Ginseng contains more than 30 kinds of saponins, which have two-way regulation effect, and the effect will be different because of different receptors. Ginsenosides mainly have the functions of enhancing immunity, relieving physical strength, resisting fatigue and detoxifying. The role of ginsenoside is explained in detail below.
Ginsenoside is the main effective component of ginseng, which has high anti-tumor activity, no toxic and side effects on normal cells, and has synergistic effect when combined with other chemotherapy drugs. At present, China has done a lot of research on the extraction and separation methods, preparation technology and clinical application of ginsenoside, and new ginsenoside products have been listed.
Ginseng can strengthen the foundation, restore vitality, prolong life and strengthen the body. Modern medical research has found that ginseng is complex and should not be taken by tumor patients. Ginseng, Dendrobium and velvet antler are listed as the three best nourishing products in China. Ginseng has complex varieties, good or bad quality, and even counterfeit. Therefore, it is necessary to identify when buying. Imported ginseng has good taste, bitter and sweet aroma and the best effect.
The role of ginsenoside
1. Induces cancer cell apoptosis: Apoptosis is an active physiological process like flowering. Under normal circumstances, there is always a dynamic balance between cell proliferation and apoptosis, which can maintain normal and stable cell proliferation. When some factors lead to uncontrolled cell proliferation and blocked cell apoptosis, it can lead to abnormal cell proliferation and cancer.
2, enhance the body's immunity: human immune dysfunction or low is one of the main causes of cancer. Chemotherapy or radiotherapy for cancer treatment will further destroy human immune function. Ginsenoside alone can effectively regulate human immune function. Combined use after operation or during radiotherapy and chemotherapy can effectively protect immune organs and enhance immune function.
3, improve immunity: immunity is its own natural defense barrier, immune disorder, immune monitoring will lose its effect, can not remove mutant cells, but also one of the causes of tumors. Ginsenoside rh2 can regulate and enhance the body's immunity in many ways, and has a protective effect on the immune system.
4. Alleviate toxic and side effects: In the process of treating tumors, it is found that the failure of cancer chemotherapy is often related to the drug resistance of chemotherapy drugs. General chemotherapy drugs are not easy to enter cancer cells, and p- glycoprotein in cancer cells can excrete chemotherapy drugs, resulting in poor drug resistance of cancer cells. Ginsenosides are hydrophilic and lipophilic, and can easily enter cancer cells to kill them.
5. Anti-fatigue effect: Ginsenoside can prolong swimming time with load, increase glycogen storage or reduce glycogen consumption, reduce serum urea content and inhibit the increase of blood lactic acid after exercise, which shows that Ginsenoside has good physical strength relieving and anti-fatigue effects.
Anti-cancer effect of ginsenoside Rh2
1, the reversal effect on cancer cells
Ginsenoside Rh2 is an exogenous differentiation inducer. By inducing differentiation and apoptosis, tumor cells are inhibited, so that tumor cells are differentiated, their morphology and function are changed, and cancer cells are gradually restored to normal cells, including many markers of gene expression close to normal cells, and even completely transformed into normal cells. This phenomenon is called redifferentiation, that is, inversion.
2. Regulation of cancer cell proliferation cycle
Under normal circumstances, there is always a dynamic balance between cell proliferation and apoptosis, which can maintain normal and stable cell proliferation. When some factors lead to uncontrolled cell proliferation and blocked cell apoptosis, it can lead to abnormal cell proliferation and cancer. Therefore, ginsenoside Rh2 mainly kills tumor cells in proliferative phase.
3, biological immune cell regulation
Ginsenoside Rh2 can improve and enhance the immune function, improve the immune ability and play an anti-tumor role in many ways, and its protective effect on the immune system is superior to other anti-tumor drugs. Ginsenoside Rh2 can significantly increase the activity of IL-2, improve the functions of T cells and macrophages, and enhance the killing activity of NK cells.
Is ginsenoside Rh2 useful?
The main function of ginsenoside Rh2 is to regulate human immunity and resist tumor. The principle is to enhance the resistance of human cells and provide cell energy to inhibit other virus cells.
Ginsenoside Rh2 has the anti-tumor effect of improving immunity, but it can't guarantee how much it improves and how much it resists. Traditional Chinese medicine is not more effective than western medicine, and there are few products on the market that clearly indicate the content of ginsenoside rh2. Many consumers are fooled into thinking that it is high in content without knowing the real situation. After going to the Food and Drug Administration, it was found that the content was very poor, and some of them could not even be found, which was closely related to the content, material, production technology and formula of ginsenoside Rh2 of each brand. In addition, dosage, time and mode of administration are also closely related. On the other hand, cancer cells are quite violent. Most cancer patients go to chemotherapy as soon as they know it, which leads to worse and worse physical function, worse resistance and various functions degradation. No matter how strong ginsenoside Rh2 is, they can't turn their bodies into indestructible bodies to destroy cancer cells in a short time.
