Coriolus versicolor is sweet, flat and light in taste, slightly cold in nature, and used to act on liver, spleen and lung meridians. Its traditional effects include invigorating the spleen to eliminate dampness, relieving coughs and panting gasps, and stimulating the immune system. At present, in addition to boosting immunity, the polysaccharide-K contained can also be used for antineoplastic therapy to inhibit the proliferation of undesirable cells. Coriolus versicolor can assist in the treatment of intractable diseases, reduce side effects such as hair loss, vomiting, loss of appetite and oral ulceration caused by chemotherapy and electrotherapy, ease discomfort caused by chemotherapy, and increase the survival rate of patients.

Coriolus versicolor is suitable for sub-healthy people, patients with chronic bronchitis, children with spastic bronchitis, people with sore throats, people with multiple tumors, rheumatoid arthritis patients, and leukemia patients. It can also be taken in moderation in daily life to enhance the body’s immunity and reduce the chance of illness.

The biggest difference between Coriolus versicolor and Ganoderma lingzhi is that the former has no stipe and its appearance, being black and white with lines and a fiber structure, has high ornamental value. While the main function of Ganoderma lingzhi is to boost immunity and soothe the nerves, Coriolus versicolor not only has the effects of Ganoderma lingzhi but can also inhibit tumor growth and protect the liver. In particular, Coriolus versicolor plays an important role in inhibiting tumors and assisting in the prevention and treatment of cancers.

Coriolus versicolor contains polysaccharide-K (PSK), polysaccharopeptide (PSP), steroids, alkaloids, lactones, organic acids and proteins (17 types of amino acids). It is one of the fungi with the most medicinal value, having the effects of clearing away heat, removing toxins, reducing inflammation, fighting cancers and protecting the liver. The main active component of Coriolus versicolor is PSK which is capable of regulating immunity. As a good immunity booster, PSK has functions such as enhancing the functions and recognition ability of immune cells and increasing the amount of IgM. Meanwhile, PSK also has the function of protecting the liver. It can significantly reduce serum transaminases, exerting a noticeable repairing effect on liver tissue lesions and hepatic necroses.

Generally, cancer patients can keep taking Coriolus versicolor two weeks after completing all courses of treatment. Since every Lacla Coriolus Versicolor Essence capsule contains over 60% polysaccharides, whose concentration and quality are far greater than those in similar products of other brands, a patient will only need to take four capsules every day for the first year after treatment, and two capsules every day thereafter for maintaining good health.
