Vimang is used in collateral cancer therapy and also shows excellent results in the improvement of the quality of life of terminally ill patients with HIV, systemic lupus, and infertility in women.
About 5 years ago, the Centre of Pharmaceutical Chemistry (CQF) began to produce its latest Cuban product, Vimang, for the international market. At a press conference in Havana, Dr. Alberto Nunez, Director of the CQF, described this natural product as an immune system regulator and a strong anti-oxidant effective against oxidant stress as well as having analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties.

Vimang is now patented in over 20 countries and marketed in more than 50 and is available as a cosmetic cream, flavoured tablets or in powdered form
