Panax notoginseng is a precious medicinal herb, equally valuable as ginseng. The content of saponins - which have many typical pharmacological effects of the genus Panax, such as increased energy, anti-depressants, adaptive proliferation, and anti-oxidant effects - in the concentrated ventricle tubers is more than double that of ginseng, and the price is cheaper than Korean ginseng. In particular, all parts of this medicinal herb can be used as medicine.

According to Dr. Le Thi Hong Van, the project leader "Completing the research process of standardization concentrated Panax notoginseng and the preparation of liquid Panax notoginseng that has the effect of supporting cancer treatment from the medicinal herb Panax notoginseng", after During the processing of ventricular tubers, many new saponins have been formed, such as G-Rh2, GRh1, G-Rk1, G-Rg5 and have been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells in vitro and in vitro. in vivo.

The product is oriented to support cancer patients with an expected dose of about 2-3 times/day. According to the authors' estimate, the cost of using the product is from 35,000 - 40,000 VND/day.

These standards have been verified by an independent agency, the Institute of Drug Testing of Ho Chi Minh City.

The author's project has been accepted by the Department of Science and Technology of Ho Chi Minh City, meeting the requirements.

The group wishes to produce and clinical trials on patients to increase the potential for product development in the form of therapeutic drugs. At the same time, continue to research and develop a number of products from ventricular  tuber extract such as tea, drinking water, and combine with some other medicinal herbs to increase the product's activity.
