Commonly known as the "turkey tail" in North America, Coriolus versicolor (also known as Trametes Versicolor), is unique among the medicinal mushrooms, with extensive use in both traditional herbalism and modern clinical practice.The focus of the modern clinical use and research (over 400 published studies), has been the immuno-modulating and anti-tumor properties of the hot water extracted polysaccharides.

It is a medicinal mushroom widely prescribed for prophylaxis and treatment of cancer and infection in China. It has been extensively proved that the ingredients obtained from Coriolus versicolor display a wide array of biological activities, including stimulatory effects on different immune cells and inhibition of cancer growth.

Main benefits

Yunzhi is a natural edible and medicinal fungus. The active ingredient is polysaccharides. Due to the low polysaccharide content in the dried mushroom fruit body of Yunzhi, the human body absorbs poorly. Modern technological processes aim at the biological characteristics of the effective ingredients in Yunzhi Effective extraction and concentration to obtain high content of polysaccharide products, so it is also called Yunzhi polysaccharide or Yunzhi extract

Trametes Versicolor polysaccharide is the main active ingredient in Yunzhi extract: the molecular weight is above 1.3×10 6, it is a glucan containing β-glycosidic bond, and it is measured as β(1→3) and β(1→6 ) Glycosidic bond, the main active ingredient of Yunzhi extract is Yunzhi polysaccharide. Yunzhi Polysaccharide Extracted from Yunzhi mycelium and fermentation broth, both have extremely strong inhibitory activity against cancer cells.

Coriolus versicolor extract is mainly used for medicinal purposes, has the effect of dehumidification and phlegm, can treat lung disease and chronic bronchitis, persistent or chronic hepatitis, and can also be used as an immunotherapy drug for liver cancer patients.

The main active ingredient of Yunzhi is Yunzhi polysaccharide. Yunzhi polysaccharide The polysaccharides extracted from Yunzhi mycelium and fermentation broth have extremely strong inhibitory activity against cancer cells. Yunzhi polysaccharide is a protein-containing glucan, while the polysaccharide extracted from the fermentation broth contains no protein. The inhibitory rate of the extract on mouse sarcoma 180 and Ehrlich carcinoma was 80% and 100%, respectively. Yunzhi polysaccharide Yunzhi glycopeptide has been widely used in clinic for its antitumor effect, immune enhancement effect and liver protection.

Application

Coriolus versicolor polysaccharide has remarkable effect and high medicinal value. It can be used as raw materials for various medicines, health products and functional foods
