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.
