Cyanthox™ May Promotes gastric ulcer healing*
Design: Randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial was conducted in 80 participants diagnosed with Chronic Gastritis aged between 17 - 64 years old
Dosage: Oral intake of 3 x 250mg sea buckthorn proanthocyanidins (SBOPC) or 2 x 1g placebo (Amoxicillin) per day for 1 month
Result:
10% more overall improvement than Amoxicillin
22% more reduction in apoptotic index of the gastric mucosal epithelial cell than Amoxicillin
11% more participants turn from Helicobacter Pylori positive to negative than Amoxicillin
overall Efficacy
Apoptotic index
Helicobacter Pylori
Conclusion: Sea buckthorn proanthocyanidins promote peptic ulcer healing by killing H. pylori. The mechanism was suggested to be reducing the gastric mucosa expression of PAF (Platelet-activating factor, a mediator of allergic and inflammatory processes) and increase the expression of MK (Midkine, a protective factor of the gastric mucosa).

Cyanthox™ may Promotes intestinal Ulcer healing*
Design: Randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial was conducted in 120 participants diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis aged between 17 – 74 years old
Dosage: Oral intake of 4 x 10mL sea buckthorn proanthocyanidins extract (Solid Concentration: 0.5g/mL)(SBOPC) or 4 x 1g placebo (Sulfasalazine) per day for 4 weeks
Result:
16% more overall improvement than Sulfasalazine
Increases pS2 Expression by 82%
Increases Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) by 69%
Reduces Malondialdehyde (MDA) by 60%
Overall Efficacy
ps2 expression
SOD & MDA
Conclusion: Sea buckthorn proanthocyanidins promotes gastric mucosal by increasing pS2 expression, which reduces gastric mucosal epithelial cell death. It also increases SOD and reduces MDA, reducing damages by free radicals.

Cyanthox™ may Promotes peptic ulcer healing and prevents its occurrence*
Design: Randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial was conducted in 72 participants diagnosed with Peptic Ulcer aged between 18 – 65 years old
Dosage: Oral intake of 3 x 500mg sea buckthorn proanthocyanidins extract capsule(SBOPC) or 2 x 0.15g placebo (Ranitidine) per day for 4 weeks
Result:
Similar overall performance as Ranitidine
43% more increase in Hexosamine than Ranitidine
26% more increase in Phospholipid than Ranitidine
45% increase in Intestinal Trefoil Peptides positive (ITF+) expression rate.
77% increase in pS2 expression.
Overall Efficacy
Hexosamine
phospholipid
Conclusion: Sea buckthorn proanthocyanidins promote peptic ulcer healing by increasing the synthesis of hexosamine and phospholipid, which improves gastric mucosal hydrophobicity. It also increases ITF+ and pS2 expressions, which reduces gastric mucosal epithelial cell death.
