HYDROSOLUBLE FRACTIONS OF PHLEBODIUM DECUMANUM AND USE THEREOF AS NUTRITIONAL COMPLEMENTS IN AIDS AND CANCER PATIENTS

摘要

The hydrosoluble fraction obtained from the fronds of a cultivated variety of Phlebodium decumanum which has been purified and standardized and identified as EXPLY-37 is appropriate to prepare formulations which are useful as nutritional supplements of general application and in particular for patients who suffer from a general weakening and cachectic syndrom such as aids patients and oncologic patients. The formulations may optionally contain ground Phlebodium decumanum rhizome and/or an extract of Phlebodium decumanum rhizome and the appropriate excipients for the presentation of said formulations in the form of powder, capsules or syrups.
