Potent Mushroom Compounds

The medicinal mushroom Antrodia cinnamomea produced unique sulfated polysaccharides that showed strong anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects. One fraction cut harmful TNF-α signals by nearly 50%, while another suppressed lung cancer cell growth by 57%. These sulfated glucans worked through key immune and cancer-related pathways, pointing to real therapeutic promise for this traditional Taiwanese fungus.
