Health Benefits

Poria cocos extract not only has the effects of anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory and soothing the skin, but also has adaptogenic properties, which means that it can help the human body adapt to stress and maintain balance. In addition, as the main active ingredients of Poria cocos extract, Poria cocos polysaccharides enhance the secretion of immune stimulators and inhibit the secretion of immune suppressors, thus potentiating the immune response [1]. Poria cocos polysaccharides have also shown anti-tumor activity against different cancer cell lines.
