Research overview
Immunity
Immune regulation is one of the most studied areas of lingzhi research, much of it focused on lingzhi . Among human studies, Cochrane’s of cancer patients found that patients who took lingzhi alongside chemo- or radiotherapy had higher counts of such as CD3, CD4 and CD8. More human studies on immunity are being compiled and will be added over time.

Terms explained on this page (4)
- polysaccharides
- Large molecules in lingzhi made of linked sugar units; one of lingzhi’s main active components and closely tied to research on immune regulation.
- systematic review
- A rigorous method of finding all the studies worldwide on the same question and analyzing their results together.
- immune cells
- The body’s defense cells, such as CD4 and CD8 T cells. Studies often track changes in their numbers to gauge immune status.
- randomized
- Deciding who takes lingzhi and who does not by something like drawing lots, so the two groups are as similar as possible and the comparison is fair.
