Tradamixina

Authoring team

Tradamixina is made of Tribulus Terrestris, Alga Ecklonia Bicyclis, and D-Glucosamine

  • Tribulus Terrestris, which performs a hormone-like action that stimulates natural, endogenous production of androgens
    • the protodioscin is a steroidal saponin, which is about 45% of the extract obtained from aerial parts of Tribulus Terrestris. Thanks to its particular steroidal structure it has an androgen-mimetic action, binding and activating the receptor of testosterone
      • so this substance is able to increase the endogenous production of testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, a hormone luteinizing hormone (LH), dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S). Because of these effects in experimental animals there is an increase in spermatogenesis and the frequency of matches. In the rabbit in particular it has been shown that the compound stimulates the release of nitric oxide (NO) by vascular endothelium of the corpora cavernosa thereby having a pro-erectile effect. The mechanism behind this effect appears to involve the pathway of steroid hormones. Although in humans protodioscin is used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction
      • in a placebo-controlled study on a group of young volunteers, were detected serum levels of testosterone, androstenedione and luteinizing hormone were detected after administration of Tribulus terrestris at doses of 10 and 20 mg / kg. After 4 weeks of treatment, these values were similar to those of untreated

  • pure ecklonia bicyclis algae, which contains very high doses of dieckol, phlorofucofuroeckol and bieckol, which are extremely strong polyphenols that act by inhibiting the anti-NO (nitric oxide) effects of free radicals

  • and Biovis, containing polymers of D-glucosamine and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine at high concentrations, which favors the release of NO
    • contains polymers of d-glucosamine and n-acetyl-d-glucosamine that act both on non-adrenergic and non-colinergic system (NANC) and on endothelial cell system as a strong nitric oxide synthetase (NOS) stimulator
    • release of NO is demonstrated to re-equilibrate the functioning of the smooth muscles of the erectile tissue of the penis

Study evidence revealed that "..The treatment twice a day with "Tradamixina" for 2 months improved libido in elderly men without side effects of Tadalafil..."(1).
