Corio PSP™ is a dried extract of the Coriolus
versicolor mushroom, which has long been used in
Chinese Traditional Medicine for its anti-tumor and
immune-modulatory functions.
Physiological Effects of Coriolus
- Promotes the proliferation of T cells and pre-T
cells.
- Increases thymus weight.
- Increases the biological effects of radiation.
- Possesses direct cytotoxic effects to tumor cells and
inhibits tumor growth.
- Increases the production of IL-2, IgG, C3, and
interferon.
- Raises the activities of NK cells and macrophages.
- Maintains and raises white blood cell count.
- Lessens the side effects of chemotherapy and
radiotherapy.
- Reduces pain in terminal patients.
- Prevents liver injuries induced by CCl4
(carbon-tetrachloride-based drugs).
Main Ingredients
Corio PSP is composed of 38 percent
polysaccharides. These polysaccharides have a main
chain of an alpha and beta (1-4) glucan, and tightly
bound 15-38% polypeptides. The polysaccharides are
composed of six types of monosaccharides: galactose,
glucose, mannose, xylose, arabinose, and rhamnose.
The peptide portion consists mainly
of aspartic acid and glutamic acid.
Toxicity
Tests for abnormalities in chromosomes, nucleotides,
and reproduction were all negative. The use of 50
times human clinical dosage on monkeys consecutively for
6 months produced no toxic effects.
Dosage
Recommended use: 1-3 grams a day (3-10 capsules)
per day for maintenance; 3-6 grams per day (10-20
capsules) for optimal therapeutic effects.
