2. What is GCP?
GCP is an abbreviation of Genistein
Combined Polysaccharide. GCP is a novel functional health food
produced by fermentation of soybean isoflavone extracts with
basidiomycetes. GCP contains rich content of isoflavone aglycones,
especially genistein, as well as being rich in polysaccharides
delivered from basidiomycetes. We successfully transfer isoflavone
glucoside form into isoflavone aglycones by using B-glucosidase-producing
basidiomycetes by our own original technology (Fig. 1). As a result,
GCP combines the character of genistein, which effects on
anti-angiogenesis, with the character of basidiomycete
polysaccharides, which enhance immune response, and finally, exerts
their anti-tumor activities.
