ZANGRADO® & PROGRADO® Benefits:

Zangrado® & Progrado® - Patented, Highly Concentrated Substances:

(Support studies listed in the Scientific Studies section)

Zangrado® and Zangrado® are patented extracts derived from the viscous red latex of the Croton species tree found primarily in the South American rainforests and is sustainably wild-crafted. RNI original research demonstrated their mechanism of action as regulating the sensory afferent neurons that line the internal organs as well as the skin

Powerful Proanthocyanidins
Powerful Antioxidant Properties

Both extracts affect over-stimulated sensory neurons and signal the central nervous system to respond. Orally, both Progrado and Zangrado have been effective in the treatment of nausea and ulcers with implications for irritable bowel syndrome and gastroesophageal reflux disease as well as other gastrointestinal complaints. Topically, Zangrado has been shown clinically

effective in reducing pain and itching associated with insect bites and stings, contact dermatitis, and plays a cicatrizing role in the healing process.

Sensory (afferent) neurons are nerves that respond to sensation – such as pain and itch – and are located throughout the body – lining the skin, organs and lungs. In a sense, coughing is your body’s way of “itching” its lungs.

Additionally, in human cells, Progrado has been shown to regulate overactive matrix metalloproteinases, molecular “scissors” from breaking down cartilage while increasing cellular IGF-1 levels.

Zangrado® has been used in clinical trials topically to treat the pain and itch associated with bug bites and bee stings. It has been used internally to reduce nausea (emesis), diarrhea and also itch. Coughing is a method the lungs use to “itch” themselves so intuitively, Zangrado® would be effective internally for certain respiratory conditions. Progrado® has been shown to affect matrix metalloproteinase (MMPs). These are the molecular “scissors” that breakdown cartilage which is normally replaced by new cells.

Progrado® thus allows the body to repair itself.

Importantly, as with red wine, the proanthocyanidins found in Progrado® may offer benefits to the cardiovascular system.
