Pure
artemisinin or Qinghaosu, the active constituent of the herb
Artemesia annua (sweet wormwood). Good quality Artemesia annua
contains 0.3-0.5% artemisinin, so pure Artemisinin provides
hundreds of times more of the active constituent artemisinin
than the whole herb itself. Research has shown artemisinin
to be particularly beneficial in balancing the microbiology
of the GI tract.
Suggested
Usuage: As a dietary supplement, 1-2 capsules one
or two times daily before meals, or as directed by a healthcare
practitioner. Sensitive individuals may want to take with
food.
CAUTION:
Contraindicated for pregnant or nursing women. Artemisinin
produces an oxidizing effect in the stomach and intestines.
Long term administration greater than 2 or 3 months should
be monitored by a healthcare practitioner. Combining with
antioxidants or iron may theoretically decrease effectiveness.
Detoxification reactions may be experienced by some individuals.
