Fungal Polysaccharide: the Soul of Edible Fungi

Fungal polysaccharides: the soul of edible fungi and the source power of activating cells

What is a fungus?

Fungi are different from animals and plants and are a kind of microorganisms different from bacteria. The fungi we are talking about here mainly refer to edible and medicinal fungi, which are a large class of higher fungi with large fruiting bodies.

Edible and medicinal fungi are the combined name of edible fungi and medicinal fungi.

Edible fungi refer to a kind of higher fungi for human consumption, such as Lentinus edodes, hericium Erinaceus, Coprinus comatus, etc., while medicinal fungi refer to a kind of higher fungi that can be used as medicine, such as Ganoderma lucidum, Cordyceps sinensis and so on.

There is no strict boundary between edible and medicinal fungi, which can not only be used as delicious and nutritious dishes, but also has high medical and health care value.

The Health value of Fungi

Edible and medicinal fungus is a kind of neutral health food, which is suitable for all kinds of sub-health people.

Edible and medicinal fungi contain many effective ingredients for human health, such as fungal polysaccharides, adenosine, purine, pyrimidines, and some also contain triterpenoids, sterols, flavonoids, taurine, lactone, organic acids and other active ingredients.

These ingredients are especially suitable for the needs of the human body and have high health value to the human body.

These ingredients of edible and medicinal fungi have unique health effects, such as anti-tumor, regulating immunity, reducing blood lipids, lowering blood pressure, improving the anti-fatigue ability of the body, etc., and have no toxic side effects.

With the development of society, people's living standards are constantly improving, and their awareness of self-care is getting stronger and stronger. people's pursuit has shifted from "disease-free" to "health and longevity", and the quality of life has been further improved.

Therefore, to find and develop natural and effective health care treasures has become a new mission for contemporary health care scientists and technicians. Edible and medicinal fungi, which come from nature, have excellent efficacy and no toxic side effects, have naturally entered the attention of scientific and technological workers. The development and application of macrofungi has become a new starting point in health care in the 21st century.

Fungal Polysaccharide-- the Soul of the function of Edible Fungi

Scientists have warned: "without immunity, life will stop", and domestic and foreign experts have proved that all macrofungi almost without exception have good immune regulation, mainly because they all contain "polysaccharides".

"fungal polysaccharides" is not a general concept of "sugar". As a kind of active polymer compound, it is a kind of β-type 1 heteroglycan with three-dimensional structure, which does not cause the increase of blood sugar, has unique pharmacological effects such as improving immunity, and is safe without side effects. It is the soul of the function of edible fungi.

Fungal polysaccharides-- the source power of repairing and activating cells

Receptors on the cell membrane often fall off due to a variety of reasons, such as chemical pollution (pesticides, chemicals, industrial emissions, etc.), radiation, mental stress, bad habits (smoking, alcohol abuse, etc.), aging. Can cause cell damage.

After the receptor on the cell membrane falls off, the polysaccharides in the cell stroma will be linked again, forming a dynamic balance. When there is a lack of extracellular polysaccharides, the function of the cell membrane can not be repaired in time, the intracellular active substances will overflow, and the cell function will decline and cause disease.

Fungal polysaccharides can timely supplement the lack of polysaccharides in the stroma, so that the damaged cells can be repaired in time, maintain cell health, prolong cell life, so as to achieve the purpose of human health.

Fungal polysaccharides can significantly improve the fluidity and sealing of cell membrane, and if the fluidity and sealing of cell membrane are improved, the physiological function of cells will be improved and the cells will remain young. When the cells are young, the human body will be healthy and full of vitality.

In addition, human immunity will change according to different conditions of the human body. When the environment changes, foreign bodies invade, the body ages, overload work, chemical drugs, radiation and other damage to the human body, the vitality of immune cells will be reduced. In this case, immune activation is urgently needed. Fungal polysaccharides are good immune activators.
