Question
QUESTION: Hello doctor. Im making a research about maluggay on intestinal worms,i just wanted to ask what are the chemical components that kills the instestinal worms?

ANSWER: Dear Jovi,

Hi ! First of all let me clarify I am not a Doctor. I am Chemical Engineer who is totally in love with Naturals !!

Answering your specific query,

Malunggay contains calcium, iron, phosphorous, thiamin, beta-carotene, vitamins A, B, C, and E and lipoprotein. These are consider to be anti-bacterial and anti-cancer due to the phyto-chemicals present in its leaves.

Malunggay leaves and roots are anthelmintic that can get rids of helminths or parasitic worms from the body.Pods are also used for intestinal parasitism.

Hope the above presently suffices your query.

B.Regds.
