Health Benefits
Organic germanium, also called Ge-132, or Carboxyethyl Germanium Sesquioxide contains various other elements. It has the functions of dehydrogenation and enrichment of oxygen, enhancing the human immune system, regulating the human nervous and endocrine system, and resisting lipid peroxidation. According to the research of “The International Society of Trace Element Medicine,” organic germanium has approvingly high medical value and various functions.
Because it has the function of dehydrogenation and enrichment of oxygen, it can maintain sufficient oxygen in the body, thereby maintaining the health of the human body. In the human body, the decomposition of food is carried out with the help of oxygen. In food decomposition, a large amount of oxygen must be consumed, and water and carbon dioxide are generated simultaneously. If there is not enough oxygen, the body can cause various diseases. Organic germanium can take hydrogen ions out of the body, reducing the body’s demand for oxygen, which benefits health.
After organic germanium enters the human body, it can be evenly distributed in various organs and tissues and entirely excreted in 24 hours. It is a trace element that will not accumulate in the body. Cells in different organs of the human body produce wastes in the process of life, some of which are excreted through the secretion system. Some of them exist in various organs as free radicals, forming lesions, leading to the decline of organ function and affecting health. Organic germanium can interact with this part of free radicals. Combined and excreted to enhance organ life.
Medical clinical studies have found that organic germanium has an excellent therapeutic effect on various diseases. They are mainly reflected in antitumor, treatment of senile dementia, enhancement of immune function, anti-aging, prevention and treatment of arteriosclerosis, reduction of blood viscosity, anti-rheumatoid arthritis, endocrine regulation, pain relief, anti-inflammatory, lowering blood pressure, treatment of osteoporosis, Endocrine regulation, treatment of chronic hepatitis, etc.
- Antitumor
Organic germanium has achieved remarkable results in animal experiments and clinical studies and is widely used in clinical practice. In recent years, Japan, the United States, Sweden, and other countries have had curative effects on gastric cancer, lung cancer, uterus, breast cancer, prostate cancer, and multiple bone marrow.
- hypotensive
By administering germanium amino acid to experimental rats for 0.5-8h, it was observed that there was a significant continuous hypotensive effect. Meanwhile, there was no apparent effect on their heart rate, and no hypotensive effect on normal rats. Another report said ten hypertensive patients were orally treated with 0.3g/l organic germanium. The results showed that organic germanium could effectively reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure and improve hypertension’s clinical symptoms.
- Anti-Aging
Immunomodulatory functions are closely related to many trace elements, such as zinc and germanium. Organic germanium can resist lipid peroxidation, increase immune function, and have anti-cancer and anti-hypertensive functions. Therefore, organic germanium has anti-aging effects. Ge-132 anti-aging clinical experiments have been reported.
- Prevention and treatment of arteriosclerosis
Using Ge-132 to prevent and treat arteriosclerosis, the observation results show that lipids in plasma will not stay in blood vessels and cause arterial intima damage, blood viscosity will decrease, and blood flow velocity tends to be expected. In clinical experiments, 90 mg of Ge-132 and 10 mg of organic selenium were used to treat patients with coronary heart disease caused by arteriosclerosis, and satisfactory curative effects were obtained.
- Treatment of chronic hepatitis
Ge-132 has a significant inhibitory effect on liver injury induced by chemical and immunosuppression. Clinical observation of 500 hepatitis B and non-B hepatitis cases showed that liver function improved, clinical symptoms improved, and minor side effects.
- Effects on the blood system
of occupational leukocytosis, Ge-132 and vitamins were used in combination. 132 90mg/d, 1-2 courses of treatment, the clinical course improved, white blood cells and platelets tended to be expected, the mechanism of action may be the effect of leukopenia caused by the regulation of immune function by organic germanium. It has been reported that organic germanium has been used for radiation protection and hematopoietic function. In the experimental research, Shanghai has case reports of clinical efficacy.
- Treatment of osteoporosis
In 1983, Japan first published an article on the therapeutic effect of Ge-132 on senile osteoporosis. Organic germanium improves bone cell activity, participates in alkaline phosphatase metabolism, and resists osteoporosis. Countries around the world enter the aging society and develop Ge-132. 132 In the treatment of osteoporosis, fractures can be reduced.
- Treatment of rheumatoid arthritis
It is reported that 10 cases of rheumatoid arthritis were treated with organic germanium 10.3g/l and oral liquid, all of which were joint pain and deformity of different degrees. After 30 days of treatment, the symptoms gradually improved, the joint swelling and pain subsided, the laboratory indicators improved significantly, and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate gradually became normal. Organogermanium has immune-regulating, anti-inflammatory, and anti-pain effects, thus treating rheumatoid arthritis.
