Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract exerts its effects primarily through its key bioactive constituents, including specific lanostane-type triterpenoids (e.g., ganoderic acid A) and β-1,3-glucan polysaccharides. These components are established scavengers of reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby mitigating oxidative stress. They also actively suppress inflammatory pathways and demonstrate an inhibitory effect on fibrogenic signaling. Specific triterpenes like ganoderiol F and ganoderic acid X exhibit antiproliferative properties. Broader observations across the Ganoderma genus, attributable to similar active components, encompass antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, antimicrobial, and skin brightening actions.
