About us
GlycaNova develops, manufactures and markets nutraceuticals, a skin cream and active pharmaceutical ingredients from Basidiomycetes using patented fermentation and separation technology.
Medicinal mushrooms have been used to treat a wide range of diseases in traditional Eastern medicine. By combining traditional natural medicine with modern, scientific production standards, GlycaNova offers safe, effective and natural health products in the form of dietary supplements and functional food ingredients. Glycanova’s first pharmaceutical product is targeted for the treatment of patients with cancer and other secondary immune deficiency syndromes. An IND (Investigational New Drug Application) has been granted in the United States and clinical studies are in progress.
GlycaNova’s novel technology can be used to produce pure bioactive ingredients found in a variety of fungal species. The process is based on decades of academic research on fungi (mycology). Our process and products are protected through five patent families.
Presently, GlycaNova offers
Lentinex® (or LentinanXP®) and Immuna®
Two immune enhancing/modifying ingredients to the functional food and dietary supplement industries.
