Here is an explanation of the benefits of Snakehead Fish Extract, Temulawak, and Moringa Leaves, which are beneficial for individuals with a history of gastrointestinal diseases and hypoalbuminemia. Let’s take a look…
This was revealed during the Virtual Indonesian Digestive Disease Digestive Week (IDDW) 2021 held on August 4-8, 2021, organized by The Indonesian Society of Gastroenterology (ISG) in collaboration with The Indonesian Society for Digestive Endoscopy (ISDE) and the Division of Gastroenterology, Pancreatobiliary and Digestive Endoscopy, Department of Internal Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia/Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital.
On the first day of IDDW, a Virtual Advanced Endoscopy Workshop (for limited participants) was held, followed by the Virtual Symposium IDDW 2021. Through the scientific program presented in various sessions, the event highlighted important issues currently affecting medical practices and specializations, delivered by over 30 prominent international and national faculty members who discussed advancements in the field of Gastroenterology and Digestive Endoscopy.
Several companies participated, including PT. Natura Nuswantara Nirmala (Nucleus Farma) – its flagship product, Onoiwa MX, was discussed at this event. On Friday, August 6, 2021, during a symposium session, expert speakers like Prof. Dr. Dadang Makmun, SpPD-KGEH, FACG, presented. This information was conveyed by Edward Basilianus, CEO of PT. Nucleus Farma, to JamuDigital.Com’s editorial team.
At this event, the benefits of a polyherbal supplement containing Snakehead Fish Extract, Temulawak, and Moringa Leaves for various gastrointestinal diseases and hypoalbuminemia conditions were discussed. According to existing research, there are many cases of colorectal cancer in Indonesia, where patients often experience malnutrition and even hypoalbuminemia. The polyherbal supplement discussed works as follows:
First, Snakehead Fish Extract (Channa striata) is rich in protein, particularly albumin. Albumin is the main protein found in human blood, produced by the liver. Its function is to help form new cell tissues. Albumin is used to accelerate the recovery of damaged or split body cells.
With its high protein content, rich in albumin and essential amino acids, Snakehead Fish Extract helps nourish and increase albumin levels in patients, speeding up recovery after chemotherapy. Maintaining fluid balance in the body is essential because the body needs sufficient fluid intake to ensure organs function properly. Snakehead fish albumin helps improve malnutrition in patients, making it highly beneficial for health. Other health benefits of Snakehead Fish include supporting digestive health, treating hypoalbuminemia, and aiding weight gain. Snakehead Fish contains the highest amount of albumin compared to other fish.
The ability to accelerate wound healing is the most notable benefit of Snakehead Fish protein. Again, because its albumin content is very high, the formation of new cells in the body can proceed smoothly. A lack of albumin can lead to various health issues.
Second, Temulawak Extract (Curcuma xanthorrhiza). Damage to the stomach mucosa can occur due to the inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis. A decrease in prostaglandin levels can lead to an imbalance between aggressive factors (gastric acid and pepsin) and defensive factors (mucus and bicarbonate, blood flow, epithelial regeneration), triggering an inflammatory process that increases the formation of free radicals as a byproduct of phagocytosis.
Temulawak contains antioxidants such as phenols, flavonoids, and curcumin, which help capture free radicals in the body. Flavonoids also have other functions, such as stabilizing cell membranes and inhibiting lipid peroxidation, increasing prostaglandin and mucus content in the stomach mucosa by stimulating cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), and reducing acid and pepsinogen secretion in the stomach.
In addition, curcumin found in Temulawak rhizomes can suppress the formation of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), preventing inflammatory activity that leads to increased free radical formation through phagocytosis. Thus, Temulawak has the potential to prevent damage to the stomach mucosa. Curcumin also helps improve appetite in patients.
Third, Moringa Leaf Extract (Moringa oleifera). Moringa leaves are commonly used as a remedy for digestive disorders, including gastric issues. The plant is rich in tannins and flavonoids, powerful plant-based antioxidants that can heal inflammation, irritation, and gastric problems.
Moreover, Moringa leaves also enhance overall body health. Their mode of action includes:
- Fighting H. Pylori Bacteria: Research shows that Moringa leaves effectively alleviate symptoms and improve prognosis in individuals with gastric disorders. The compounds in these leaves reduce inflammation caused by the accumulation of Helicobacter pylori and boost the body’s resistance. Additionally, Moringa leaves help eliminate free radicals and enhance immunity.
- Rich in Antioxidants and Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Moringa leaves contain several antioxidant compounds, such as polyphenols, flavonoids, and ascorbic acid. These antioxidants help prevent cellular damage caused by free radicals, which is also a cause of gastric problems. The plant also suppresses inflammatory enzymes, thereby reducing the risk of acid reflux.
- Reducing Obesity: Moringa leaves lower glucose, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels, reducing obesity, which can trigger acid reflux.
- Eliminating Intestinal Worms: Regular consumption of Moringa leaves can kill harmful intestinal worms, thus reducing the risk of digestive issues, particularly gastric problems.
In conclusion, this polyherbal supplement is highly beneficial for patients with a history of gastrointestinal diseases and hypoalbuminemia. By consuming this supplement, patients can improve their condition, as it fulfills their nutritional needs with minimal side effects, being a natural-based remedy.
