What is Antrodia Extract

Antrodia extract is a mushroom that is considered extremely valuable in the folk medicine of Taiwan. It inhabits the temperate rain forests of the island and it is highly praised for its medical benefits. Antrodia is very rare and extremely hard to find in the wild, which explains its high value.

This is because the fruiting bodies can only develop on the surface of antrodia cinnamomea extract, a specific tree, unlike other mushrooms that live on multiple species. The antrodia extract powder has been used in Taiwan for a long time but modern medicine has only recently started to investigate its properties.

Antrodia Extract Benefits:

HEPATOPROTECTIVE - The use of antrodia extract by Taiwanese natives to counter the adverse effects of excessive alcohol consumption was first reported by a traditional Chinese medicine doctor,Wu-Sha in 1773. In animal experiments both the fruiting body and mycelium have been shown to protect against alcohol-induced hepatitis and liver steatosis(fatty liver), as well as CCl4 and cytokine induced liver damage, ameliorating increases in AST, ALT and ALP levels and histopathological changes in a dose-dependent manner with no observed lesions.

Antrodia extract powder fruiting bodies also inhibited alcohol-induced rises in cholesterol, hepatic lipids and liver enzymes in rats with moderate effect at a dose of 0.025g/kg and increased efficacy at a dose of 0.1g/kg10-12.

Separately it has been shown that antrodia cinnamomea extract possesses strong activity and it has been suggested that this is a major contributor to its hepatoprotective properties 13,14. Its activity is correlated with the presence of total polyphenols, crude triterpenoids and the protein/polysaccharide ratio of the polysaccharide extract15. A. camphorata polysaccharides also show hepatoprotective and anti-hepatitis B activity16,17, while a number of maleic/succinic acid derivatives showed potent inhibitory activity against hepatitis C protease through competitive inhibition.

In addition antrodia extract has been shown to suppress the invasive potential of liver cancer cells through inhibition of NF-kappaB19 and to induce apoptosis in human hepatoma cells.

CANCER - As well as its effects on liver cancer, multiple in vitro and in vivo studies show inhibition of cancer cell growth and migration, together with increase in apoptosis, in various cancer cell lines including breast, prostate, liver, bladder, cervical and oral carcinoma1,24-29.

ASTHMA - The immune modulating and actions of antrodia extract offer potential in asthma treatment with animal experiments showing that A. camphorata polysaccharides dose-dependently inhibited the development of airway hyperresponsiveness, airway eosinophilia and Th2 immune status.

SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS (SLE) -Amycelial extract of antrodia cinnamomea extract reduced urine protein and creatinine levels and suppressed changes in the kidney glomerular basement membrane (a histological hallmark of SLE) at a dose of 400mg/kg in a mouse model of SLE, suggesting ability to protect the kidney from autoimmune disease.

CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE - Antrodia cinnamomea extract has traditionally been used to treat a variety of heart conditions, including hypertension and atherosclerosis, and A. camphorata extracts have been reported to inhibit thickening of blood vessel walls and to promote vasodilation33,34.
