Polysaccharides-K (PSK) - Action and Properties in Context Coriolus versicolor<\/em> (Variegated Wroxhamus)<\/h1>\n

Polysaccharides-K (PSK), also known as Krestin, is one of the most important bioactive components of the fungus Coriolus<\/a> versicolor<\/em> (varicolored hornwort, also known as turkey tail). PSKs have gained a wide reputation in natural medicine and oncology, mainly for their immune system-boosting properties and anti-cancer effects. In Japan, PSKs are one of the most widely used drugs to support cancer therapy. In this article, we will take a closer look at what Polysaccharides-K are, how they work in the context of health, and why they Coriolus versicolor<\/a><\/em> has gained so much popularity due to its PSK content.<\/p>\n

What Are Polysaccharides-K (PSK)?<\/h2>\n

PSKs are a type of polysaccharides, or long chains of sugars that are bound to proteins, which gives them unique biological properties. They were first isolated from the fungus Coriolus versicolor<\/em>, which has been used in traditional Asian medicine for centuries. Due to its immunomodulatory properties, PSKs are being explored as potential cancer-fighting agents and as natural supplements to strengthen the body against infections.<\/p>\n

PSK in Coriolus versicolor<\/em> - Chemical Composition<\/h2>\n

Polysaccharides-K are complex polysaccharides linked to proteins (glycoproteins) that exhibit strong immunomodulatory properties. Their unique structure allows them to modulate the body's immune response, making them extremely effective in the treatment and prevention of diseases that are associated with a weakened immune system.<\/p>\n

The most important features of PSK are:<\/p>\n
