.
