Fungal extracts have a positive effect on blood sugar

With the change of lifestyle and the acceleration of aging process, the prevalence of diabetes in China is increasing rapidly, becoming another important chronic non-communicable disease that is harmful to human health after cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and cancer. Statistics in 2007 showed that the incidence of diabetes in China was 9.7%. According to statistics in 2013, the prevalence of diabetes in China was 11.6%, about 113.9 million.

The latest research shows that: abalone mushroom and lyophilized powder of mushrooms can effectively reduce the blood sugar level of normal people, and can also affect the insulin level of diabetic patients to some extent. This should be good news for people with diabetes.

According to Colombo University, glucokinase is an important sensor for regulating blood sugar levels in the body, while abalone and lyophilized powders affect the activity of glucokinase in the body.

Studies have shown that after 2 weeks of healthy volunteers taking abalone mushrooms and lyophilized powder, the fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels were significantly reduced. This means that long-term use of these two fungi is very beneficial for the body to control blood sugar. In addition, the study also showed that the two fungi did not cause any liver and kidney damage in healthy volunteers, so these two fungi can be used as functional foods for diabetic patients.
