1. Adaptogenic
Adaptogens are active ingredients in certain plants and mushrooms that may impact how our body deals with stress, anxiety and fatigue
2. Adenosine
Adenosine is a naturally occurring substance that relaxes and dilates blood vessels. It also affects the electrical activity of the heart. Adenosine is used to help restore normal heartbeats in people with certain heart rhythm disorders.
3. Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
Adenosine triphosphate is an organic compound and hydrotrope that provides energy to drive many processes in living cells, such as muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation, condensate dissolution, and chemical synthesis.
4. Adjunctive therapy
Another treatment used together with the primary treatment. Its purpose is to assist the primary treatment.
5. Anti-carcinogenic
An anti-carcinogen is a substance that counteracts the effects of carcinogen- a substance, organism or agent capable of causing or inhibits the development of cancer.
6. Anti-oxidative
A substance that protects cells from the damage caused by free radicals (unstable molecules made by the process of oxidation during normal metabolism). Free radicals may play a part in cancer, heart disease, stroke, and other diseases of aging.
7. Circadian Rhythms
The natural cycle of physical, mental, and behaviour changes that the body goes through in a 24-hour cycle such as the sleep-wake cycle, the body-temperature cycle, and the cycles in which a number of hormones are secreted.
8. Cordycepin
A biotherapeutic molecule from medicinal mushroom
9. Cordyceps Militaris.
Cordyceps militaris is a species of fungus in the family Cordycipitaceae, and the type species of the genus Cordyceps.
10. Cordyceps Sinensis
Sinensis is an annual Ascomycetes fungus closely related to the mushroom. Although not actually a mushroom taxonomically, it has been described as an exotic medicinal mushroom in traditional Chinese and Tibetan medicine. The name Cordyceps comes from Latin words meaning club and head.
11. Cytokines
Cytokines are small proteins that are crucial in controlling the growth and activity of other immune system cells and blood cells. When released, they signal the immune system to do its job.
12. Fibrinogen
Fibrinogen is a protein that helps with blood clotting. It is made in the liver and forms fibrin. Fibrin is the main protein in a blood clot that helps stop bleeding and heal wounds.
13. Gut biome
The Gut microbiome is made up of trillions of microorganisms and their genetic material that live in our intestinal tract. These microorganisms, mainly comprising bacteria, are involved in functions critical to our health and wellbeing.
14. Immunomodulatory
A substance that stimulates or suppresses the immune system and may help the body fight cancer, infection, or other diseases.
15. Lipoproteins
Lipoprotein is a biochemical assembly, whose primary function is to transport hydrophobic lipid molecules in water, as in blood plasma or other extracellular fluids.
16. Nutraceutical
Any substance that is a food or part of a food and provides medical or health benefits, including the prevention and treatment of disease.
17. Oxidative stress
Oxidative stress is a state that occurs when there is an excess of free radicals in the body’s cells and defined as a disturbance in the balance between the production of reactive oxygen species (free radicals) and antioxidant defences.
18. Probiotics
Probiotics are live microorganisms that are intended to have health benefits when consumed or applied to the body
19. PSK (polysaccharide krestin) & PSP (polysaccharide peptide)
Protein bound Polysaccharide is extracted from edible mushroom Trametes Versicolor and work as a biological response modifier (BRM)- enhancing body’s own use of Macrophages (specialised cells involved in the detection and destruction of bacteria and other harmful organisms) and T-lymphocytes (part of the immune system, developed from stem cells in the bone marrow, that protect the body from infection and help to fight cancer), rather than directly attacking any Tumors. PSK was first isolated in Japan in the late 1960s while PSP was isolated about 1983 in China. Each compound has shown remarkable anticancer properties.
20. Therapeutic
Therapeutic is relating to the treatment of disease or disorders by remedial agents or methods relating to curing of a disease or medical condition.
