Petadolex Pro-Active, Blood Vessel Health and Relaxation in the Brain with Patented Butterbur*, 60 Softgels

I have been seeing a neurologist for 8 years and just transferred to a new one. After emphasizing that I preferred herbal or natural means to manage my headaches and migraines, I was told about this product for the first time.For me, this product was an immediate help. I wish I would have heard about it sooner. I purchased the 60 capsule bottle as a trial (50 mg), and was surprised to find that 60 capsules only represented one-third of the bottle.I have been taking this product faithfully for two weeks. It says that for the first 45 days, new users should take product three times per day then reduce to once per day. Well, I have already seen a big difference in myself. Two days after taking the product, I had a bad cold, started my period, and the weather was rainy and overcast (all three of these scenarios are “triggers” for me). I was pleased to discover I had barely a light headache and this went away fairly quickly. Also, I went to a conference where people are known to have perfume and did not get sick. Ever since I have had this product, there has been no incident of headache or migraine.The only side effect I have noticed is that I have a looser bowel movement (not diarrhea) but for me, this is a blessing and not a problem.I have been researching butterbur and some wish to use a higher amount of the agent (75 mg rather than 50 mg). I am unsure if Petadolex sells 75 mg or not. I am also interested to see if this product will help me during allergy season. So far, I love this product and will continue using it. Very effective for me – will definitely continue using this product.

It worked for me. A near life-long migraine sufferer, I have finally stopped relying on pharmaceutical remedies to help me manage the migraines. Even more amazing is that butterbur not only helped me to manage the migraines, but I am almost symptom free. Butterbur reduced the frequency from about 4 to 6 per month (lasting up to 3 days) to roughly 2 per year! It took about a year of daily use of this plant extract to bring me to my current relief. I’ve been relying on butterbur for about 3 years now, and have turned my back on prescription pharmaceutical remedies (which were not remedial). Pure butterbur extract (Petasites hybridus) sold as Petadolex Pro-Active under license from the German firm of Weber & Weber, or others which are under license from Weber & Weber is the only butterbur, which works in the dosage suggested while not causing stomach pains and other reactions. I’ve tried other butterbur extracts, but none comes close to Weber & Weber’s extraction method. It took me a few years of listening to clients, other professionals that suffered under serious migraine issues, recommending butterbur before I finally tried the plant extract. If you try it you must be consistent, disciplined and not give up. If it works for you, as it has worked for me, you will consider it one of earth’s miracle plants. Just be sure to use the extract, which is licensed by the firm of Weber & Weber because the plant can be toxic, or cause severe stomach pain if not properly extracted.

I have a very weird kind of migraine- basilar migraine. It causes all kinds of weird stuff in my head and body. Feel like my head is expanding like a balloon and that some heavy liquid is being stirred around in my brain. Double vision or blindness, balance probs, vertigo and sometimes numbness down the left side of my body. If I happen to be driving and one comes on, I can't stop veering to the right side of the road, like something pulls me to the right- same happens when walking. Have had to call husband to rescue me along the side of the road a couple times.I take four different meds for migraine and they work most of the time. But some days are just bad and nothing works. I started Petadolex about a month ago. First two weeks noticed no change, but last two weeks much better.I'm impressed enough that I just bought a two month supply. The Natures Way brand is one of the very few formulations that doesn't have the side effect of liver damage, so this is the one to buy.

My wife's board-certified neurologist recommended Petadolex brand butterbur for her migraines. She has a bad reaction to sulfa drugs and other expensive drugs are not covered by our insurance. Butterbur is regulated as a pharmaceutical in other countries, but not the U.S. The most important thing about butterbur is that in its natural state, it contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PA's), which can cause liver cancer. Unlike some "natural" varieties of butterbur, PA's have been removed from Petadolex. Although it can be used at the onset of migraines, it is primarily used to prevent them and is not fully effective until used for up to two months. (We have not completed our full course of treatment yet, so I cannot speak to results in our specific case) If you find yourself turning to butterbur for migraines or other conditions, be smart and get a quality brand like Petadolex because not all butterbur is created equal.Update #1: my wife now complains of a "grassy" taste from belching after taking butterbur. I apologize if you did not want to know that!Update #2: Well over two months later, my wife is seeing gradual and subtle signs of improvement. The doctor is weaning her off of stronger pharmaceuticals to reduce interactions. There are a lot of moving parts at work here, but the butterbur appears to take the "edge" off enough that she can survive her "days off".
