What
is GCP?
GeniKinoko™ contains GCP, a novel functional health food produced by the
fermentation of soybean isoflavone extracts with basidiomycetes mushrooms. GCP
is an acronym for Genistein Combined Polysaccharide and is derived from organic,
GMO-free soybeans developed in Japan. GCP offers a rich content of isoflavone
aglycones, especially genistein, as well as rich content of polysaccharides
from basidiomycetes.
Why
fermented soybeans?
Fresh soybeans and other legumes contain isoflavones in a natural, glycosylated
state. The hydrolosis of fermentation changes glycosylated isoflavones into
aglycones. Isoflavone aglycones are more readily absorbed by the body than in
the natural state. These aglycones are abundant in fermented soy products such
as miso and natto. Much like culturing cheese, the bacteria used to ferment
the soy determined the final product.
What
role do the mushrooms play?
In traditional folk medicine, basidiomycetes mushrooms are useful against immune
suppressive conditions. Today, scientists attribute this quality to their polysaccharide
content. In addition, some basidiomycetes mushrooms are known to produce glucosidase
enzymes when fermented. Glucosidase enzymes have the unique ability to convert
isoflavone glycosides into glucose and genistein aglycones.
How
does GCP affect immune response?
In the human immune system, the task of immune surveillance belongs to T-cells.
T-cells are capable of recognizing and distinguishing mutated cells from normal
cells. Mutated cells, however, can escape from the immune surveillance system
when the system is suppressed. Restoring suppressed T-cell function is an important
activity in maintaining immunity and health. Polysaccharides are reported to
support immune response.* GCP contains a rich content of polysaccharides.
How
safe is GCP?
Very. GCP is a natural and organic soy product and is considered a functional
food. Soybean and soybean products have been consumed by millions of people
for thousands of years with great health benefits and no significant side effects.
Similarly, basidiomycetes mushrooms, such as Lentinus edodes and Ganoderma lucidum,
have also been used in culinary and medicinal ways for thousands of years. There
have been no serious adverse effects reported of GCP in humans.
