Neuroprotective Properties of Astaxanthin

By admin|2022-09-27T11:02:37+00:00September 27th, 2022|Categories: Haematococcus Pluvialis Astaxanthin|

There have been numerous studies concerning the beneficial effects of astaxanthin. Astaxanthin-mediated neuroprotection in experimental models of neurological disorders involves anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, and anti-apoptotic mechanisms. The following sections will delve into these molecular mechanisms and their potential as treatments for neurological diseases. Anti-Oxidant Effects Oxidative stress is a key mediator in the pathology of neurological diseases. [...]

Health Benefits of Grifola frondosa (Maitake)

By admin|2022-09-16T04:22:45+00:00September 16th, 2022|Categories: Uncategorized|

Antitumor Effects Over the past 30 years, previous studies have strongly suggested three possible ways by which G. frondosa exerts its anticancer effect—protection of healthy cells, prevention of tumor metastasis, and inhibition of tumor growth. In other words, G. frondosa can fight against tumors directly and indirectly via enhancement of the immune system. The antitumor activity [...]

Bioactive Ingredients of Grifola frondosa (Maitake)

By admin|2022-09-15T12:19:21+00:00September 15th, 2022|Categories: Uncategorized|

Polysaccharides In the past 30 years, over 47 bioactive polysaccharide fractions have been isolated and purified from the fruiting body, mycelium, and cultured medium of G. frondosa using different extraction methods. G. frondosa contains 3.8% water-soluble polysaccharides on a dry weight basis, of which 13.2% was (1→3, 1→6)-β-D-glucan, and others include heteroglycan or the heteroglycan/protein complex. Among [...]

Sea Buckthorn Oil Enhances Proliferation, Adipocytes Differentiation and Insulin Sensitivity

By admin|2022-09-03T08:34:53+00:00September 3rd, 2022|Categories: Sea buckthorn Oil|

Effect of sea buckthorn oil on 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes proliferation Cytotoxicity is one key indicator in evaluating the effects of a particular chemical compound on a given cell line. In our study, the Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay was employed to determine the cytotoxicity of sea buckthorn oil on 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. The addition of sea buckthorn oil at [...]

The Antiviral Potential of Reishi Ganoderma Lucidum Lingzhi

By admin|2022-09-02T08:31:29+00:00September 2nd, 2022|Categories: Reishi|

Ganoderma lucidum against Enterovirus 71 (EV71) Since 1969, "the same year in which the infection of human enterovirus 71 (EV71) infection was identified for the first time", the infection mechanism has not been fully understood. However, this viral infection was associated with several clinical diseases, ranging from neurological disorders to hand–foot–mouth disease (HFMD), and is considered a [...]

The Effect of Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil in Lipid Metabolism of Human Skin

By admin|2022-08-21T09:35:21+00:00August 21st, 2022|Categories: Sea buckthorn Oil|

As the major components of the outer skin layer are lipids, we can infer that using lipid derivatives will enhance skin conditions. Therefore, plant oils can be used as a source of compounds that may protect skin cells due to their multidirectional activities, including anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidants, as well as the source of fatty acids. [...]

Astaxanthin Inhibits Cigarette Smoke-Induced Emphysema

By admin|2022-08-20T09:23:37+00:00August 20th, 2022|Categories: Haematococcus Pluvialis Astaxanthin|

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is caused by the prolonged inhalation of toxic gases, primarily cigarette smoke. Cigarette smoke contains many harmful substances, such as oxidants. It has been hypothesized that the etiology of COPD stems from an oxidant-antioxidant imbalance and a protease–antiprotease imbalance. Oxidative stress is an important factor in COPD pathogenesis. Therefore, antioxidant treatment [...]

The Role of Astaxanthin in Liver Diseases

By admin|2022-08-16T09:43:57+00:00August 16th, 2022|Categories: Haematococcus Pluvialis Astaxanthin|Tags: astaxanthin-liver-diseases|

Due to its various biological activities, astaxanthin has been used to prevent and treat various systemic diseases in vivo. In recent years, researchers have confirmed that astaxanthin is important in preventing acute liver injury, alleviating insulin resistance and NAFLD, liver fibrosis, and liver cancer. Liver Fibrosis Liver fibrosis is a key link in chronic liver diseases [...]

Anti-aging of Bioactive Components in Ganoderma Lucidum (reishi)

By admin|2022-08-15T09:49:43+00:00August 15th, 2022|Categories: Reishi|Tags: anti-ageing-reishi|

The bioactive components in Ganoderma lucidum that mediate their anti-aging or anti-aging-related functions mainly include polysaccharides, triterpenes, peptides, and polysaccharide peptides. We will first outline their general characteristics and describe their lifespan extension and related effects. Polysaccharides are the most important contributors to the bioactivity and medical application of Ganoderma lucidum. It has been reported that these [...]
