Meanwhile, some liver cancer patients no longer need to undergo open surgery to have their tumours removed. And as SingHealth Transplant Awareness Week approaches, we share the experiences and thoughts of those whose lives have changed – for the better – as a result of transplants. Read these and other stories in the latest issue of Singapore Health.

  • Every one is responsible for their own healthThere are more than 50 thousand kinds of mushrooms in the world; of which the one most talked about today

    is Agaricus. Agaricus itself has more than 200 strains. Sun Chlorella Agaricus uses "Himematsutake Iwade

    Strain 101" (scientific name Agaricus blazei Murill) mushroom which is grown in Brazil. The fruiting bodies in

    Agaricus blazei Murill contain -(16)-D-glucan protein complexes and RNA-protein complexes, which help maintain health, and its mycelia section contain glucomannan. In addition, it is discovered to be rich in vitamins

    and minerals, much higher than Lingzhi, Reishi, Maitake and Shitake.

    Why is Sun Chlorella Agaricus used as a Natural Alternative?

    Sun Chlorella A, on its own, has benefited many people with a wide range of health problems. Amongst the

    many Agaricus products available in the market, only Sun Chlorella Agaricuss world patented formula contains

    Agaricus blazei, Chlorella Growth Factor and Mycelium which is optimum for building the bodys defences

    According to R&D studies on Agaricus blazei Murill as an Alternative Therapy, there are many Agaricus products which does not even achieve 30% immunity

    level. However, C.G.F. and Agaricus combined together have been shown to achieve suppression levels of up to 90%.

    Why collagen is better than glucosamine?In the composition of cartilage we fi nd 67% of collagen versus 1% of glucosamine.Glucosamine is an aminosaccharide contrary to collagen which is a molecularcomplex containing amino acids. Glucosamine is found in interesting quantities only in the liquid of the synovial membrane. Collagen is also found in the synovialmembrane but in larger quantities because the protein structure is more abundant inthe body.

    Glucosamine acts more like a lubricant in the joints while collagen contributesto the global regeneration of the joint at all levels: tendons, ligaments, carti-lage, muscles, membranes and synovialliquid (lubrifi cation).

    Our tendons... Our bodys rubber bandsBy observing the diagram of the human body on this page, we can easily recognize all the space that our muscles, ligaments and tendons occupy. The tendon is composed of thick, white fi bres of collagen that are held tightly against one another. These fi bres are made up in large part by collagen.

    Our ligaments act like a connection between the bones. Our tendons act like ties to our internal structure for our muscles and our bones. The tendons and the ligaments of our body act like rubber bands of different sizes.

    Since our tendons are used to bind our musculature to our bones, and to maintain elasticity and suppleness, our tendons necessitate a large amount of collagen, particularly after an injury or from aging.
