Mar 27, 2023

Betula platyphylla extract is a powder produced from white birch antler after processing. Its raw material, white birch antler, also known as Inonotus obliquus, is a medicinal fungus that grows on white birch trees. The white birch antler has a strong host selectivity and is mainly grown under the bark of white birch, silver birch, elm, and red poplar, or under the skin of living standing trees or on the withered trees after cutting. The white birch antler is a nearly spherical or amorphous mass of sterile fruiting body. The diameter is 7-36cm, and the surface is hard, yellowish brown to black, with obvious uneven and cracked small pieces. The flesh of the fungus is yellowish brown, and the mycelium is a two-line mycelium system. Reproductive hyphae are pale yellow, septated, without locklike union, with a diameter of 4-6 μm. The skeleton hyphae are bristly, yellowish brown, with a diameter of 5-6 μ m. It is difficult to find sub entities. The flesh tissue consists of brown bristly hyphae and pale yellow reproductive hyphae, with thick walls, slight and indistinct bad lines, bright yellowish brown, and bristly bodies dark brown. In recent years, people have done a lot of research on the pharmacological effects and clinical applications of Betula platyphylla, mainly focusing on the study of mycelium biomass, polysaccharides, and phenolic substances in liquid submerged fermentation. In food processing, white birch antler has been made into biscuits, bread, sausages, condiments, beverages, food coloring, and so on. The processed extract of white birch antler also has high nutritional and economic value. The extract of white birch antler processed from white birch antler is also very popular in the market and loved by consumers.

Betula platyphylla

The efficacy and effects of extracts from Betula platyphylla are very extensive. Specifically, it can be summarized as follows:

1. Anti cancer effect: The extract of Betula platyphylla has a significant inhibitory effect on various tumor cells, which can prevent metastasis and recurrence of cancer cells, enhance immunity, and promote health.
2. Anti viral effect: The extract of Betula platyphylla, especially the hot dried mycelium, has a strong inhibitory activity against giant cell formation. 35mg/ml can prevent HIV infection, with low toxicity, and can effectively activate lymphocytes. The components in the hot water extract of Betula platyphylla can prevent the proliferation of HIV virus.
3. Antioxidant effect: The extract of Betula platyphylla has strong scavenging activity on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrohydrazinyl radicals, superoxide anion radicals, and peroxy radicals; Further research has confirmed that the extract from the fermentation broth of Betula platyphylla has strong free radical scavenging activity, mainly as a result of the action of polyphenols such as betula platyphylla, and its derivatives also have the effect of scavenging free radicals.
4. Prevention and treatment of diabetes: The polysaccharide in the extract of betula platyphylla can reduce blood sugar.
5. Enhance immune function: The decline of immune function is one of the most obvious characteristics of aging. In immune organs, the ability of the thymus and bone marrow to regulate cell function and secrete immunoglobulins decreases. These changes lead to a decrease in the immune function of middle-aged and elderly people to external antigens, and a decrease in the antigen monitoring function of mutations. Modern research has proven that the decline of immune function caused by aging can be delayed or partially recovered. Among many measures and drugs to prevent and treat the decline of immune function, traditional Chinese medicine for strengthening and tonifying the body has been proven to be effective.
Research has found that the aqueous extract of Betula platyphylla can cause a decrease in the activity of lactate dehydrogenase, hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, malic dehydrogenase, and glutamyltranspeptidase, as well as an increase in the activity of catalase. The activity of catalase is enhanced, which can clear free radicals in the body, protect cells, extend the division algebra of passage cells, improve cell life, and promote metabolism, thereby effectively delaying aging. Taking it for a long time can prolong life.
