It has the effects of diuresis, invigorating dampness, strengthening the spleen and calming the mind. Poria polysaccharide, as its main active ingredient, not only inherits the traditional medicinal effects of Poria cocos, but is also purified and refined through our scientific and technological means, becoming an efficient and safe health product.

What are the effects?

1. Anti-tumor effect: Poria polysaccharide has a good anti-tumor effect, can enhance the cytotoxic effect of macrophages and T lymphocytes, enhance the immune response of cells and activate the body's immune surveillance system against tumors.
2. Antiviral and anti-inflammatory effects: It can effectively resist follicular stomatitis virus and herpes simplex virus type 3, and has an inhibitory effect on the formation of subcutaneous granulomas in rats caused by cotton balls.
3. Anti-oxidant raw material: Poria polysaccharide can increase the activity of serum total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) and serum copper superoxide dismutase (Cu-SOD) in serum to varying degrees, reduce the content of MDA, and has anti-aging and life-extending effects.
4. Enhance the body's immunity: Poria polysaccharide has the effect of enhancing the body's immunity, can improve human immunity, and has anti-tumor, anti-viral, anti-oxidation, anti-aging, anti-radiation, hypoglycemic, liver protection, stone elimination and other effects.
5. Protect the liver and reduce enzymes, delay aging: Poria polysaccharide also has the effects of protecting the liver and reducing enzymes, delaying aging, calming the nerves and strengthening the stomach, and beautifying the face.

What are the applications?
