Several centuries have passed and the mushroom, even up to this day, has become a staple ingredient not just in food but also for treatment due to its renowned medicinal benefits, especially in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
One such type of mushroom is the yunzhi (Coriolus versicolor), commonly known as “turkey tail” or “cloud mushroom,” which contains compounds such as polysaccharide krestin (PSK) and polysaccharopeptide (PSP) believed to improve immune qualities.
It is also said to be rich in active compounds like sterols, triterpenes, and alkaloids, and is widely recommended in TCM for alleviating physical distress like tiredness or fatigue, lack of appetite, and even respiratory conditions like coughing and shortness of breath, and even preventing infections.
In a clinical study published by the International Journal of Medical Sciences, yunzhi mushroom was known to reduce fatigue and improve athletic performance, where the effects of the yunzhi mushroom are known to provide invigoration, increase vital body energy, even promoting and stimulating longevity.
Yunzhi is now available in many health supplements to improve bodily functions like improving blood flow, protection of the liver, digestive tract, overcome fatigue, and even promote anti-aging and other phenomenal invigorating and rejuvenating properties.
Neucell’s Essence of Mushroom, a single plant extract formulation of 250 mg of yunzhi mushroom and distributed by Dyna Drug Corp. in the Philippines, was able to harness these properties to become a natural food supplement to support man’s health, coupled with balanced diet and healthy exercise.
