What are the effects of Dendrobium polysaccharides on human health?
1, regulate immune function
The immune regulation effect of the human body is achieved by the joint effect of a variety of active polysaccharides, which is the basis for polysaccharides to exert their physiological and pharmacological effects. Modern pharmacological research analysis shows that the viscous substances in Dendrobium stems are mainly water-soluble polysaccharides, and the content accounts for its dry weight. It is a kind of immune enhancer, which has a significant effect on improving peripheral leukocytes and promoting lymphocytes to produce mobile factors. Under the experimental conditions, it can also eliminate the side effects of the immunosuppressant cyclophosphamide. Clinical trials have also proved that Dendrobium polysaccharide has a very significant effect on regulating immunity.
2, lowering blood sugar
Diabetes is a metabolic disease caused by insufficient excretion of the pancreas. Long-term use of hypoglycemic western medicine or direct injection of insulin has significant side effects. Studies have shown that Dendrobium officinale can significantly reduce the body's blood sugar level and promote insulin excretion. And inhibit glucagon excretion. Dendrobium polysaccharide is different from oral hypoglycemic drug sulfonylureas, it has no effect on normal blood sugar, does not increase serum insulin level, and has a corrective effect on pancreatic islet cells; at the same time, Dendrobium polysaccharide also has pancreatic The effect of external blood sugar lowering is to suppress the decomposition of liver glycogen caused by adrenaline and promote the synthesis of liver glycogen, thereby reducing the source of blood sugar, increasing the way of blood sugar, and achieving the purpose of lowering the blood sugar level.
Therefore, diabetics cannot eat sugar, but can eat Dendrobium polysaccharide.
