A member asked:
What happens if reishi has hormones similar to steroids, then how does it reduce cancer tumors helping cancer from growing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not sure it works: Reishi Mushroom Powder is abundant in enzymes, polysaccharides, and proteins, including beta-D-glucans, which give the immune system a boost to help ward off foreign invaders. The chemical components in Reishi enhance the production of T-cells, helper T-cells, and natural killer cells, which provide defense for the body. Whether this can help is suppressing tumor growth is speculative.
