Essence of Yunzhi PSP

Yunzhi is commonly used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). PSP stands for Polysaccharide Peptide, a protein-bound polysaccharide extracted from deep-layer-cultivated mycelia of the COV-1® strain of Yunzhi, also commonly known as Coriolus Versicolor or Turkey Tail.  Unlike the polysaccharide extracted from the fruit body (ie. the Yunzhi’s outer body), Essence of Yunzhi PSP are extracted from the mycelia and are more easily absorbed into the body. Our Yunzhi PSP is an Australian TGA listed product. It is produced under the Good Manufacturing Practices and is proven to have no notable side effects. Our product is regularly tested in independent laboratory to ensure the highest quality.

Immune health

Our immune system is responsible for protecting our body from most of the diseases. It sends out white blood cells to attack the bacteria and viruses that managed to get inside our body, and at the same time tackling the abnormal cells that grow inside our organs. Due to different reasons like stress, unhealthy diet or chemotherapy, our immune system may not be fully functional, which provide opportunities for the bacteria or abnormal cells to growth and attack us.

Yunzhi has been used by many Asian countries for health promotion since the last century. Its strong health benefits, particularly in the promotion and maintenance of effective immune system, have been demonstrated in different scientific and clinical studies.
