Black Fungus Mushroom Extract

What is Black Fungus Mushroom Extract?

Black Fungus Mushroom Extract Polysaccharides are extracted from high quality agaric mushrooms by the fermentation process. Auricularia auriculata extract is rich in polysaccharides, which are composed of monosaccharides such as L-fucose, L-arabinose, D-xylose, D-mannose, D-glucose and glucuronic acid.

Detailed introduction of efficacy:

Regulate blood lipids and protect cardiovascular system
Lower cholesterol and anti-thrombosis:

Adenosine in black fungus extract is an important active ingredient that can inhibit platelet aggregation, prevent blood coagulation and form thrombus, reduce the deposition of cholesterol in the blood, reduce blood viscosity and improve blood circulation.
The polysaccharides and dietary fiber it contains can bind to cholesterol in the intestine and promote its excretion from the body, thereby reducing the levels of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (“bad cholesterol”), and preventing cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, and coronary heart disease.
Improve vascular elasticity:
Minerals (such as potassium and calcium) and antioxidant components in the extract help maintain the normal elasticity of blood vessel walls and reduce the risk of vascular sclerosis.

Regulate blood sugar and assist in sugar control

Black fungus polysaccharides can enhance insulin sensitivity, promote the uptake and utilization of glucose by cells, inhibit the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates by the intestine, and slow down the rate of blood sugar rise after meals.
For diabetic patients or people with high blood sugar, appropriate supplementation can be used as a dietary aid to help stabilize blood sugar levels (but it cannot replace hypoglycemic drugs).

Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory

Free radical scavenging:
Black fungus extract is rich in antioxidant substances such as polyphenols and polysaccharides, which can effectively scavenge free radicals in the body, reduce the damage of oxidative stress to cells, delay the aging process, and reduce the risk of chronic inflammation.
Anti-inflammatory effect:
Studies have shown that its active ingredients can inhibit the release of inflammatory factors (such as tumor necrosis factor and interleukin), and have a certain auxiliary relief effect on inflammatory diseases such as arthritis and gastritis.

Promote intestinal health

The role of dietary fiber:
The extract retains the dietary fiber of black fungus, which can promote intestinal peristalsis, increase stool volume, and relieve constipation; at the same time, it can be used as a “nutrient” for intestinal probiotics, regulate the balance of intestinal flora, improve the intestinal microenvironment, and enhance the digestion and absorption function of the intestine.
Protect intestinal mucosa:
Polysaccharide components may reduce the absorption of intestinal toxins and reduce the risk of intestinal inflammation by enhancing the barrier function of the intestinal mucosa.

Enhance immunity

Black fungus polysaccharide is a core immunomodulatory component that can stimulate the proliferation and activity of immune cells (such as macrophages and T lymphocytes), promote the synthesis of immunoglobulins, enhance the body’s resistance to pathogens (bacteria, viruses, etc.), and reduce the occurrence of infectious diseases.
Its immunomodulatory effect is bidirectional, which can not only enhance the immunity of people with low immunity, but also regulate overactive immune responses to a certain extent (such as auxiliary conditioning of autoimmune diseases).

Auxiliary anti-tumor

Black fungus polysaccharide can inhibit the proliferation and metastasis of tumor cells by enhancing the body’s immune function (such as activating immune cells to recognize and kill tumor cells), and induce tumor cell apoptosis.
Studies have shown that it has a certain inhibitory effect on the growth of various tumor cells such as lung cancer, liver cancer, and gastric cancer, but most of them are in vitro or animal experiments, and clinical application still needs further research.

Other effects

Blood and iron supplementation:
Black fungus itself is rich in iron (mostly easily absorbed heme iron), and the extract retains some iron and B vitamins, which helps promote hemoglobin synthesis and assists in improving iron deficiency anemia.
Protect the liver:
Polysaccharide components may protect liver cells and improve liver function by enhancing the liver’s detoxification function and inhibiting oxidative damage to liver tissue, especially for chemical liver damage.
Weight loss assistance:
Dietary fiber can increase satiety, reduce calorie intake, and promote metabolism, which is suitable for people who want to lose weight as a diet.

Precautions

The efficacy of black fungus extract is closely related to the extraction process and the content of active ingredients, and the effects of different products may vary.
Its role is mainly “auxiliary conditioning” and cannot replace drug treatment of diseases (such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, etc., need to follow the doctor’s advice).
A few people may be allergic to black fungus, and you need to pay attention to the risk of allergies before use; pregnant women and patients with hemorrhagic diseases (such as gastric ulcer bleeding) should use it with caution (because adenosine may affect coagulation function).
