GCP is an abbreviation
for Genistein Combined Polysaccharide. GCP is a novel functional health
food produced by fermentation of soybean isoflavone extracts with basidiomycetes
mushrooms. GCP contains a rich content of isoflavone aglycones, especially genistein,
as well as a rich content of polysaccharides from basidiomycetes. Amino Up Chemical
Co’s innovative technology allowed successful transformation of isoflavone
glycoside into isoflavone aglycones by using -glucosidase
enzyme, the fermentation product of basidiomycetes. As a result, GCP combines
the anti-angiogenesis effects of genistein with the apoptosis inducing effects
of basidiomycete polysaccharides, both of which act to enhance the immune response
and exert their anti-tumor activities.
