Fungal Species: Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum)

Synergistic immuno-modulatory activity in human macrophages of a medicinal mushroom formulation consisting of Reishi, Shiitake and Maitake

Researchers studied a combination of three medicinal mushroom extracts to see if they work better together than separately. They tested this formula on human immune cells called macrophages and found that the combination was significantly more powerful at boosting immune responses than any single mushroom extract alone. This synergistic effect means the three mushrooms enhance each other’s immune-stimulating properties, suggesting this formula combination could have potential therapeutic benefits for immune support.

Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Solanum tuberosum L. Polysaccharide and Its Limited Gene Expression Profile

Researchers studied a natural compound from potatoes called STP that reduces inflammation in the body. Using laboratory cells and animal models, they found that STP works similarly to the common pain reliever ibuprofen by reducing inflammatory chemicals and activating the body’s protective defense systems. This discovery suggests that potato-based polysaccharides could be developed into new treatments for inflammatory diseases and conditions related to oxidative stress.
