The predecessor of HealthWorks was Tong Zhi Tang, which was founded in 1989 and sold traditional herbal tea at that time. In 2000, the HealthyWorks was established to replace Tong Zhi Tang, and the company shifted from providing traditional herbal tea to providing healthy and nourishing drinks suitable for urban life. HealthWorks hopes to provide the public with healthy food and drinks based on the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine in their daily lives, and to provide health products for different people based on their needs.
V-Block Therapeutic Toothpaste repairs the oral mucosa, prevents oral ulcers, and improves oral resistance. It also has anti-Asian disease, antiviral, and antibacterial effects. Furthermore, it helps control plaque formation, reduce eye inflammation, and improve gum health.
Collaborating with experts and researchers from renowned Hong Kong universities and their medical schools, we are dedicated to exploring new avenues and innovations in TCM antiviral therapy. By employing unique methods and strategies of TCM to address the root causes of disease and combat the epidemic, we have successfully overcome bottlenecks in disease prevention and control.
Based on the latest research on TCM antiviral therapy, we have discovered that the active ingredient SSP in the extract of the Chinese herb Spatholobus suberectus (chicken blood vine) has shown effective inhibitory effects against respiratory viruses (SARS-CoV-2 and H1N5) and their variants in both in vitro and in vivo studies. It can directly kill the virus and also block viral invasion, transmission, and replication by blocking the ACE receptors in the human oral cavity. V-Block/V-Bailu is not only effective in treatment but also plays an important role in the prevention of respiratory infectious diseases (known as a biological oral barrier). It can provide effective preventative measures for various population groups.
Seeking hope for virus prevention from natural plant extracts.
Spatholobus suberectus mainly comes from Lincang County, Yunnan Province, with the Fengqing Spatholobus suberectus from Fengqing, Yunxian, Lancang, Gengma, and Tengchong areas being considered the best. Different parts of the Spatholobus suberectus are harvested from these areas. There are as many as 26 species of medicinal plants belonging to 6 families and 12 genera. The authentic Spatholobus subereotus Dunn, a plant in the Fabaceae family and genus of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, is the one officially recognized as such. It is a locally used medicinal variety. When its stem is cut, the woody part gradually turns a light reddish-brown, and after a short while, a red liquid oozes out, resembling chicken blood, hence the name "chicken blood vine" (鸡血藤). Subsequently, Spatholobus suberectus Dunn Percolation Extract (SSP) was developed. Currently, abundant wild resources of Spatholobus suberectus are found in Guangxi and Southeast Asian countries.
Spatholobus suberectus has the characteristics of multi-component and multi-target action, which can intervene in the occurrence and development of diseases from multiple angles, providing more possibilities for the treatment of respiratory fungal diseases. "Shielding" blocks the virus from entering human cells; "Avoiding" cuts off the route of entry into the body; "Reversing" directly kills and reduces the novel coronavirus; "Harmonizing" cultivates the body's vital energy, preventing the virus from invading.
This research collaborates with experts and researchers from renowned Hong Kong universities, including the University Faculty of Medicine, the School of Clinical Medicine, and the National Key Laboratory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, to explore new ideas and innovative areas in TCM antiviral therapy. The principles of "Shielding," "Avoiding," "Reversing," and "Harmonizing" combine the TCM concept of generalization with Western theories of separation, fully leveraging the strengths of both TCM and Western medicine to achieve complementarity and promote the scientific advancement of modern TCM, leading to remarkable discoveries. The research findings will be applied to various health products, helping humanity address the challenges posed by various diseases. In this research, a TCM herb, Chicken Blood Vine, after rigorous extraction, was found to contain an active ingredient, SSP, which has shown potent and broad-spectrum efficacy against the respiratory virus (SARS-CoV-2) and its variants in both in vitro and in vivo studies. The finished product, SSP, can prevent the virus from invading and multiplying in the mouth and nasopharynx. It is suitable for all ages, simple to use, and represents a breakthrough and innovation in preventing and controlling infection and accelerating patient recovery.
The wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is bringing new hope to the healthcare system, potentially reversing the current global spread of COVID-19 and demonstrating the unique preventative role of TCM. This research, a collaborative effort between a TCM and Western medicine interdisciplinary team, serves as a model for promoting the integration of TCM and Western medicine research in Hong Kong, making a greater contribution to human health.
The ISSP experimental study has demonstrated the following advantages:
1. No toxicity was found in the liver and kidneys of animals after (SSP) administration;
2. Excellent efficacy with low dosage;
3. No antagonism when used concurrently with Celebrex;
4. Controllable through GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice).
