Peer-reviewed science on PRODIGEST®
A safe alternative
for gastric emptying1
Prodigest® facilitates gastric emptying in a dose-dependent manner.
After a meal administered with Prodigest®, the after-meal gastric area of 11 volunteers is significantly smaller in the administrated group (-24%) compared with the not-administrated one (8.4 cm2 versus 11.0 cm2). Further, with a double dose of PRODIGEST®, the after-meal gastric area is 6.4 cm2.

Digestive discomforts are not a problem anymore2
Prodigest® is safe and beneficial in digestive discomforts. A group of 65 people (18-70 years) with digestive discomforts receiving Prodigest® for 4 weeks shows a significant positive effect in 86.2% of cases, after 28 days of Prodigest® administration, with marked effect on digestive discomforts in 63.1% of the cases.
The statistical analysis demonstrate a significant effect on intensity score for epigastric stress over the observation time, too.
