INGREDIENTS
Ganoderma lucidum, commonly referred to as red Reishi, adds an exquisitely smooth flavour to this rich, bold, and sophisticated coffee beverage. Renowned for its spiritual potency and listed in ancient Chinese Materia Medica as being capable of increasing longevity, modern research has also demonstrated how Ganoderma polysaccharides and triterpenoids can also boost immunity while exerting anti-aging benefits – these discoveries earned its inclusion into Compendium of Materia Medica.
Ganoderma is a double-walled basidiomycete fungus with fruiting bodies that produce spores. Ganoderma has long been used as a medicinal herbal medicine in traditional Chinese medicine to strengthen spirits, reinvigorate spleen function, replenish Qi reserves and restore reserves. Ganoderma provides vital nutrients and phytochemicals such as amino acids, fatty acids, nucleosides, steroids, alkaloids polypeptides enzymes with wide ranging bioactive activities including anti-ageing properties; antiglycemic, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, hepatoprotective and neuroprotective properties.
G. lucidum mycelia and fruiting bodies contain polysaccharides, glycoproteins, proteins, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, nucleosides, sterols, lectins and fatty acid derivatives among many other chemical components that have various biological activities such as being cytotoxic, hepatoprotective, antihypertensive, hypocholesterolemic, antihistaminic, antiinflammatory hypoglycemic or even antiangiogenic. Studies have also confirmed this finding.
G. lucidum contains over 200 types of triterpenoids, including an abundance of tetracyclic triterpenes, in its mycelia and fruiting bodies, research has demonstrated this fact. Many research findings indicate that some triterpenoids, specifically Ganoderic Acid, Ganoderiol, and Ganolactone, possess various biological activities including anti-aging, hypoglycemic, antiallergic, antigiogenic and immunomodulatory activities.
Studies have demonstrated the efficacy of G. lucidum ethanol extracts as liver-protecting agents in animal models. This effect was attributable to its ability to decrease malondialdehyde levels, increase antioxidant enzyme levels and suppress inflammatory mediators; further evidence for mycelium fermented liquid’s protective ability is its ability to prevent alcohol-induced hepatitis in mice.
G. lucidum has also been proven to boost host immune function, including both innate and adaptive immunity, by increasing CD3+ lymphocyte counts and CD4/CD8 ratio. Studies conducted on animal models demonstrated both its antidiabetic activity as well as mild hypoglycemic effect, likely attributable to its high content of leucine which interacts with insulin. Additionally, animal models reported anxiolytic, antidepressant, and sedative properties from using this supplement. Studies have also demonstrated that combining G. lucidum with chemotherapy significantly increased survival rates among cancer patients; however, further investigation should be undertaken to assess its efficacy for treating cancer in humans. Results indicate that this innovative therapy may be effective against hepatocellular carcinoma in combination with standard chemotherapy; however, further investigation must be conducted to see whether this approach is applicable against other cancers as well.
