abnobaVISCUM

The medicinal product abnobaVISCUM differs from other mistletoe products with regard to the following features:

Preclinical
Cytotoxic

  • abnobaVISCUM is the only product for which mistletoe lectins are detectable in the serum following subcutaneous injection.

abnobaVISCUM during chemotherapy
Cytochrome P450

  • • abnobaVISCUM is the only product for which it has been confirmed that it does not impair the activity of cytochrom P450.

Pharmaceutical

  • No oxidative change to the active substance (mistletoe extract)
    From the time of storage of the harvested material until it is filled into ampoules, abnobaVISCUM is produced using a shielding gas to exclude the oxidative changes that are identifiable from the brown staining of similar products.
  • Liposomal processing
    Natural liposomes contained in the extract explain both the good availability and good tolerability of the medicinal products.
  • Highest mistletoe lectin and viscotoxin content
    Due to the patented manufacture of the pressed juice, 75% of the plant material used is solubilised. In this way, reproducibly high concentrations of mistletoe lectins and viscotoxins are obtained in the extract. It should be stressed that both groups of ingredients are equally well extracted.
    Despite its high active substance content compared with other mistletoe products, abnobaVISCUM is very well tolerated.
