Hanoi, Apr 27 (Prensa Latina) The Pharmaceutical Biological Laboratory
(LABIOFAM) presented in this capital new highly-effective medical
products from banana peel that stirred up interest and admiration among
Vietnamese scientists and researchers.

LABIOFAM executives Jorge Luis Martinez and Yudit Rodriguez
presented the products to the Vietnamese pharmaceutical industry at the
Institute of Medicinal Materials.

After a meticulous process of lab study, tests of medicinal properties
and health registration strictly according to international
regulations, those products have already been on the market, Rodriguez
stated.

This is the case, for example, of ASMACAN, a bronchodilator and
expectorant, which is very effective for ambulatory asthma patients, as
systematic inquiries have demonstrated among patients in Cuba.

Another medicine is NUTRISOL, a nutritional, restorative supplement
used in the treatment of anemia, anorexia and convalescence.

Other medicines to treat specific types of anemia are FERRICAL and
ACITAN. They provide a missing dietetic-fiber supplement, encourage
more healthy processes, and are an effective protector of the gastric
mucus.

Another medicine is PROPOLINA, a restorer for immunological disorders,
rapid cicatrization, anti-parasite, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and
anti-bacterial, all at once.

LABIOFARM has also fostered a line of products obtained from mango
peel, known as VIMANG, for many physical uses, among them as a
nutritional supplement for people subdued to high tensions such as
pilots, high-performance athletes and divers, among others.
