The function of Dendrobium polysaccharide is introduced as follows
Studies have found that many active polysaccharides can scavenge free radicals, improve antioxidant enzyme activity and inhibit lipid peroxidation, which can protect biofilms and delay aging. Dendrobium contains highly active superoxide dismutase (SOD) , Peroxidase (POD), Catalase (CAT), have strong antioxidant capacity, and Dendrobium polysaccharide has good antioxidant activity under alkaline conditions. Tests show that Dendrobium can significantly improve superoxidation The serum levels of hydroxyproline (HYP) and compound dismutase (SOD) were significantly reduced, and lipid peroxides (LOP) and monoamine oxides (MAO) were significantly reduced, thereby exerting an anti-aging effect.
In addition to being rich in polysaccharides, Dendrobium polysaccharides are also rich in a variety of alkaloids, amino acids and starches. Although the pharmacological effects of these components are related to each other, there are certain differences, such as: the primary effect of alkaloids is "anti-tumor, heart vascular diseases, inhibiting gastrointestinal diseases, relieving pain and reducing fever, etc.; phenolic compounds are mainly manifested in anti-aging and other aspects; while the polysaccharides in dendrobium, their pharmacological effects are mainly manifested in "improving immunity, lowering blood sugar and anti-aging" Dendrobium has a wide range of effects. Therefore, Shennong's Materia Medica lists Dendrobium as a holy medicine with the effect of "lightening the body and prolonging life". It is easily absorbed by the human body, nourishes the whole body, makes the organs of the body work freely, and the skin is moisturizing. The blood is smooth, and after a period of time, people can get rid of the troubles of diseases and regenerate the glory of youth.
