Ganoderma Green Tea Benefits and Reishi Mushroom (Ganoderma Lucidum)
Reishi mushrooms (Ganoderma lucidum; Lingzhi) and green tea are two of nature’s most powerful superfoods, working in concert to improve concentration, calm the mind, and increase immunity.
ORGANO’s signature drink combines the properties of green tea with our prized Ganoderma Lucidum mushroom for an engaging combination. Ganoderma adds subtle depth to any tea drink’s flavor.
Antioxidant
Ganoderma green tea is an effective antioxidant that can protect the body against free radicals and protect it against oxidative stress, thanks to polyphenols which contain powerful antioxidative compounds found naturally within many plant-based foods such as green tea.
Ganoderma lucidum contains triterpenoids – organic compounds with C30 carbon skeletons – found in its fruiting bodies. Studies have identified triterpenoids as having antitumour, antiviral, immunomodulatory, and antidiabetic effects as well as antioxidant activity.
Coffee and green tea offer numerous physiological advantages, including stimulant and antioxidant effects. To further boost these properties, medicinal mushrooms may be added into their formulation. Incorporating these beneficial effects into everyday drinking habits while providing additional health benefits is another great benefit of these beverages.
This study employed an electrochemical method to measure the antioxidant capacity of four Ganoderma-infused white tea products (A, B and C) as well as one regular white tea product (D). Results demonstrated that Total Extracted Antioxidant Capacity (TEAC) values increased with increasing Ganoderma extract concentration as well as their correlation with polysaccharide content of tea samples – this result confirmed the viability of using the phenol-sulfuric acid method as an efficient means for measuring antioxidant capacity in functional beverages.
Stimulant
G. lucidum has been shown to exhibit antioxidative, antihypertensive, hypoglycaemic and lipid-lowering properties; however results of clinical trials vary considerably. Also referred to as Lingzhi in China and Reishi in Japan, the fungus has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for 2000 years with claims it can treat coronary heart diseases, arteriosclerosis, hepatitis, arthritis nephritis bronchitis as well as various tumours.
Ganoderma Lucidum tea stands apart from other supplements by being free from chemicals, which preserves all its beneficial components – something lost with most other supplement forms. Therefore, this product is recommended for anyone wanting to strengthen their immunity or increase energy levels.
ORGANO Organic Green Tea brings together the health benefits of green tea with those of prized Ganoderma Lucidum mushroom for an irresistibly refreshing beverage.

Diuretic
Green tea has long been recognized for its health benefits, helping reduce risk factors related to heart disease and diabetes. Crafted from unfermented leaves containing polyphenols (powerful antioxidants) it acts as an natural diuretic and detoxifier in addition to being widely used as an ingredient in smoothies, shakes, breakfast cereals, porridge and muesli as well as used in cakes, pancakes, muffins and ice cream products.
Ganoderma Green Tea is a special blend of Camellia sinensis and Ganoderma lucidum extract that rejuvenates, refreshes, and revives the body system. It helps build strong immunity while guarding against chronic illnesses (heart disease, cancer and kidney disease), increases blood supply to organs for their proper functioning and acts as a free radical scavenger; helps regulate normal blood pressure while simultaneously balancing cholesterol levels; boosts metabolism level while increasing fat oxidation for energy generation.
Ganoderma lucidum, also known as Lingzhi or Reishi mushrooms, have long been used in traditional Chinese medicine as therapeutic agents with multiple healing benefits. Studies have demonstrated how G. lucidum may reduce hyperglycaemia and cardiovascular risk factors (Klupp et al. 2016), with polysaccharides and oxygenated triterpenoids from G. lucidum proven to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels through various mechanisms; possibly through inhibitory compounds like Ganolucidic Acid Eta, Ganoderenic Acid K and Ganomycin J that are thought to inhibit HMG-CoA reductase enzyme similar to statin drugs.
Anti-tumour
Ganoderma lucidum has long been revered for its healing properties and ability to enhance immunity among patients suffering from cancer, protecting against infections while simultaneously increasing white blood cell activity to combat cancerous cell growth and improve quality of life. Furthermore, this herb can be used kill cancer cells while simultaneously helping prevent further tumors from developing.
Ganoderma green tea offers more than anti-tumour benefits; it may also help lower high blood pressure due to its antioxidants and ability to balance hormones within the body. Furthermore, this powerful beverage also has other health advantages, such as lowering cholesterol and increasing energy levels.
Ganoderma is a highly sought-after herb, widely revered for its numerous health benefits and available in various forms. Studies have demonstrated its polysaccharides (particularly beta glucans) can reduce inflammation, stimulate and regulate immune response systems, boost oxygen utilization and liver metabolism and facilitate toxin removal; known as the “Mushroom of Immortality” or the “King of Mushrooms,” this adaptogen balances your body, strengthens immunity while increasing oxygen utilization while detoxifying liver toxins – making Ganoderma an indispensable adaptogen that has long been employed both within Chinese and Japanese medical traditions for its therapeutic properties.
Anti-inflammatory
Ganoderma lucidum, more commonly known as Reishi mushroom, offers many health advantages. This edible fungus has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine due to its medicinal properties. Reishi mushrooms contain beta glucan, which strengthens immunity. Triterpenes also help reduce allergic reactions by blocking histamine production. Furthermore, Reishi mushrooms possess anti-inflammatory effects and can ease asthma symptoms.
Reishi mushrooms are packed with essential vitamins and minerals, such as A, C, E, niacin, phosphorus, potassium and zinc. Additionally, they provide protein and fatty acids to the diet as well as essential enzymes like superoxide dismutase and lysozyme which play an integral role in disease defense systems; furthermore their constituent ergosterol and coumarin can even protect the liver against potential harm.
Reishi mushroom contains polysaccharides and is an integral component of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The mushroom can be obtained by grinding or crushing dried fruiting bodies and extracting their contents with hot water or alcohol, followed by powdering to make a dry ingredient for storage as a dry ingredient. Reishi has an extremely high antioxidant capacity, making it suitable for increasing efficacy of green tea; extract mixed into tea will increase potency further; results indicate higher TEAC values when mixed into tea blended with Reishi extract than when mixed into tea infused with Reishi than when mixed into regular green tea leaves!
Anti-hypertensive
Ganoderma Green Tea is an organic green tea beverage mixed with the highly sought-after Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) mushroom to revitalize and refresh your body system. Perfect for everyone suffering from high blood pressure, Ganoderma Green Tea features unfermented green tea leaves along with natural extract from Ganoderma to give its unique flavor profile.
Ganondria lucidum, commonly referred to in China and Japan as Lingzhi or Reishi, is an edible mushroom belonging to the Ganoderma genus of wood-rotting fungi found within order Polyporales. Used medicinally since over 2000 years in Chinese tradition medicine, it contains volatile triterpenoids with C30 structures as well as polysaccharides with multiple bioactive properties that make this mushroom beneficial in many ways.
These polysaccharides are composed of monosaccharides such as glucose, fructose, xylose and mannose and feature different glycosidic bonds with bioactive properties.
Studies have demonstrated the effects of G. lucidum as an antihypertensive. Furthermore, its polysaccharides help increase ATP production in cells and improve glucose tolerance; inhibit phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase enzyme and prevent its activation during insulin production; as well as having immunomodulatory properties to protect against hepatitis and liver damage, reduce renal dysfunction risk, promote respiratory health by helping avoid bronchitis and asthma attacks, treat coronary heart diseases and treat coronary artery diseases and arteriosclerosis.
