Polyporus umbellatus extract is derived from Polyporus umbellatus, a rare, edible mushroom traditionally found growing on the decaying roots of beech and oak trees. Commonly referred to as Lumpy Bracket or Umbrella Polypore, this mushroom has a long-standing history in traditional herbal medicine. Alfa Chemistry offers a high-quality extract standardized to contain 10%–50% polysaccharides, providing a consistent and potent source of naturally active compounds.

• Promotes Fluid Metabolism & Detoxification: Traditionally used to support diuretic functions, the extract may help alleviate water retention, edema, damp-heat syndromes, jaundice, and related skin conditions such as athlete's foot.
• Supports Endocrine and Secretory Function: Polyporus umbellatus polysaccharides have been shown to elevate cortisol levels in animal models, suggesting regulatory benefits for the secretory system.
• Immune System Modulation: The extract enhances innate immunity by improving the phagocytic activity of peritoneal macrophages and offers protection against chemically induced immunosuppression.
• Anti-Radiation Properties: By modulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, this extract may enhance the body's stress response and bolster resistance to radiation-induced damage.
• Skin-Soothing Potential: Due to its anti-inflammatory activity, it may help calm and protect sensitive or irritated skin when used in topical formulations.

Whether you're developing cutting-edge functional foods, formulating clean-label skincare, or innovating in the field of modern nutraceuticals, Alfa Chemistry's Polyporus umbellatus extract delivers the natural efficacy, quality assurance, and formulation flexibility you need to bring your product vision to life.
