Yunzhi is an effective complementary treatment option for people with serious illness at various stages.

The main effects of Yunzhi (Coriolus Versicolor) published in research reports include:

  1. Activation of immune cells such as: T-lymphocytes, B-lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages, bone marrow cells, natural killer cells and lymphokine-activated cells 1,2,5.
  2. Increase of antibodies and a variety of cytokines such as: interleukin-2, interleukin-6, interferon and TNF 2,9.
  3. Restore immunological response depression derived from serious illness treatment back to normal level 2,5.
  4. Enhance the body’s immunity 3,4 to reduce chance of infection 2,9.
  5. Reduce the side effects of the treatment of serious illnesses, improve patient’s mental and health status 12.
  6. Inhibit mutated cells proliferation 3,13.
  7. Increase the survival rate of patients 3,7,10,11.
