Antrodia Liver Health is a dietary supplement featuring ProAntro®, a fermented extract of Antrodia camphorata, studied for its role in liver health support.*
Research suggests that ProAntro® may support liver detoxification, repair, and protection.*
It is part of our liver and detox product category.
What Is Antrodia Camphorata and How May It Support Liver Health?*
What is Antrodia camphorata?
Antrodia camphorata, also known as camphor fungus, is a rare mushroom native to Taiwan. It has an orange to reddish-brown color, a woody texture, and an irregular shape.
In the wild, it exclusively grows on the Taiwanese camphor tree (Cinnamomum kanehirae).
Antrodia camphorata is known for its high concentration of antroquinonol, a highly bioactive compound.
It also contains a range of bioactive metabolites, including over 200 triterpenoids (significantly more than most mushrooms), polysaccharides, the enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD), and nucleic acids.*
ProAntro®: Fermented Extract of Antrodia camphorata and Its Potential Benefits*
The mushroom Antrodia camphorata has been traditionally used in Chinese medicine to support liver health and promote its natural cleansing and regenerative processes.*
Researchers have developed ProAntro®, an innovative fermented extract derived from its mycelium.
Placebo-controlled clinical studies suggest that ProAntro® may provide support for overall liver health.*
In a clinical study, participants who took 300 mg of ProAntro® daily for 12 weeks experienced:
- Observed changes in serum AST (-20.7%) and ALT (-26.2%) levels, two enzymes associated with liver function.* These findings suggest a potential role in supporting normal liver enzyme levels and overall well-being.*
- Reported decrease in serum triglyceride levels (-16.8%), linked to lipid metabolism and liver function.* Maintaining a healthy balance of liver fats is an important aspect of overall metabolic health.*
Another clinical study observed that ProAntro® may influence acetaldehyde levels (-18.64%), a byproduct of alcohol metabolism.* These findings suggest a potential role in supporting the body's natural detoxification processes and overall well-being.*
Five Distinct Features of Our Antrodia Supplement*
Our Antrodia camphorata supplement stands out in five key ways:*
- Rare, exclusive, and innovative ingredient: Antrodia camphorata is a mushroom known for its slow growth and specific environmental needs, making it challenging to cultivate.* With over 400 scientific studies, this ingredient has been evaluated for its composition and recently recognized as a safe novel food by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).* Unlike many supplements formulated with plant extracts or antioxidants, our formulation provides a distinct approach to overall well-being.*
- Enhanced extract through a unique fermentation process: We use ProAntro®, a premium extract of Antrodia camphorata, produced through an advanced solid-state fermentation method.* Unlike liquid fermentation, which is quicker but produces different compound profiles, our process takes 5-6 months to optimize the extraction of naturally occurring compounds.* This method ensures a consistent composition and a well-standardized concentration of antroquinonol.*
- Well-calibrated composition and dosage: The product is standardized to >0.3% antroquinonol (a naturally occurring compound in Antrodia camphorata) and to >1% triterpenoids.* It also contains other naturally present metabolites, including polysaccharides, SOD, and nucleic acids.* Each serving provides 300 mg of ProAntro® per day, the same amount used in clinical research that explored its effects on key biomarkers.*
- Evaluated in rigorous clinical research: As mentioned above, ProAntro® has been studied in two proprietary clinical trials assessing its composition and effects (randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled), as well as a separate 90-day study on its safety profile.*
- A comprehensive approach to liver function support: Research on ProAntro® has explored its role in supporting various aspects of liver function, including its involvement in natural detoxification processes, alcohol metabolism, lipid balance, and overall liver well-being.*
