Cerebral Blood Vessels
A randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study, carried out at the Munich-Harlaching Municipal Hospital, verifies the success of Petadolex to maintain smooth muscle tone in cerebral blood vessels, as shown by 62% fewer migraine days. 4 Also, 77% of the patients considered the Petadolex® supplementation to be successful, compared to 27% of patients taking placebo.
Butterbur Root
Weber & Weber, the maker of Petadolex® Gelcaps, has world wide patent to extract high-potency petasites from the Butterbur plant—powerful source of migraine relief. This patented method of extraction ensures that the essence of the Butterbur root is captured, preserved and utilized to the fullest degree.
Decreased Migraine Attacks.
In one study, Petadolex decreased the number of migraine attacks by 60% over 3 months compared to a placebo. This is comparable to prescription medications used for the same purpose which range from 40% to 70% effective. The difference is that prescription medications have annoying or dangerous side-effects. The list is extensive ranging from fatigue, depression, fibrosis of the mitral valve, mental changes, indigestion, etc. Petadolex has no side-effects.
