Diabetes is one of the dangerous non-communicable diseases rapidly increasing globally. Synthetic treatment drug groups can help reduce complications for patients but may still cause unwanted side effects. What solutions can lower blood sugar while remaining safe for long-term use?
What is Diabetes?
Diabetes, also known as diabetes mellitus, is a group of metabolic disorders affecting carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism when the pancreatic insulin hormone is deficient or its effect is reduced in the body, manifesting as consistently high blood sugar levels. In the early stages, the disease typically causes patients to urinate frequently, experience nighttime urination, and consequently become very thirsty. Diabetes is one of the primary causes of many serious diseases, including coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular accidents, blindness, kidney failure, erectile dysfunction, necrosis, and other critical health complications.
Current Situation of Diabetes
According to the International Diabetes Federation, in 2017, 425 million people aged 20-79 worldwide were diagnosed with diabetes (1 in 11 adults), with an estimated 48% increase to 629 million people by 2045 (1 in 10 adults). In Vietnam, 3.54 million people had diabetes in 2017, and this number is projected to rise to 6.13 million by 2045.
Problem Statement and Solutions
Currently, synthetic treatment drug groups can help reduce complications for patients but may still cause unwanted side effects. Therefore, using herbal-based products is a potential alternative to help control blood sugar over an extended period and has become one of the focus areas in Vietnam and worldwide. In addition to individual herbal medicines, the current trend among Vietnamese pharmaceutical companies and those in other countries is to develop diabetes support products from herbal mixtures to enhance disease management effectiveness.
Following this approach, Sam Sam Company Limited has researched and produced SAPENTOL hard capsules containing extracts from a herbal mixture including Ngoc Linh Ginseng, Moc Co, and young Guava leaves. These capsules are designed to support blood sugar reduction, lower blood lipids, reduce cardiovascular risks associated with diabetes, and help prevent and support diabetes treatment. Notably, SAPENTOL is a purely herbal product, safe for long-term use, helping diabetes patients address concerns about potential side effects from modern pharmaceutical drugs.
Research and Validation
Pharmacological test results from the Saigon Science and Technology Center (SAPHARCEN), Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy:
SAPENTOL hard capsules 500 mg/capsule, prepared from 154 mg of concentrated extract (adjusted to 0% moisture) of a herbal mixture containing Ngoc Linh Ginseng, Moc Co, and young Guava leaves, demonstrated blood sugar reduction effects after 1 and 2 weeks of treatment. The blood sugar lowering effect of SAPENTOL was shown to be better compared to the reference drug Glibenclamide.
SAPENTOL hard capsules did not exhibit acute toxicity. (See detailed test results here).
