Genistein Combined Polysaccharide Overview

Genistein combined polysaccharide is a supplement that comes from soybeans and mushrooms. It has genistein, a plant chemical that acts like estrogen (i.e., a phytoestrogen), and polysaccharide, a kind of sugar that helps the immune system. Genistein combined polysaccharide is made by mixing soy extract with a group of mushrooms called basidiomycetes. People take genistein combined polysaccharide to prevent and treat different kinds of cancer, especially those that are affected by hormones, such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, and bladder cancer. Some research suggests that genistein may stop cancer cells from growing, kill them, cut off their blood supply, lower inflammation, and balance hormone levels but more research is needed to make sure genistein combined polysaccharide is safe and effective for different health problems.

Sargramostim Overview

  • Sargramostin is used to decrease the chance of infection in people who have acute myelogenous leukemia (AML; a type of cancer of the white blood cells) and are receiving chemotherapy medications that may decrease the number of neutrophils (a type of blood cell needed to fight infection). Sargramostin is also used in people who are undergoing blood stem cell transplants, in people who are undergoing bone marrow transplants, and to prepare the blood for leukapheresis (a treatment in which certain blood cells are removed from the body and then returned to the body following chemotherapy). Sargramostim is also used in people who have not responded after receiving a blood marrow transplant. Sargramostin is in a class of medications called colony-stimulating factors. It works by helping the body make more neutrophils and certain other blood cells.
