Action note: In: Summary: ABSTRACT: This research aimed to determine the effects of Brand X capsule and Brand Y capsule herbal supplements on chromosomes using Allium test. A positive result may indicate a precautionary effect of the drug on diving cells. Most cells of the body are composed of actively dividing cells. The first herbal capsule containing ground fruits and seeds of Momordica charantia was labelled as Brand X while the second herbal capsule containing silymarin ingredient was labelled as Brand Y. The treatment concentrations were patterned on recommended dosage specified on box label. Treatments using Brand X capsule were represented as Dosage 2, Dosage 3, and Dosage 6. Dosage 2 was represented as 2 Brand X capsules dissolved in hot water. Dosage 3 was represented as 3 capsules while Dosage 6 was represented as 6 capsules. The treatment s using Brand Y capsule were represented as Dosage 1, Dosage 2, and Dosage 3. The onion root tips (Allium cepa var. aggregatum) were treated by Brand x capsules and Brand Y capsules for hours. Distilled water was used as the control. The treated roots were excised and fixed for microscopic observations as the mitotic index and chromosomal aberrations. Other roots were measured for its root length. Statistical analysis composed one one-way ANOVA, Tukey's multiple comparisons, and Dunnett's pairwise comparison on the SPSS software was used to compare any significant changes on the roots. The mitotic index of Brand X treated root cells were decreased significantly as the dosage treatment capsule increased. Mitotic index of Dosage 2 and Dosage 3 of Brand Y capsule were decreased as well. The percent chromosomal aberration was higher in treated roots of Brand X capsules compared with Brand Y capsules.

ABSTRACT: This research aimed to determine the effects of Brand X capsule and Brand Y capsule herbal supplements on chromosomes using Allium test. A positive result may indicate a precautionary effect of the drug on diving cells. Most cells of the body are composed of actively dividing cells. The first herbal capsule containing ground fruits and seeds of Momordica charantia was labelled as Brand X while the second herbal capsule containing silymarin ingredient was labelled as Brand Y. The treatment concentrations were patterned on recommended dosage specified on box label. Treatments using Brand X capsule were represented as Dosage 2, Dosage 3, and Dosage 6. Dosage 2 was represented as 2 Brand X capsules dissolved in hot water. Dosage 3 was represented as 3 capsules while Dosage 6 was represented as 6 capsules. The treatment s using Brand Y capsule were represented as Dosage 1, Dosage 2, and Dosage 3. The onion root tips (Allium cepa var. aggregatum) were treated by Brand x capsules and Brand Y capsules for hours. Distilled water was used as the control. The treated roots were excised and fixed for microscopic observations as the mitotic index and chromosomal aberrations. Other roots were measured for its root length. Statistical analysis composed one one-way ANOVA, Tukey's multiple comparisons, and Dunnett's pairwise comparison on the SPSS software was used to compare any significant changes on the roots. The mitotic index of Brand X treated root cells were decreased significantly as the dosage treatment capsule increased. Mitotic index of Dosage 2 and Dosage 3 of Brand Y capsule were decreased as well. The percent chromosomal aberration was higher in treated roots of Brand X capsules compared with Brand Y capsules.
