Golden thread - precious medicinal herb for blood fat and cardiovascular diseases

In the late 70s of the last century, in the former Soviet Union, Diosponin and Polysponin preparations were saved as drugs to reduce blood fat (lower cholesterol).

Doctor of Traditional Medicine Nguyen Hoang said: "In the early 1970s, while collecting medicinal plants, I met some Dao people and an old man who showed me a vine wrapped around a cassava stem, the root is yellow, tastes bitter and only grows at an altitude of over 1500m above sea level.

He said this plant is very valuable, but it can only be used as medicine, not eaten. It helps some cadres with big bellies to shrink and is very effective in treating bone and joint pain. The locals call it "bitter mai". Botanically, I realized it belongs to the brown tuber family, the Dioscorea genus, which I had noted and collected a few years ago. This medicinal plant was later identified by its scientific name as Dioscorea collettii, and steroidal saponins were extracted from the tuber with a fairly high content. (In the following years, in scientific works published in the Journal of Pharmacy in the country and in the former Soviet Union, I named this plant "Nan nghe").

Scientific research proves the effects of the precious medicinal plant Nán nghệ

The issue of drugs to lower blood lipids and cholesterol (due to lipid metabolism disorders) is of concern to the whole world because high blood fat levels are the leading cause of atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, vascular occlusion causing cerebrovascular accidents, strokes, myocardial infarctions....

These drugs were initially synthesized from chemicals, but due to side effects and the risk of liver and kidney toxicity, scientists later turned to research on herbal drugs.

In the late 70s of the last century, in the former Soviet Union, Diosponin and Polysponin preparations were circulated as lipid-lowering drugs (cholesterol-lowering drugs). The active ingredients of these drugs are water-soluble saponins extracted from Dioscorea caucasica; Dioscorea nipponica are very close plant species, in the same genus as Dioscorea collettii.

In 1985, at the Medical University No. 1 Xetnov - Moscow, the PhD thesis on the plant Nán nghệ and 5 other medicinal plants of the genus Dioscorea in Vietnam was successfully defended.

After returning home, with the collaboration of the late Professor Pham Khue (Institute of Geriatrics), Prof. Dr. Nguyen Trung Chinh, doctors at the Vietnam-Soviet Friendship Hospital, Associate Professor Dr. Hoang Kim Huyen and colleagues at the Hanoi University of Pharmacy.

As a result, the drug Diosgin was born in 1995; from the laboratory scale to clinical research carefully evaluated on patients, it was evaluated as excellent by the research council of Hanoi University of Pharmacy; the project was also honored to win first prize at the national conference on young medical and pharmaceutical sciences.

Using over 500 people with lipid metabolism disorders, the biochemical test results on 5 blood lipoprotein indicators showed that all blood lipid indicators tended to return to normal, especially a strong reduction in low-density lipoprotein (bad fat LDL-c) and a tendency to increase high-density lipoprotein (good fat HDL-c), thereby lowering the CT/HDL ratio (CT-total cholesterol).

In particular, total blood cholesterol in ~100% of patients decreased. The drug also has the effect of lowering blood pressure in most patients with high blood pressure. During treatment, no complications or adverse effects were observed.

Results of research on the precious medicinal plant Nạn nghệ

Pharmacological research results show that the drug has a strong anti-inflammatory effect, most patients with inflammation and joint swelling recovered after taking the drug. Pharmacological research also shows that the drug has the effect of regulating heart rate.

So after 40 years of research, we found that the Nán nghệ plant has 3 effects:

One is to reduce excess fat in the blood (reduce cholesterol, reduce blood fat)

Second, it helps stabilize blood pressure and regulate heart rate.

Third is anti-arthritis (Highly effective for rheumatoid arthritis)

Improve technology, develop medicinal model according to GACP, optimize formula, convenient dosage form, suitable packaging, better preservation, 100% herbal essence.
