ENOTprost® for male wellness

Let prostate problems fly away with the right ingredient. ENOTprost® has proven strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities

Prostatic ailments are among the most common urologic problems in adult males. BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia) is the third most frequent urologic diagnosis in men over 50, although prostatitis can also affect young people, especially sportsmen and cyclists. Prostatic ailments share inflammation and oxidative stress as risk factors and cause of chronicity.

ENOTprost® epilobium extract

Epilobium angustifolium L. (Onagraceae) is a well-known European plant traditionally used for prostatic ailments such as prostatitis and BPH. ENOTprost® from EPO Srl is a dry extract with a very rich phytocomplex containing more than 15 % of Oenothein B. It is a strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant ingredient for innovative food supplements.

Oenothein B content

The metabolic profile of ENOTprost® was studied simulating the oro-gastroduodenal digestion and the gastro-resistant oral administration (duodenal digestion). In this latter case, the phytocomplex variety and chemical profile was very similar to the native extract. The digested extract still contained 20 compounds, among which there were organic acids, hydroxycinnamic acids and many flavonols. Moreover, miquelianin, the major flavonoid glycoside that only characterises the E. angustifolium species, was identified in the digested extract.

Strong anti-inflammatory activity

In vitro tests demonstrated that pre-treatment of prostatic cells with ENOTprost® followed by lipopolysaccharide induced inflammation, strongly reduces TNF-α production. TNF-α is one of the most important pro-inflammatory cytokines.

ENOTprost® enhances cellular antioxidant defence

In vitro tests demonstrated that treatment of prostatic cells with ENOTprost® enhances cellular antioxidant defences by increasing the level of SOD1. This enzyme is one of the most important endogenous antioxidant defence mechanisms.
