Ganoderma lucidum methanolic extract as a potent phytoconstituent: characterization, in-vitro antimicrobial and cytotoxic activity

mycolabadmin

Researchers tested a medicinal mushroom extract (Reishi/Ganoderma lucidum) to see if it could fight cancer and bacterial infections. The extract showed promising results, being particularly effective against blood cancer and breast cancer cells while being less toxic to normal healthy cells. It also killed bacteria better than some standard antibiotics, suggesting it could potentially be developed into a new type of medicine for treating cancer and infections.

Chaga mushroom triterpenoids as adjuncts to minimally invasive cancer therapies: A review

mycolabadmin

Chaga mushroom, a fungus that grows on birch trees, contains special compounds called triterpenoids that can kill cancer cells in laboratory tests. Some of these compounds, particularly inotodiol and betulinic acid, show anti-cancer activity similar to or better than conventional chemotherapy drugs. While promising, researchers need to improve how these compounds are absorbed in the body and test them more thoroughly in animals and humans before they can be used clinically.
