Short answer:<\/strong> Antrodia cinnamomea is a rare medicinal mushroom from Taiwan, rich in triterpenoids, polysaccharides and SOD, and its benefits are mostly about everyday liver support: it is traditionally taken in Taiwan for the liver and around drinking, and supplement makers describe it as supporting liver function, alcohol breakdown and energy. Most research so far is laboratory and animal work, so think of it as daily support, not medicine. Most supplements use cultured mycelium, because the wild mushroom grows only inside the stout camphor tree. Human safety data is limited, so pregnant or breastfeeding women and anyone on regular medicine should ask a doctor first. If you want it as a daily drink, TIGROX LIVETAL is built on Antromax\u00ae antrodia from Taiwan with turmeric, bupleurum and astragalus \u2014 see LIVETAL on our Singapore store<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

We sell an antrodia drink in Singapore, so here is a plain guide to the mushroom first, then where our product fits.<\/p>\n

What is antrodia cinnamomea (antrodia camphorata)?<\/h2>\n

Antrodia cinnamomea and antrodia camphorata are two names for the same fungus (camphorata appears in many older papers; some also use Taiwanofungus camphoratus). In Chinese it is \u725b\u6a1f\u829d (niu zhang zhi), the \u201cstout camphor mushroom\u201d. It grows wild only inside the stout camphor tree, 450 to 2,000 m up in Taiwan\u2019s mountains, so the wild mushroom is scarce and expensive.<\/p>\n

That is why most supplements use mycelium, the fungus\u2019s root-like growth, cultured rather than picked wild; that is what \u201cantrodia cinnamomea mycelia\u201d on a label means. The antrodia in LIVETAL is Antromax\u00ae, which our page describes as antrodia cinnamomea mycelium cultured on whole grains for 3 to 5 months.<\/p>\n

What are the benefits of antrodia?<\/h2>\n

Researchers are interested in antrodia mainly for its triterpenoids. The ingredient flyer quoted on our page cites 400+ papers in international journals and up to 200 triterpenoids found in it, and the page labels this as about the Antromax\u00ae ingredient, not studies of LIVETAL. Most of that research is laboratory or animal work, so be cautious with pages that promise big results.<\/p>\n

In Taiwan antrodia is traditionally taken for the liver, for energy and around drinking. Here is what our LIVETAL page says the antrodia in it does, together with its other botanicals:<\/p>\n
