Medicinal Mushroom

Medicinally active mushrooms such as cordyceps have been collected from nature and used for a long time; however, the cultivation of mushrooms for the production of medicinal compounds is a new practice, dating only from the late 1970’s.

Cordyceps are yet largely untapped resource that have potential to become a powerful pharmaceutical product. Mushrooms have unlimited source of polysaccharides with antitumor and immunostimulant properties.

R2T Biopharma herbal supplements are manufactured using mushrooms grown on certified organic substrates and additives. The raw materials are incubated in the labs using special technology for maintaining high quality. The mushrooms are grown using the extracted mycelium from cordyceps in Tibet mountain. Each aspect of the growth cycle is controlled to ensure consumers receive the highest quality and most consistent medicinal mushroom product available anywhere.

The graph below shows how components uracil, cytosine, adenosine, and cordycepin in mycelium are similar to natural cordyceps.

Since the efficacy of cordyceps varies depending on where it is produced, R2T Bio Pharma produces the herbal supplements by blending with the best ratio found to provide the highest quality and most consistent medicinal mushroom product available anywhere.

A synergistic combination of extracts from medicinal mushrooms have been recognized in effectiveness on glucose metabolism. Cordyceps sinensis, Grifola frondose, Letinula edodes, and Trametes versicolor are the representative supplement properties.

 

Efficacy of Medical Mushroom

According to scientific reports, the Cordyceps active component of cordycepin is useful for its potential application in various ailments such as anti-cancer, anti-diabetes, anti-hyperlipidemia, anti-hypertension, anti-osteoporotic, anti-arthritic, antioxidant, antiviral, and hepato-protective.

Cordycepin and Anti-Inflammatory Effects: A study has shown that cordycepin suppresses intestinal irritation in an acute colitis mouse model and reported to attenuate airway remodeling in rats with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by preventing airway inflammation. Cordycepin has all the potential to become a potent bioactive anti-inflammatory component.

Cordycepin and Antioxidant Effect: Cordycepin has been reported to significantly increase the levels of antioxidant enzymes. Cordycepin containing protein bound polysaccharide causes a reduction in lipid peroxidation as well as an increase in the activity of antioxidant enzymes in the liver like catalase and superoxide dismutase.

Cordycepin and Cardiovascular Diseases (Hyperlipidemia) Cordycepin has been found very effective in lipid reduction, due to its chemical structural similarity with adenosine. Cordycepin reduces the accumulation of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol and triglycerides effectively.

Cordycepin and Diabetes: A research has shown cordycepin has found to suppress the expression of diabetes-regulating genes through the inactivation.

Cordycepin and Immunomodulatory Effects: Cordycepin was found that the antitumor activity of cordycepin is associated with its immunomodulatory effects. The polysaccharide contained in cordyceps sinensis has high anti-cancer component with 83% tumor suppression rate. Research studies are showing that cordycepin is a bi-directional modulator with both suppressive as well as influencing effects on the immune system by regulating the adaptive and innate immunity.
