Fadogia Agrestis 10:1 Extract | 180 Capsules | German Elite Nutrition

Fadogia Agrestis Max by German Elite Nutrition

Are you training with purpose and want to consciously choose which plant extracts to add to your routine? Then fadogia agrestis is a name you have probably already come across. These capsules contain a concentrated 10:1 extract of the plant, supplemented with a little black pepper. It is intended for adult athletes who create their own stack and like to know exactly what is in their bottles.

What exactly is fadogia agrestis?

Fadogia agrestis is a shrub that originally grows in dry, savanna-like areas of West Africa, particularly in countries such as Nigeria. In traditional herbal medicine there, the stem of the plant has long been used. In recent years, the plant has also become known far beyond Africa, especially in the world of sports supplements and among people who like to expand their training routine with plant extracts. Here we describe what the plant is and where it comes from, and not what it would do. This is also in line with European rules regarding food supplements.

What does a 10:1 extract mean?

The 10:1 designation says something about the concentration of the extract. For this powder, approximately ten kilos of raw plant material have been processed into one kilo of extract. In short: you get the substances from the plant back in a highly concentrated form, instead of as loose, unprocessed herb. A daily dose of three capsules provides 1500 mg of this fadogia agrestis extract. This means that this product is clearly on the higher side compared to many other fadogia products in the Netherlands, which are often around 500 to 1000 mg per day. Good to know: there is currently no officially established dosage for fadogia. Every manufacturer therefore chooses their own amount, which means that products can differ considerably from one another. When comparing fadogia agrestis capsules, it is therefore worth looking not only at the number of milligrams, but also at the extract ratio. A product with a lower concentration may show the same weight on paper, but contain fewer plant substances. In this product, the 10:1 ratio is clearly stated on the label, so you know exactly what you are getting.

Why is black pepper extract included?

In addition to the plant extract, each daily dose contains 10 mg of black pepper extract, of which 9.5 mg is piperine. Piperine is the pungent substance that gives pepper its characteristic taste. You will find it in many formulated plant supplements. The rest of the composition has been deliberately kept simple. There are no artificial colors, flavors, or unnecessary fillers. If you like a short, clear ingredients list, then this is a good choice for you. On the label you will find exactly what is in each daily dose, accurate to the milligram.

Who is this fadogia supplement intended for?

People often wonder whether fadogia agrestis is suitable for everyone. The honest answer is no: this product is intended for healthy, adult athletes and not for children, pregnant women, or breastfeeding women. Therefore, read the safety section carefully before you start. The capsule itself is plant-based (made of HPMC), making the product suitable for vegans and vegetarians. It is produced in Europe under strict quality control, which is a reason for many buyers to choose a European-produced extract instead of one from an unknown source. You usually buy fadogia agrestis as a supplement within a broader supplement plan around training, alongside, for example, creatine, amino acids, or a pre-workout. Many people build such a stack step by step and add fadogia as an additional plant-based component. Because it is a capsule, intake is simple: no weighing powder, no shaker needed, just take it with a glass of water.

In short, Fadogia Agrestis Max contains a 10:1 extract in a vegan capsule, supplemented with black pepper extract. This way, you keep control over what ends up in your routine, with a transparent composition and an origin you can check.
