According to research literature, one of the polysaccharides currently regarded as an important indicator internationally is "glucan". Glucan also has anti-cancer activity, which inhibits the formation and growth of tumor cells and prevents tumor metastasis by protecting cells from genotoxic carcinogens.
Therefore, in Japan, glucan has been used as an adjuvant for cancer chemotherapy and radiotherapy. This natural, non-toxic and beneficial active polysaccharide (glucan) is most abundant in mushrooms in nature. The very significant immune regulation effect of Antrodia cinnamomea is largely related to its rich content of glucan.
