pharmacological properties were first recorded
in ¡°Fungi Spectrun¡±in Japan as ¡°sweet taste mild
matuer with no toxin¡±,can nearly 200 papers have

cited by CA,and indicated that the mushroom can
inhibit cancer,promote immunity,treat hypertension,reduce
blood sugar and lipid levels,and inhibit all types
of hepatitis viruses.In Japan,many research results
have applied for patents.
The hymenium of Grifola frondosa is featured with crisp
meat,delicious taste,unique fragrance,reasonable
mutrition composition,rich in essential amino
acids,vitamin and mineral contents.Test results
reveal that 100g of the dry product of Qingyuan
Grifola frondosa contains 22.75g protein,23.58g
amino acids(two folds higher than the amino acid
content in Lentimus edodes Sing),vitamins C,B1,and
B2and organic selenium.According to experts, Grifola
frondosa has 6 major medication and healthcare
functions:1.Inhibit cancer with 86.3% inhibiting
rate after oral intake;2.Slow down aging and promote

EFFECTS
OF POLYSACCHARIDE
The main active ingredient of Grifola frondosa is preteoglycanj,mainly
in the form of dextran with basic structure of
¦Â-(1¡ú6)
and¦Â-(1¡ú3) dextran,and small amount of xylose and
mannose.
Reasearches revealed Grifola frondosa polysaccharide
plays its anti-tumor role via enhancing cellular
immunity.On the genetic level,it has powerful
inhibition of mutation caused by chemicals It
can be used in the comprehensive treatment of
lassitude,leukocytopenia ,and reduced immunity
due to chronic hepatitis and radio-chemotherapy
for malignant tumors.It also has certain preventive
