Coriolus versicolor VPS: helps Recovery from the anticancer
medicines - Enhance the cytotoxic activity of NK cells - Act as a potent
inducer tumor cytotoxicity - Stimulate the antigen-presenting cell
function of macrophage
Coriolus versicolor, turkey tail or Trametes versicolor in North
America, is unique among the medicinal mushrooms, with extensive use in
both traditional herbalism and modern clinical practice.Over the past 40 years, Coriolus versicolor has been
investigated in double blind clinical trials, in other types of human
clinical trials, in animal “models” of immune system breakdown as well
as radiation and chemical toxicity, in cell cultures, and biochemically
in test tubes.
What is Coriolus Versicolor?
Coriolus Versicolor is the most well researched mushroom in the world. Coriolus versicolor (formerly known as Trametes versicolor, Polyporus versicolor) is a mushroom that grows on tree trunks. In Japan it is known as kawaratake (“mushroom by the river bank”), and in China it is called Yun Zhi
or “cloud fungus.” This mushroom, which has long been treasured in the
Far East is now accepted worldwide for its effectiveness and safety of
use. It has been more intensively researched around the world than any
other mushroom species.
Coriolus versicolor has
energizing, antioxidant, adaptogenic, radioprotective, chemoprotective,
and other properties that make it a "superfood" for human wellbeing.
The most intensive research on Coriolus versicolor in Japan, China, the USA, and other countries has been to explore and document its immunoceutical properties. (Research studies located at Clinical Guides section of website.) Green Medica’s Coriolus Versicolor is arguably the most potent formulation of Coriolus immunoceuticals available anywhere.
Immunoceuticals
are natural substances which enhance the body’s natural immunity. Many
individual nutrients with immunoceutical properties have been
discovered from Coriolus versicolor. The most diverse
collection of Coriolus immunoceuticals is found in the growing mass of
the mushroom – the mycelium. Green Medica’s Coriolus Versicolor dietary supplement provides the organically grown, whole mycelial mass in a potent form. Coriolus Versicolor is potent, safe andfree of bad side effects! In Japan around 1965 a chemical engineer began investigating Coriolus versicolor for its immune-enhancing properties after observing its surprisingly beneficial effects on his neighbor. More than 4 decades later, Japanese researchers continue to research
this traditionally venerated mushroom. Another school of intense
Coriolus research is located in China. Researchers in other countries also have made important contributions to understanding Coriolus.
Green Medica’s Coriolus Versicolor formula is safe and very well tolerated, and its immunoceutical complex
offers potential benefits for anyone wanting sharper immune system
function. It is also a vegan product in pure vegetable capsules. What Is The Immune System?
The immune system is the primary defense against anything going wrong
anywhere in the body. The immune system is comprised of a diverse array
of cells that either (a) circulate with the blood, (b) live as single
cells dispersed through the tissues, or (c) are located in large
populations within organs such as the thymus, spleen, and bone marrow.
These diverse cell populations communicate to detect, attack, and
dispose of any threats to the body’s integrity. Functionally, this is
termed The Immune Response.
When functioning optimally, the
immune system disposes of dead and dying cells, detects and destroys
abnormal cells before they can cause trouble-and confronts and kills
microorganisms that do not normally live in the body. The immune system
keeps the body healthy when it is under stress, has had a traumatic
injury, or is exposed to aggressive agents in the environment.
The
immune response is most often triggered when immune cells located in
the tissues (dendritic cells) detect a foreign body. The dendritic
cells sample this foreign material, then make contact with other immune
cell types and alert them to this problem. The various immune cell
types then coordinate via chemical messengers and mount an immune
response, aimed at neutralizing and disposing of this perceived threat.
Functionally complex and intricately coordinated, the immune
system defends the body against all comers. However, the system does
have an Achilles Heel: high vulnerability to the chemical, emotional
and other stresses that plague daily life. This means many of us have
less than optimal immune function. Seven Reasons To Take Coriolus Versicolor Dr.
Parris Kidd, Chief Scientific Officer of Green Medica, is an
internationally recognized expert on the Coriolus versicolor mushroom
and its immunoceuticals. Here are Dr. Kidd’s top 7 reasons to take
Green Medica’s potent Coriolus product: - You smoke.
- Your energy level is low.
- You have been exposed to radiation.
- You catch cold more than once a year.
- You are recuperating from a recent injury.
- You have been exposed to toxic drugs or other chemicals.
- Your immunity is impaired, as confirmed by laboratory tests.
If
you are enduring a highly stressful life event, feel you are in a
health-challenging environment, or simply are getting older, Coriolus Versicolor is an excellent means of boosting the immune system’s efficiency, and without a downside. Why Does Coriolus Work So Well? Over the past 40 years, Coriolus versicolor
has been investigated in double blind clinical trials, in other types
of human clinical trials, in animal “models” of immune system breakdown
as well as radiation and chemical toxicity, in cell cultures, and
biochemically in test tubes. Its mechanisms of action have been investigated on those types of
immune cell types known to be involved in coordinating human immunity.
Formulated as a freeze-dried mushroom mycelial mass, Green Medica’s Coriolus Versicolor
dietary supplement packs a punch for immunity. The available research
suggests the tissue dendritic cells should become more active, the
circulating immune cells should proliferate and the solid organs make
new replacement cells. These and other immunoceutical activation
mechanisms sharpen the immune system’s vigilance against abnormal cells
or invading foreign bodies.
Immune system enhancement by Coriolus Versicolor is linked to the wide array of biologically active glycan substances present in the freeze-dried mycelial mass. What Are the Coriolus' Active Ingredients? Green Medica’s Coriolus Versicolor
has many known active ingredients. Those considered most relevant to
boosting immunity are the glycan class, which consists of beta-glucans,
other glucans, proteoglycans, PolySaccharide K (PSK), and
Polysaccharide-Peptide (PSP). These are large molecules that taken on a
variety of intricate 3-dimensional shapes.[link to 3 diagrams]. This
array of glycans makes for a great variety of molecular shapes and
sizes. When these are sampled by the immune system, the net outcome is
a boosting of immune vigilance and a move toward better readiness
against the body’s enemies.
As the glycans are taken orally,
and are absorbed into our tissues, they are sampled by tissue dendritic
cells. These are the immune system’s sentries, posted for early warning
of trouble. After they process the glycans, they pass samples on to
killer cells, neutrophils, and other immune cells nearby. These in turn
become partially activated and more vigilant.
Dr. Kidd believes that this ongoing stimulation by the wide array of glycans in Coriolus Versicolor
keeps the immune system in a “yellow-alert” mode, ready to respond to
any threat rapidly and with a more intense and complete response. Yet
Coriolus Versicolor does not stimulate false or autoimmune responses. Why is Green Medica’s Coriolus Versicolor Better? Of all the commercially available mushrooms that are claimed to support and boost the immune system, Coriolus versicolor
is the most thoroughly researched and has the best documented track
record of benefit. For a representative listing of the research on this
