The scientific literature describes triterpenes as a broad family of compounds present in mushrooms such as Ganoderma lucidum and Inonotus obliquus. These compounds have been identified for their structural diversity and their biological activity in experimental models.
Preclinical studies have observed that triterpenoids take part in processes related to the adaptive response to stress and to oxidative balance. Their interest lies in how they interact with inflammatory and metabolic pathways at the cellular level.
This body of research has led to triterpenes being considered functional components within a diet oriented toward physiological balance and the management of everyday stress, without attributing direct clinical effects to them.
Exploring foods that contain triterpenes can be relevant for those who seek to support their response to stress and their daily physiological balance. At Simbiosis we select mushrooms such as Ganoderma for their triterpenoid profile, integrating them into formulations conceived to accompany the resilience and equilibrium of the organism.
