QINGHAO CAPSULE
Malaria is a life-threatening disease all over the world with nearly half of the world’s population at risk of Malaria especially in most developing countries. It is typically transmitted through the bite of infected female (Anopheles) mosquitoes. Infected mosquitoes carry the Plasmodium parasite and releases it into the bloodstream where it becomes matured and infects the red blood cells after an infective bite. The transmission usually takes place between 48 to 72 hours after which the parasite burst open and infect the whole body cells. Some common symptoms of Malaria are fever, headache, profuse sweating, vomiting, abdominal pain, convulsion and shivering.
In 2015, Professor Youyou Tu was awarded a Nobel Laureate Prize for her discoveries concerning a novel therapy against malaria. She revolutionized how malaria is fought through the extraction of Artemisinin from the nature’s best botanical, Artemisia annua by applying ancient techniques from Traditional Chinese Medicine through isolation and purification of Artemisinin from the plant.
The active ingredient of Qinghao is Artemisinin; the extraction of Artemisia annuna. Artemisinin fights the ultra-structure of the parasites in the erythrocytes phase and thus leading to their termination in the body cells. The parasites die rapidly due to loss of nutrition and cytoplasm and this happens through the production of peroxide bridge mediated by the free ferrous ions produced by Artemisinin.
Because Qinghao capsule contains Artemisinin, it is not surprising that it helps to rigorously combat Plasmodium falciparum and other multi-drug resistance malaria. Qinghao capsule is formulated with a worldwide recognized Artemisinin formulation and it has been sold in the market for over a decade. It is tested, trusted and certified to be very effective as it has helped a lot of people in Africaand other parts of the world to fight against malaria anytime any day. Apart from this, Qinghao capsule is herbal based. Its herbal ingredients give an added immune boosting edge over resistant malaria.
