This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 112(d) of Application No. 1-2024-09827, filed on 30 Dec. 2024, in the Republic Socialist of Vietnam. The patent application identified above is incorporated here by reference in its entirety.
The invention pertains to the field of health care product manufacturing, particularly to a plant-based extract composition designed to enhance health, boost immunity, improve resistance to diseases, and promote recovery during illness. More specifically, the invention relates to a method for producing a plant-based extract composition having the effect of enhancing nutrition and immunity.
Protecting and enhancing the immune system is of great importance in treating autoimmune diseases, cancer, and chronic illnesses. Immunostimulants are derived from diverse sources, including biological and microbial origins. However, biologically derived immunostimulants are often expensive, while those derived from microorganisms may have unwanted side effects. There is a growing interest in developing products that enhance immunity, minimize side effects, and are cost-effective. Among these are herbal medicines and natural products known for their nutritional, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, anti-stress, and immune-boosting properties, which also help prevent oxidative damage and treat immune deficiencies. These products aim to offer alternatives with fewer side effects for patients.
Since the 1970s, scientists worldwide have been shifting towards research and development of plant-based products for community health care and protection. These products are considered highly safe, effective, free of side effects, and capable of accelerating recovery. In Vietnam, approximately 200,000 new cancer cases are reported annually, with 82,000 deaths. While the global cancer mortality rate is 59.7%, Vietnam's rate is 73.5%, one of the highest. The increasing incidence of cancer, coupled with a younger demographic, is alarming and calls for timely health protection and preventive measures.
Current cancer treatments may involve surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these methods. The choice of treatment depends on the cancer's location, extent, patient's age, overall health, available options, and treatment goals. Common treatments, such as surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, mainly target symptoms. They are associated with high recurrence and metastasis rates, severe side effects, and often high costs for advanced therapies like targeted and immunotherapy. These challenges underline the need for safe, effective, and affordable alternatives. Thanks to their immune-regulating properties, fatigue reduction capabilities, and anti-aging effects, plant-based products are widely used in developing health care solutions. They are often produced in various forms, such as liquid extracts, capsules, powders, and teas, which are popular for their ability to enhance immunity, regulate the immune system, and reduce the dependence on antibiotics.
