therapeutic action: anti-inflammation

Development and preliminary mechanistic analysis of compound effervescent hepatoprotective granules

Researchers developed a new health product combining three medicinal plants to protect the liver from injury. The mixture contains effective compounds that reduce liver inflammation, fight harmful oxidative stress, and protect liver cells from damage. Studies in rats showed the product improved liver function and reduced markers of liver damage, suggesting it could be useful for preventing and treating liver injuries caused by drugs, alcohol, or toxins.

Antrodia Camphorata Supplement in the Early Life Inhibits Intestinal Tumorigenesis Later in Young Adult APC1638N Mice

Researchers found that a mushroom supplement called Antrodia camphorate, when given to mice during childhood and adolescence, helped prevent intestinal tumors when the mice reached young adulthood. This effect was especially strong in mice that ate a high-fat diet early in life. The supplement appears to work by reducing inflammation and blocking certain proteins involved in tumor growth.

Delivery of Phenolic Compounds, Peptides and β-Glucan to the Gastrointestinal Tract by Incorporating Dietary Fibre-Rich Mushrooms into Sorghum Biscuits

This study examined how adding mushroom powder to sorghum biscuits affects the availability of beneficial compounds in our digestive system. Using laboratory simulations of stomach and intestinal digestion, researchers found that mushroom-enriched biscuits released more phenolic compounds with antioxidant properties throughout the digestive tract. Importantly, the mushroom fiber helped carry beneficial β-glucan compounds to the colon, where they can be fermented by gut bacteria to produce health-promoting compounds.

Selenoproteins in Health

Selenium is an essential nutrient that your body needs for healthy immune function, protection against oxidative stress, and proper thyroid function. While you can get selenium from foods like grains, vegetables, nuts, and animal products, the amount available depends on soil selenium levels in the regions where food is grown. Organic forms of selenium from food sources are more effective and safer than inorganic supplements, providing better protection against diseases like cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular conditions.
