Antrodia Camphorata Supplements for Liver Health *

Our Antrodia Liver Health supplement features ProAntro®, a fermented extract of Antrodia camphorata, crafted to help support the body’s natural detoxification and metabolic balance, as well as potentially maintain liver health, including its repair and protection mechanisms.*

This supplement is part of our Liver and Detox category.*

Antrodia Camphorata and Liver Health*

What is Antrodia camphorata?

Also known as camphor fungus, Antrodia camphorata is a rare, slow-growing mushroom native to Taiwan, potentially traditionally used for liver health support.*

Naturally found on the Cinnamomum kanehirae tree – or Taiwanese camphor tree – it might be rich in bioactive compounds, including antroquinonol, triterpenoids, SOD (the superoxide dismutase enzyme), and polysaccharides – or nucleic acids.*

ProAntro® and Liver Wellness*

The mushroom Antrodia camphorata appears to have been traditionally used in East Asia, and specifically Chinese medicine to potentially help support liver function and promote its natural cleansing and regenerative processes.*

ProAntro®, as developed by researchers, is a fermented mycelium extract supposed to deliver the unique compounds found in Antrodia camphorata in a standardized, bioavailable form.*

Preliminary clinical research seems to suggest that ProAntro® may offer targeted support for overall liver wellness and metabolic balance.*

In a clinical study, participants who supplemented with 300 mg of ProAntro® daily over 12 weeks might have shown the following results:*

• Changes in serum AST (-20.7%) and ALT (-26.2%) levels, two markers commonly monitored in relation to liver function.* These results may reflect a positive influence on enzyme balance and overall metabolic function.*
• Reduction in serum triglyceride levels (-16.8%), suggesting a potential benefit for lipid metabolism and healthy fat balance within the liver.*

Additional clinical research seems to suggest that ProAntro® may support the body’s natural detoxification pathways by influencing acetaldehyde levels (-18.64%), a compound produced during alcohol metabolism.* These findings might point to a potential benefit for overall metabolic balance and internal cleansing processes.*

Five Potential Features of our Antrodia Supplement*

Our Antrodia camphorata formula may stand out for five reasons:*

1. Quite rare and naturally-sourced ingredient: Antrodia camphorata is a mushroom that might be known for its slow growth and specific environmental needs, possibly making it challenging to cultivate.* With over 400 scientific studies exploring its potential properties, it has recently been evaluated for its composition and recognized as a novel food by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).*
2. Solid-state fermentation method: ProAntro® is a fermented mycelium extract produced via a solid-state process that may take 5 to 6 months to complete.* Unlike faster liquid fermentation, this traditional technique could support optimal concentration of beneficial compounds – such as antroquinonol – and consistency in every batch.*
3. Standardized and well-balanced formula: each daily serving delivers 300 mg of ProAntro®, standardized to provide >0.3% antroquinonol and >1% triterpenoids.* The extract also contains naturally occurring metabolites, including polysaccharides, nucleic acids, and superoxide dismutase (SOD).*
4. Evaluated in clinical studies: ProAntro® has been evaluated in two proprietary placebo-controlled clinical trials and an additional 90-day safety study, assessing its quality and consistency as a dietary ingredient.*
5. Comprehensive approach to liver wellness support: studies seem to suggest that ProAntro® may support different functions related to liver health, including natural detox pathways, metabolic balance, and overall cellular protection.*
