Crinum latifolium touted to treat prostate cancer in Vietnam
“Vietnam bestows honor on herbal medicine for prostate cancer”
A Vietnamese medical research organization received the country’s highest honor for producing an herbal drug claimed as a therapy for prostate cancer.
The state-owned Research and Development Center also received the health ministry’s nod to use a catchy phrase on the herbal supplement’s bottles. The center has been allowed to print the legend “a quality product for community health” on Crila bottles.
Crila, for which it received a gold medal Saturday, is claimed to be the result of many years of research abroad by Dr Nguyen Thi Ngoc Tram, head of the center. The product is made from the leaves of a kind of trumpet Lily (Crinum latifolium).
