MEDIOCON INC offers AGEprost®, a standardized botanical extract derived from the aerial parts of Ageratum conyzoides L., a plant belonging to the Asteraceae family.
AGEprost® is a hydro-alcoholic botanical extract produced from the aerial parts of Ageratum conyzoides. Published analytical work describes the extract as being prepared from dried aerial material using an ethanol-water extraction process, followed by filtration, solvent removal, drying, milling and sieving. The resulting powder has also been described as being blended with maltodextrin for uniformity.
The extract contains a range of naturally occurring phytochemicals, including flavonoids, terpenoids, sterols, coumarins and lignans. Published analytical research has used 5′-methoxynobiletin as one of the marker compounds for characterization of AGEprost®.
AGEprost® has been included in India's FSSAI list of approved non-specified foods/food ingredients under application 99/Std/PA/FSSAI/2019, with the listing identifying it as an Ageratum conyzoides L. standardized extract.
AGEprost® is a specialty botanical ingredient intended for use in nutritional and dietary-supplement formulations. Its standardized botanical profile makes it suitable for formulation development where a consistent Ageratum conyzoides extract is required.
MEDIOCON INC supports commercial sourcing of specialty botanical ingredients according to customer requirements and applicable technical specifications.

Published research describing AGEprost® reports extraction from the aerial parts of Ageratum conyzoides using ethanol-water, followed by concentration and drying.
AGEprost® is a branded standardized botanical extract derived from Ageratum conyzoides L.
The botanical extract is prepared from the aerial portions of the plant and processed into a powdered ingredient. Scientific characterization has identified multiple phytochemical groups within Ageratum conyzoides extracts.
AGEprost® has been investigated in scientific studies relating to men's health and prostate-related applications. However, published research also notes that further clinical and safety evaluation is required, so website content should describe it as a specialty botanical/nutritional ingredient rather than a treatment for disease.
AGEprost® / Ageratum conyzoides extract contains various naturally occurring phytochemical classes.
The exact phytochemical profile depends on extraction and processing conditions.
5′-Methoxynobiletin
Published HPLC analysis of AGEprost® reported approximately 0.4% 5′-methoxynobiletin in the analyzed material. The study used a C18 HPLC column with UV detection for characterization.
Standardization Marker: 5′-Methoxynobiletin
Marker Content: As per current CoA
This is preferable for your commercial page because the published 0.4% value represents the material analyzed in that study and should not automatically be treated as the specification for every commercial batch.
A published description of AGEprost® reports the following general processing sequence:
The published method describes a 90% ethanol extraction system followed by drying and processing into a powder. It also reports blending with maltodextrin for uniformity.
Hydro-alcoholic extraction – product-specific process
Maltodextrin may be present; confirm current product specification.
AGEprost® may be used as an ingredient in:
AGEprost® has been researched for applications related to men's prostate and urinary health. The available research should not be converted into disease-treatment claims on the product page.
AGEprost® has been investigated in scientific research involving Ageratum conyzoides extract. A 2024 study characterized AGEprost® and evaluated its effects in a testosterone-induced benign prostatic hyperplasia animal model. The authors stated that additional research, including human clinical efficacy and safety studies, is needed.
Another recent study evaluated standardized Ageratum conyzoides extract in laboratory models related to hair-growth mechanisms. Such research is useful for ingredient characterization and research development but should not be presented as proof of a guaranteed human clinical effect.
