Ganoderma lucidum contains two polysaccharide molecules namely PSK and PSP, which have been shown to help inhibit the growth of cancer cells. In fact, the PSK extract from Ganoderma lucidum (also known as Krestin) has been used by the Japanese since the 1980s as an adjuvant therapy to reverse certain types of cancer.
Powerful polysaccharide active ingredient PSK, PSP of Yunzhi mushroom
Ganoderma lucidum contains beta-glucan polysaccharide which is known to help regulate and stimulate the immune system. One of these betaglucan-rich compounds is a protein-binding polysaccharide called polysaccharide-K (also known as PSK or Krestin) and is found only in Ganoderma lucidum.
Boosts natural killer cell activity
Ganoderma lucidum helps to naturally strengthen and activate “natural killer cells” also known as NKs (Natural killer cells). These are immune cells that provide a rapid protective response against tumor growth and virus-infected cells, acting much faster than other cells due to their ability to identify these cells. damaged cells and pathogens. Because NK cell levels are significantly reduced after radiation and chemotherapy, Ganoderma lucidum extract is considered particularly supportive when undergoing such procedures.
Uses of Yunzhi Mushroom
– Support to increase resistance, prevent the invasion of viruses and bacteria
– Helps reduce side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy
– Supports immune system stimulation
– Helps inhibit the growth of cancer cells
– Support to improve the quality of life for patients
– Helps reduce discomfort during cancer treatment
How to use Yunzhi Mushroom?
Yunzhi mushrooms can be taken as a tea, powder or capsule extract. But the best and most effective way to use this mushroom recommended by scientists is to use the hot water extracts in powdered capsule form, because the chitin (the hardening substances) has been removed. , thereby releasing the maximum beneficial active ingredient polysaccharide (PSK, PSP, VPS).
