Lion’s mane extract has many benefits for the nervous system, mainly including the following aspects: 1. Improving nerve function Nourishing nerve function Lion's mane extract is rich in various nutrients, such as vitamin B group (including vitamin B₁, B₂, B₆, etc.). Vitamin B₁ is a necessary nutrient for the normal operation of the nervous system and [...]
Lion's mane extract has many significant benefits for the digestive system: 1. Enhancing digestive function Promoting secretion of digestive enzymes Lion's mane extract can stimulate gastric mucosal cells and prompt gastric glands to secrete more gastric juice, which includes important digestive enzymes such as pepsin. Pepsin can break down food proteins into smaller peptide segments and [...]
Turkey tail(Trametes versicolor) mushroom has important effects in anti-cancers, mainly reflected in the following aspects: Enhancing immune anticancer: Turkey tail mushroom is rich in polysaccharides, such as components such as PSK (polysaccharide K) and PSP (polysaccharide peptide). These polysaccharides can activate the human immune system and stimulate the activity and proliferation of immune cells such as [...]
As the name implies, Ganoderma lucidum extract is the effective ingredient extracted from Ganoderma lucidum. Specifically, the fruiting bodies of Ganoderma lucidum are selected and a series of processes such as solid-state fermentation are carried out to extract the effective components such as triterpenoids and polysaccharides from it. While Ganoderma lucidum spore powder is the substance [...]
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a heterogeneous group of clonal bone marrow stem cell disorders characterized by ineffective erythropoiesis with dysplastic bone marrow leading to peripheral blood cytopenias a variable propensity for progression to acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). Neutropenia occurs in 50 % of newly diagnosed patients, more frequently in those with higher-risk (70–80 %) than lower-risk [...]
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease with an estimated 2–3% prevalence in the population above 65 years of age. The prevalence increases with age, from 1% at age 45–55 to 4% (men) and 2% (women) at age 85. Typical examples are the motor symptoms related to (nonreversible) loss of dopaminergic cells in the substantia nigra. [...]
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the deposition of amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques, neuronal loss, and neurofibrillary tangles. In addition, neuroinflammatory processes are thought to contribute to AD pathophysiology. Maitake (Grifola frondosa), an edible/medicinal mushroom, exhibits high nutritional value and contains many health-beneficial, bioactive compounds. It has been reported that proteo-β-glucan, a polysaccharide derived from Maitake (PGM), [...]
Lion’s Mane Lion’s mane (Hericium erinaceus), an edible and medicinal mushroom species, is widespread across East Asia. Its medicinal properties have been known for several ages, as evidenced by its use in traditional Asian folk medicine. The bioactive compounds identified in Lion’s mane include indole, fenol, steroid, and lactone compounds, terpenoids (erinacines, hericerins, and hericenones.), alkaloids (hericirine), polysaccharides, [...]
Coriolus Versicolor (CV), also known as Turkey Tail, is a kind of folk medicine and edible fungus growing on tree trunks. The main components of CV are proteins, fats, polysaccharides, polysaccharide peptides, glucans, amino acids, and a variety of inorganic salts. Coriolus Versicolor polysaccharide (CVP) is one of the important bioactive substances in CV. It has [...]
As part of traditional Chinese medication regimens, cordyceps extract has previously been shown to ameliorate various diseases, including metabolic anomalies. However, it needs to be clarified what the bioactive ingredient in cordyceps extracts is and the molecular mechanisms through which these extracts elicit beneficial effects. Here we demonstrate that myriocin, a pharmacological inhibitor of ceramide biosynthesis in [...]
