Protein Bound Polysaccharide with Active Beta Glucans

Traditionally mushrooms would be collected and made into a simple hot water decoction or tea prepared according to the traditional Chinese pharmacopeia and used to “dispel dampness and reduce phlegm” (meaning to deal with liquids and oils that are not adequately metabolised thus becoming toxic), to treat respiratory tract infection and support liver health. Many health practitioners over the years have used the mushroom to treat a variety of conditions.

Based on the reputation of the mushrooms wide-ranging health benefits, scientists worldwide began to conduct controlled basic and clinical research on hot water extracts from Trametes versicolor.

The scientists found that the main therapeutic ingredients in the extracts of Trametes versicolor mushroom are complex polysaccharides with bound core proteins that seemed to be intricately linked to immune system enhancement. The most important of these polysaccharides are Beta glucans. The 1,3 & 1,6 Beta glucan bond structures have shown high potential for health benefits.

As it can be difficult to extract in significant concentration from the fruiting stage of the mushroom researches looked for a more effective way of gaining a more potent extract. Fortunately with advances in modern biotechnology a high concentration of the active ingredient was able to be obtained from the pure mycelium (the vegetative stage) cultured in large submerged liquid fermenters under strictly controlled conditions. This new approach using biotechnology means that, unlike other processes in herbal medicine – The extract is produced as the active ingredient from Trametes versicolor. The freeze dried mycelial culture mass is then produced in large repeatable amounts that have consistent potency.

Why should I take PSK Trammune 30 minutes before food?

The reason it is recommended to be taken at least 30 minutes before food is because when it is taken with food more of the nutrient is lost in the body’s normal digestive functions (through urine & bowel movements). To gain the most benefit take Trametes versicolor extract on an empty stomach to ensure there is time for the nutrient to coat the stomach wall allowing for maximum absorption and minimal loss.
