Coriolus versicolor, the cloud fungus mushroom contains certain polysaccharides (PSK, PSP), which have shown to be well absorbed orally. These two polysaccharides have attracted much interest as powerful immune stimulators.
Shitake contains various polysaccharides, Lentinan, which is not well absorbed orally and the KS-2 shitake polysaccharide, which is. The small amount of protein bound to the KS-2 fraction enhances its absorption.
Reishi has been used with benefit in a wide variety of health conditions. It is reputed benefits in reducing the side effects of radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery, high altitude stress, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, chronic fatigue syndrome, and weakness of the lungs, wasting syndromes, difficulty concentrating, poor digestion, insomnia, and poorly regulated immune response.
Reishi is rated in a category of herbs called ‘Superior’ due to its lack of side effects and multiple benefits. Reishi is the only known source of ganoderic acids, which have a similar structure to steroid hormones. These ganoderic acids are responsible for Reishi’s anti-allergy and improved oxygen utilization benefits.
AHCC (Active Hexose Correlated Compound) is a hybrid composed of 5 mushrooms grafted to grow as one. The polysaccharides in this formula absorb very easily due to their reduced molecular size. Results from initial trials have been very encouraging. This may be the strongest immune regulator yet.
Maitake mushroom or “dancing mushroom” and Cordyceps are also mushrooms known for their beneficial contributions to good health, often eaten as a nutritive food.
