| Abstract |
Myrmecodia Plus is made from 100%
natural ingredient derived from
Myrmecodia tuberosa. Myrmecodia
tuberosa species are considered to
have medicinal value. The plant is
traditionally used in Malaysia and
Indonesia as an alternative treatment
for cancer and tumor especially, in
breast, liver, lung, ovarian and brain
cancer. This plant is also used to
lower the glucose level in blood.
Therefore, packing this plant into
herbal supplement in the form of
capsule will help people enjoy the
benefits of this plant in a convenient
way. We were focusing on the tuber
part of the plant whose swollen base
provides a home for the ants. This
plant is abundantly found in rural
areas but rarely found in urban areas.
There is no risk of chemical effects.
Consumers can take the capsules twice
a day and would not cause any harmful
effects. Instead, this herbal
supplement contains bioactive
compounds, such as flavanoids that can
act as powerful antioxidant, anti-
bacterial, anti-diabetic and anti-
cancer. Thus, there is a great
potential to market the Myrmecodia
Plus supplement as a health product
and as a pharmaceutical product for
medicinal purposes. |
