Capros is developed from Phyllanthus emblica, the
Indian Gooseberry. It is promoted by Natreon, Inc, and Ayurvedic based company
Capros has a high ORAC value of nearly 1,800, which is certainly compelling, but
the in vivo results really tell the whole story, according to Dr. Runa Ghosh, PhD,
Managing Director of R&D at Natreon, Inc. An in vivo Capros study shows that this ingredient has comparable
antioxidant potential based on well known in vivo radical scavenging assays.
Compared specifically with extracts of pine bark, grape seed and pomegranate,
all popular ingredients on the market, the resulting values for Capros showed
significantly better defense against chronic oxidative stress with no adverse
effects. The model design included controls and was a severe challenge to the
mice, based on 28-day administration of toxic potassium dichromate, known to
produce oxidative stress. The assays were made on samples taken from the brain,
liver and plasma of the animals. Given these results, Capros shows promise as a
synergistic antioxidant ingredient.
Capros is made by Natreon, Inc., which brings together the powers
of ancient medicine with the support and backing of modern science and clinical

compounds revered in Ayurvedic medicine, an ancient form of treatment practiced

modern technology and science to support these safe and effective ancient

As of 2010, we could not find human studies with Capros
that were published and found on Medline.
