PSP Polysaccharide-Peptide
Polysaccharide-peptide is a recent addition to the family of
medicinal-mushroom-extract products. Developed in China, extensive clinical
testing did not begin until the early 1990s.
Under NMR analysis the glucan portion of PSP is almost identical to that
of PSK® and VPS®; however, due to variations in fermentation media and
extraction methods, there are some differences. PSP contains arabinose and
rhamnose as single sugars but no fucose. The material used in the Japanese
research (PSK®) and VPS® contains fucose, but no arabinose. Also, PSK® and
VPS® contain protein in the non-polysaccharide portion of the molecule, PSP
contains peptides.
Indications
Immune modulation.*
Clinical Research
All clinical research has focused on the immuno-modulating* properties of
the polysaccharide-peptides.
Toxicity, Cautions, Contraindications
Coriolus polysaccharides are safe and nontoxic, having been used daily in
clinical studies lasting five to ten years. However, immuno-modulating
substances should be used with extreme care or avoided completely in
organ-transplant patients utilizing immuno-suppressive agents.
Active Constituents
Polysaccharide-Peptides ( 1-4,1-3)
Extraction Information
The active constituents, the polysaccharide-peptides, are found in the cell
walls of both the fruit bodies and the mycelium. Extraction with hot water,
followed by precipitation with ethanol, is used to isolate the
polysaccharide-peptides. This product is an intracellular mycelial extract from the Cov 1 strain of
Coriolus versicolor. The mycelium is grown on an all-natural,
chemical-free nutrient base and is produced through the deep layer
cultivation method, yielding the most bioactively potent mycelium for raw
material.
Description
Coriolus versicolor belongs to the family Polyporaceae and is
found throughout the wooded temperate zones of North America, Asia, and
Europe. Found predominantly on hardwoods, the thin, woody, shelf-like fruit
bodies form dense overlapping clusters on the sides of stumps and fallen
trees. The fruit bodies (mushrooms) have a plush, velvety surface, are
colored in varying shades of gray or brown, and have a distinctive pattern
of alternating bands of dark and light color. The bottom is cream colored
and porous.
Suggested Usage: Take 1-3 capsules twice times per day, after
meals.
