Guest guest Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Artemisinin is the basic version... but there is a compounded stronger version " Artemix " made with two other synthesized versions of artemisinin:Artemisinin, Artemether, and Artesunate) Artemix contains all three of the drugs These work stronger and not the same as artemisinin in the gut. Artemether is the only component in the group that reacts to food (iron) in the gut.. So taken with Yoghurt on empty stomach is advised... See instructions below from Dr. Singh ( Washington University) " Artemix from Wellcare (www.hepalin.com) may be taken 3-4 hours after dinner with a cup of milk or spoonful of ice cream (without flavors or additives e.g. Brayers natural vanilla) and once a week with few spoons of yogurt (having fat, but no flavors or fruits) with live lactobacillus. The purpose of giving 3-4 hour interval after evening meal is to make sure stomach is almost empty, as the drug interacts with the iron contents of food. " Dee Yes Cheryl if you are taking normal artemisinin it is 1 capsule morning and night so twice a day with food. I take the stronger version Artemix. That is only 1 time a day and on empty stomach. I have talked to the doctors/founds of Artemisinin at Washington University and have their information and many published details about taking artemisinin.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Yes. Only the Artemether reacts with iron in the stomach. Dee Ok I think I understand. I have artemisia from nutri cology it only contains which is a concentrated extract of the leaves of artemisia annua. So that would be taken with food?

Dee I have read so much on this but can't find anyplace about if you should take Iron or not while taking Artemisinin. I have it and want to start taking but I'm unsure about the iron deal. Also, while on this should you also take liver cleanse? Thanks! in MN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 There is no need to supplement the diet with iron while on artemisinin. Enough iron in diet is sufficient.
