I£® SATTVA ANNAM

SATTVA ANNAM is a health food extracted from various
edible fungi (those with medicinal functions such as dried
mushroom), and produced on the basis of pharmacological
testing of such fungi. Two-year clinical observations, and
comparisons with TCM treatment for verification, indicate
that this health food effectively treats repeated respiratory
infection, anorexia, dyspepsia, anemia and related complications
(known as child postinfectious syndrome of weakened spleen) in children. Similar to or even superior to
the effectiveness of treatment with medicinal herbs in traditional Chinese medicine, it is easy to use and free
from contraindications, allowing complete self-medication.

The main active components of SATTVA ANNAM are polysaccharides from various fungi. The health food also contains active components such as triterpenes, saponins, flavones and propylester.

SATTVA ANNAM serves as a highly effective treatment for repeated respiratory infection, anorexia as well as related complications in children, providing efficient and sustained relief. Since there is currently no efficient or effective treatment domestically available for the diseases, it offers powerful treatment to children. Children using SATTVA ANNAM become more healthy and active, achieving more in their studies and making greater contributions to the community in the future--this is what our researchers hope for.

Functions of polysaccharides in edible fungi
Polysaccharides, macromolecular substances made of multiple monosaccharides, are divided into starch, cellulose, dextrin, Tuckahoe polysaccharide, etc. Some polysaccharides are pharmacologically active whereas others are not, depending on the composition and connection of the monosaccharides. Tuckahoe polysaccharide with a (1-4)-connected branched chains tend to be of lower efficiency in enhancing immunity. If the branched chains are disconnected or carboxymethylated to form new Tuckahoe polysaccharides, the power to enhance immunity is greatly improved. Lentinan, the b (1-3) connected glucan, contains no branched chains, leading to higher efficacy in activating T-Lymphocytes. The protein-connecting polysaccharide (known as PSK in Japan) derived from rainbow conk hypha also has glucan with b (1-3) as its main chain, containing 15% protein and a few mannose bases. The polysaccharide promotes the activity of macrophages, thus preventing viral diseases and tumors. The polysaccharide derived from piziza vesicolosa promotes immunity as well as cell division. Prof. Fang Jinian of the Shanghai Drug Research Institute, along with Japanese and Russian researchers, obtained from astragalus the glucan with a (1-4) as its main chain and with branch chain at position 6; this polysaccharide promotes phagocytosis of celiac macrophages, reticuloendothelial cells and T-Lymphocytes.

Polysaccharides of edible fungi are wide-spectrum immunity promoter, varying in functions and features. Medical researches of polysaccharides started in 1943 while the wide-spectrum immunity promoter arouses much interest in 1960s. Prof. Fang points out that more and more research indicates that polysaccharides treat cancers with severely damaged immune systems, immunity deficiency diseases (such as chronic viral hepatitis and drug-resistant bacteria or virus induced chronic diseases), and immunity diseases (such as rheumatism); some also induce interferon. Polysaccharides promote immunity by activating macrophages, T-Lymphocytes and b cells, or by promoting antibody production and activation. It was found that polysaccharides change the structure of a -spiral proteins of bovine serum albumin and decisively affect cell walls, which lead to increased application of polysaccharides upon metabolic disorders, infections and tumors. In recent years, it was found that polysaccharides control cell division and differentiation and regulate cell growth and aging. Inaddition, polysaccharides are an excellent adjuvant.

Pharmacological research on the main fungi in the health food for children
The health food, made from various edible fungi such as dried mushrooms, contains the polysaccharides of fungi as its active components. Clinical research reveals that the food effectively treats dyspepsia, weakness, anemia, anorexia, repeated respiratory infection and related complications (referred to by the deputy director of Shanghai TCM Hospital as child postinfectious syndrome of weakened spleen) in children. The health food is warmly received by children and their families. Development of the health food was based on pharmacological tests of the main fungi. In order to protect our findings, we code the main fungi as 8612 and 8645, whose results are as follows:

Edible fungus 8612 influence upon animal tolerance to lack of oxygen
Mice weighing from 18 to 20 grams are used in the test, with males and females in half. Apply orally 8612 extract (0.4 ml / 20 g) to the treatment group and saline (0.4 ml / 20 g) to the control group. Thirty minutes later, transfer into wide mouthed bottles with oil-sealed mouths (with 6-gram sodalime inside). Take notes of the breathing cessation time. See the following table.

Efficacy study of the health food for children

The efficacy study of the health food is divided into two parts. In the first part, repeated respiratory infection and anorexia as well as related complications are observed. For a better understanding of the efficacy of the health food, the diseases are briefly explained as follows.

?.Child anorexia: visible lack of appetite of children aged below 12. They appear to have no interest in foods, or lack appetite. They eat much less than the average child of the same age. Some children also appear to have interest in certain foods while having no appetite for most foods.

What they eat is also less than the average child of the same age. The cause of anorexia is rather complicated, mainly divided into primary and secondary. No specific reason is found for the primary anorexia (which we study). Most primary anorexia cases are caused by appetite disorders owing to improper feeding, improper dietary habit, eating certain foods only or psychological factors, and a few by poor digestion owing to respiratory infections. Secondary anorexia is caused by appetite disorders owing to stomach, intestinal or other diseases. The health food treats primary anorexia cases and a few secondary anorexia cases.

 Child repeated respiratory infection: repeated infection of the upper or lower respiratory tract of children aged below 12. The infections, referred to as respiratory infection, include rhinitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, tracheitis, bronchitis and pneumonia. Present research indicates that it is because of poor immunity and poor nutrition that a few children are prone to respiratory infections, especially those suffering from deficiency of proteins, vitamin A & D and certain microelements. Infections are closely related to the amount of immunoglobulin SIgA. Lack of the secreted immunoglobulin leads to children respiratory infections. In the study, children who have respiratory infections for at least three successive months are observed. The study proves that the health food safeguards the children by preventing respiratory infections.

’ Child postinfectious syndrome of weakened spleen: following one or several infections, shown as long-time symptoms of a weakened spleen. The child suffers from continuous lack of appetite, proneness to infections, paleness, emaciation, sweating, fatigue, abnormal excretion (watery or dry stool or constipation), poor sleeping, developmental disorder (for those with long case history), chronic congestion in the throat, enlargement of tonsils and lymph nodes and slight heart murmur. Physical examinations reveal slight anemia, slight rise of WBC count and Neutrophil, lower diastase in urine, lower cellular immunity and humoral immunity, and lower content of copper, zinc and iron in hair.

1. Clinical observations

Subjects: children aged below 12 suffering from anorexia and repeated respiratory infection. Eighty-five (85) patients were studied, including 47 males and 38 females. 33 patients are below 3 years old, 30 from 4 to 6, 13 from 7 to 9 and 4 from 10 to 12.

Endpoints: Â� obviously effective: great improvement of appetite and disappearance of repeated respiratory infection following one to two treatment periods;  effective: improvement of appetite and reduction of repeated respiratory infection (less than once each month) following one to two treatment periods; ’ ineffective: no improvement of appetite and more than one respiratory infection following one to two treatment periods. The observations shall be made in the three-month follow-up studies after the treatment is completed.
