Tremella polysaccharide: The molecular mechanisms of its drug action
Progress in molecular biology and translational science (2019) · Review
In this chapter, 113 independent studies involving in biochemical, pharmacological, and clinical studies of TFPS during the past 46 years (1972-2018) on the base of PubMed, CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) and Wanfang database search are summarized.
Based on limited meta-analysis (n=12) showing improved skin hydration. Oral bioavailability is questionable and most dermatological studies used topical/injectable forms. Low molecular weight forms may have better absorption.
Based on 2 RCTs showing improvements in memory and response times. One study used snow fungus in combination with other ingredients, limiting specificity to Tremella alone. Adverse event rates were similar across groups (35-41%).
AI-estimated from published studies. Interpret as directional guidance.
