JOBELYN has been well researched at the College of Medicine of the University of Lagos, at the University of Benin, the Military Hospital in Ikoyi, Lagos, and by leading laboratories in Germany and the United States. Originally presented as a remedy for all cases of anemia, especially in sickle sell crisis, Jobelyn has found increasing clinical uses in arthritis, hypertension, stroke, HIV/AIDS and diabetes therapies, to mention a few disease conditions that this product may help.

Nigerian laboratory experiments replicated abroad show that Jobelyn raises blood haematocrit by as high as 14 per cent within 24 hours, making it the fastest blood replenisher in the world. So fast does it work that it has been described in some medical circles as a possible alternative to blood transfusion! A presentation made to a world conference of military hospitals held in Betheseda, United States, in 2004 by the Nigerian Military Hospital in Ikoyi, Lagos, of its research findings suggests that Jobelyn helps people living with HIV/AIDS better than the protocols of orthodox medicine.

Currently, Jobelyn is now well rated in the United States as a high anti-oxidant herbal product. If we recall that free radicals are implicated in about 500 disease conditions and that anti-oxidants prevent or reverse them, Jobelyn must, indeed, be an indispensable herbal remedy for the family herbal medicine chest. In my experience of counseling people who are often stressed up, tired or fatigued, such as women after the monthly cycle, commercial motorcyclists or other physically and mentally active people, I have found that the problem, often, is with the quality of the blood, that many people have poorly composed blood and low blood counts without realizing it, and that one capsule of Jobelyn every day or every other day makes a lot of difference to their energy level, work capacity, productivity and even reproductive and social lives.
