(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2024-04-22) Gabriel Meza, Cynthia; Paredes Sanchez, Violeta Marisol; Cueva Mestanza, Rubén Eduardo
The general objective of this research was to identify the level of knowledge and attitudes regarding natural products among customers who visit the “Vida Verde” health stores in Lima – 2023. The research methodology followed a deductive method, with a quantitative approach, basic type, non-experimental design, cross-sectional scope, and descriptive reach. The study population consisted of 22,500 customers who entered the fifteen “Vida Verde” stores located in Lima during one month. The sample was selected probabilistically, applying a statistical formula for finite populations, resulting in 378 customers who consume natural products. They were evaluated using two research instruments that were validated through expert judgment by three specialists in the field, and reliability was determined using Cronbach’s alpha (α = 0.974; α = 0.962).After tabulation and data processing, the results showed that the use of natural products was expressed at a high level (51.9%); types of diseases were at a medium level (86.2%); efficacy was also at a medium level (76.5%); and safety was evidenced at a medium level (58.2%). Therefore, it was concluded that the knowledge and attitudes regarding natural products among customers attending “Vida Verde” health stores were mostly at a medium level: knowledge (72%) and attitudes (71.4%).

Cumplimiento del rotulado según decreto vigente para los productos naturales que se comercializan en un mercado de abastos de Lima Metropolitana en el año 2022
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2024-02-22) Rodríguez Taype, Pilar; Vásquez Álvarez, Mercedes Soledad; Muñoz Jáuregui, Manuel Jesús
The present research aimed to analyze compliance with the labeling of natural health products according to Supreme Decree No. 016-2011-SA, whose regulation was later amended by Supreme Decree No. 001-2012-SA, which establishes that natural health products are governed by Supreme Decree No. 010-97-SA. This study followed a quantitative approach, was applied in type, with a non-experimental and observational design, and had a descriptive cross-sectional level. The population consisted of natural products marketed in the Hierba Santa 1 and 2 supply markets in the city of Lima, with a sample of 200 natural products from different laboratories, selected through non-probabilistic convenience sampling. Data collection was carried out through observation using a checklist as an instrument. The results showed that 99% did not comply with correct labeling according to Supreme Decree No. 010-97-SA, while only 1% did comply. Therefore, the findings highlight the weak control of the regulatory entity in these commercial settings, which poses a risk to public health by allowing unsafe products, as well as the delays in improving the regulation of these products by continuing to rely on outdated norms.

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2025-02-24) Llaja Vega, Edelith Consuelo; Rojas Landeon, Yovana Esther; Collantes Tumialan, Yahir Alexander Oswald
El objetivo general de esta investigación fue determinar la relación entre el cumplimiento del rotulado y la satisfacción de los usuarios de productos de origen natural comercializados en el Mercado Unicachi, Comas – 2024. Los objetivos específicos analizaron la relación entre la identificación del producto, la información del fabricante, la seguridad y la trazabilidad con la satisfacción del usuario. La metodología empleada tuvo un enfoque cuantitativo, de tipo básico, con un diseño no experimental, de corte transversal y alcance correlacional. La población estuvo conformada por 580 productos de origen natural y 580 usuarios, mientras que la muestra, calculada mediante la fórmula para poblaciones finitas, incluyó 200 productos y 200 usuarios, seleccionados a través de un muestreo por conveniencia. Para la recolección de datos, se utilizaron dos instrumentos: una lista de cotejo para evaluar el cumplimiento del rotulado y un cuestionario adaptado del modelo SERVQUAL para medir la satisfacción del usuario. El análisis de los datos se realizó mediante el software SPSS y la prueba de correlación de Spearman. Los resultados mostraron que el 64% de los productos no cumplía con los requisitos de rotulado, mientras que solo el 36% sí los cumplía. Se encontró una correlación positiva alta entre el cumplimiento del rotulado y la satisfacción del usuario (Rho = 0,774, p = 0,000). Además, se identificaron correlaciones significativas entre la identificación del producto (Rho = 0,334), la información del fabricante (Rho = 0,452) y la seguridad y trazabilidad (Rho = 0,547) con la satisfacción del usuario. En conclusión, se determinó una relación positiva y significativa entre el cumplimiento del rotulado y la satisfacción del usuario, destacando que la mejora en la identificación del producto, la información del fabricante y la trazabilidad incrementa la confianza y satisfacción del consumidor.

Evaluación del efecto antiinflamatorio de la grasa de Boa constrictor constrictor "Boa Mantona" comercializada en el Emporio Comercial de Gamarra – La Victoria. Lima 2015
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2018-01-29) Atequipa Quispe, Jessica; Cabrera Pachacama, Elisabeth; Chávez Flores, Juana Elvira
An experimental study was conducted to determine the anti-inflammatory effect of Boa constrictor constrictor fat (“Boa Mantona”) using the xylene-induced ear edema method in mice. The study population consisted of 48 mice, distributed into six groups of eight animals each. Topical applications included pure Boa fat, creams formulated with the fat at concentrations of 15%, 20%, and 30%, and the reference drug diclofenac 1% cream. Simultaneously, a physicochemical and analytical study of Boa constrictor constrictor fat was performed. For statistical analysis, descriptive and inferential methods were applied; data were processed to determine the mean ± standard deviation, and ANOVA was employed for inferential analysis. The results showed that the fat of Boa constrictor constrictor and the creams at 20% and 30% concentrations produced significant anti-inflammatory effects (p<0.05), indicating a differentiated anti-inflammatory response. In the analytical study, gas chromatography revealed that 97.7% of the fatty acids were identified, of which 31.9% were saturated fatty acids, 43.6% monounsaturated fatty acids, and 22.2% polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3).
