Nature’s Gifts Tremella Polysaccharides
The so-called “born fog, fog born dew, dew born ear”, snow ear is a gift of nature. Snow ear grows in water, and brings water to all things in the world. In the continuous “spit” and “accept” cycle, the “snow beauty” with the spirit of mountain spring is not stingy to feed back the original natural and moist beauty to human beings.
Nature’s Gifts Tremella Polysaccharides
Tremella, also known as snow ear and white fungus, was eaten by our ancestors as early as 3000 years ago. Tao Hongjing, a famous doctor in the Liang Dynasty, said in the distinguished doctor’s record that “old mulberry grows mulberry ear, and there are white ones, soft and wet ones. People use them as Potamogeton crispus.”. In the Tang Dynasty, the northern people called the tremella “mulberry goose”, which was commonly eaten by the noble families and called it “yudingzhi”, believing that it was as precious as the white Ganoderma lucidum.
Tremella fuciformis polysaccharide is the essence of Tremella fuciformis. It belongs to macromolecular polysaccharides. It has a unique spatial network structure. The polysaccharide structure is mannose as the backbone (main chain), and its side chains contain xylose, fucose, glucuronic acid and glucose. The molecular weight can be up to 3 million Dalton. It is a kind of cosmetic raw material with multiple functions, which can be taken internally or externally.
Nourishing and replenishing, moisturizing and firming
The content of hyaluronic acid in human embryo is the highest. With the increase of age, the ability of human body to synthesize hyaluronic acid gradually decreases due to the influence of food, environment and other factors. With the decrease of the proportion of hyaluronic acid contained in the skin, the water content of the surface layer of the skin will gradually decrease, resulting in the aging of the cuticle, the skin will become rough, and begin to wrinkle, lose elasticity and appear aging. This is also one of the main reasons for the skin differences between the elderly and children, which shows the importance of hyaluronic acid in the skin to keep young.
Tremella has been the holy product of nourishing yin and beauty in the Imperial Palace since ancient times. It has an unshakable historical position and recognition in the beauty industry. Like a tree with deep roots and lush leaves, it relies on its roots to absorb water. In the same way, the lasting moisture of the surface skin depends on the absorption of water from the bottom of the skin, which is transported from the base layer to the shallow surface layer. Only when the skin is moisturized by internal nourishment, can each layer of the skin be hydrated and rejuvenated. Scientific research shows that tremella polysaccharide can supplement endogenous hyaluronic acid and help skin lock in more water.
In addition to the above-mentioned in vitro study, a human body test study conducted by the Pharmaceutical Research Institute of Chiba University in Japan also showed that tremella polysaccharide can effectively improve the skin moisture content and elasticity.
natural’s growing tremella
Awaken cell vitality and effectively resist oxidation
Scientist Denham Harman put forward the theory of free radicals of aging in 1956. He believed that the process of aging is caused by the harmful effects of free radicals produced in the normal metabolism of cells. Free radicals can oxidize many substances in cells, and excessive oxidation will accelerate aging and disease; cause inflammation and autoimmune reaction, which will damage the health of the body; produce pigment precipitation and color spots.
The results showed that Tremella fuciformis polysaccharide could improve the SOD activity of keratinocytes and fibroblasts, reduce the content of lipid peroxidation MDA, and reduce the level of ROS in cells, which had a certain antioxidant effect.
Other functions
The unique macromolecular structure of tremella polysaccharide can form a protective membrane on the surface of gastric mucosa, protect ulcer tissue and accelerate ulcer healing. A study shows that tremella polysaccharide can effectively repair gastric ulcer caused by glacial acetic acid, and the effect is better than the blank group. At the same time, a human test shows that tremella polysaccharide has a significant improvement effect on patients with mild gastric ulcer.
The study also showed that tremella polysaccharide, as a prebiotic, can change the diversity of intestinal microorganisms, inhibit the growth of intestinal harmful microorganisms, promote the proliferation of some beneficial bacteria, maintain the balance of intestinal flora, and maintain the health of intestinal tract by adjusting the abundance ratio of key flora.
In addition, a large number of studies have reported that Tremella fuciformis polysaccharide has many active effects, such as reducing weight [1], enhancing immunity [2], anti-tumor [3], anti radiation [4]. It can be seen that it is of positive significance to develop functional foods of tremella polysaccharide.
