1, enhance immune function. Hericium erinaceus polysaccharides can increase the phagocytosis of macrophages; promote the production of hemolysin, increase the ability of humoral immunity, and promote the proliferation of splenic lymphocytes.
2, anti-cancer anti-cancer. Hericium erinaceus can inhibit the hepatocarcinogenesis induced by aflatoxin in rats; polysaccharides have obvious activation effect on the activity of natural killer (nk) cells. In addition, Hericium can inhibit the synthesis of DNA in cancer cells and prevent the incorporation of thymidine, deoxyribonucleoside and uracil nucleotides.
3, delay aging. Polysaccharides can significantly increase fly fly ability and increase the activity of superoxide dismutase (sod) in mouse brain and liver. This suggests that the active ingredients of Hericium erinaceus have a positive effect on human aging.
4, anti-ulcer, hypoglycemic. Hericium erinaceus possesses anti-ulcer function, inhibits pepsin activity, enhances the function of gastric mucosal barrier, and promotes ulcer healing; its polysaccharide can reduce the blood sugar level of mice with normal blood glucose and alloxan-induced diabetes.
These are the nutritional values ​​of Hericium erinaceus. In general, it can involve all parts of our body. Eating more often can effectively protect human health.
