PRESS BRIEFING ON JOBELYN – THE SUPER ANTIOXIDANT

Place: Golden Gate Restaurant, Ikoyi,Lagos
Date & Time: October 5, 2006  10.00 a.m
One of the most reliable measures of medicinal power of plants is the ORAC Antioxidant capacity. Jobelyn, a Nigerian plant product, made from Sorghum, a proprietary extract,  has the highest ORAC Antioxidant value of 3123 units (measured as an analogue of Vitamin E, it means that Jobelyn is 3123 times more powerful than Vitamin E ). The fruit identified as having the highest antioxidant capacity in the USA is Cherry and it contains only 128 units.

 

Scientists from the Buck Anti-Aging Institute (USA), have confirmed that Antioxidants are the elixir of life and they neutralize the free oxygen radicals which are the deadliest enemies of the body, responsible for many serious illnesses like hypertension, stroke, arthritis, cancer, diabetes, heart diseases etc. Because Jobelyn is produced from a food plant, it is a dietary supplement and not a drug. Nevertheless, Jobelyn has been subjected to series of research studies: Jobelyn was proven to have the potential as a substitute for blood transfusion in many cases of severe anemia, through animal studies done at: College of Medicine , University of Lagos

 

Dept. of Pharmacy, University of Benin, Benin City. Both studies were published in the African Journal of Biotechnology (September, 2003) Preliminary results of some human clinical studies done at Lindabel Medical Centre, Surulere, on about 150 subjects have confirmed the results obtained in the animal studies earlier reported.   Clinical Studies carried out at the Military Hospital , Ikoyi Lagos, confirmed that Jobelyn increased CD4 counts of HIV patients either alone or in combination with ARV Drugs.

 

Jobelyn stands as one of the dependable options for HIV patients whose CD4 counts are above 350,  which level does not qualify them for the use of ARV drugs. Poster presentation on the studies was exhibited at the Conference of International Military Medicine at Washington DC . 2004 with more than 110 countries and over 3000 delegates in attendance. Lethal Dosage safety studies  (LD50) at the College of Medicine of the University of Lagos has confirmed that Jobelyn is very safe for human use. 

 

Jobelyn has been introduced to the Nigerian General Medical Practitioners as a WELLNESS PRODUCT and after a formal presentation at the Annual General meeting of the AGPMPN (Abuja2006), Jobelyn is having the record of being the first indigenous food supplement to be embraced by Medical Doctors throughout the country. Jobelyn is undoubtedly the only Nigerian medicinal product registered with the FDA (USA) and being marketed in the country. This was confirmed by no lesser a personality than the Director of NAFDAC, Professor Dora Akunyili at a recent conference of the Industrial Pharmacists at Abuja early in 2006. Ongoing research studies in USA and Germany have confirmed Jobelyn as having considerable anti-inflammatory properties. Most diseases including cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, arthritis, Alzheimer and Parkinson’s diseases all have implications of inflammation. The discovery of Jobelyn’s Cox-1 and Cox-2 inhibitory properties,  which rank high among the existing anti-inflammatory drugs meant that Jobelyn has very great potential to solve many health problems.Jobelyn is manufactured by Health Forever Products Limted, located at More details and information about Jobelyn could be found on their website:
