The triterpenoid extract in Ganoderma lucidum can be used as an adjuvant medicine after tumor radiotherapy and chemotherapy. It can improve the efficacy of tumor chemotherapy and radiation therapy by enhancing the body's immune function, can reduce the side effects such as leukopenia and loss of appetite caused by chemotherapy or radiation therapy, improve the cachexia of tumor patients, promote the bone marrow hematopoietic function, make the body stronger, improve the immunity of tumor patients. It improves the immune function of tumor patients and enhances the anti-tumor immunity of the body.

By improving the immunity of the body, immune cells can kill and engulf tumors at an early stage. Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide improves the formation of platelet fibrin: a large amount of fibrin can tightly wrap the early tumor block and isolate it from the outside world, eliminating tumor nutrition, thus making it dormant for a long time. Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide reduces the surface charge of tumor cells: it is several times higher than normal cells, and as the surface charge decreases, it can activate the division of tumor cells, thus inhibiting the tumor from dividing infinitely and rapidly.

Beta-glucan, as a functional polysaccharide, can effectively adjust the microecology of the digestive tract and promote the proliferation of beneficial bacteria and the excretion of harmful substances in the intestinal tract.

Beta-glucan can protect the function of intestinal wall by blocking the activation of mast cells. These results may contribute to the understanding of the role of functional components on digestive health related to intestinal barrier function.

Beta-glucan has a significant inhibitory and preventive effect on diabetes. Glucan (specific structure) also protects and repairs pancreatic islet beta cells (also known as islet B cells, which make up about 70% of all islet cells and secrete insulin, acting as a regulator of blood glucose levels). In addition, it can regulate insulin secretion by stimulating the relevant mycotic substances in the spleen to achieve a balanced blood sugar effect, as well as inhibit glucose metabolism by increasing the gastric mucosal barrier effect through its high viscosity and gelling properties.

Beta-glucan can enhance the resistance of animals to pathogens and promote their growth, thus improving the productivity and feed utilization of animals.
