Ganoderma Lucidum and Green Tea
Ganoderma and green tea combine powerful anti-oxidants found in green tea with the immunity enhancing benefits of Ganoderma lucidum for optimal health benefits. Each sachet offers all three of these great ingredients for maximum support of your wellbeing.
Numerous studies have confirmed the cancer chemopreventative potential of G. lucidum extracts (GLE) and their main polyphenolic constituent, EGCG. GLE and GTE were found to significantly suppress highly invasive breast cancer cell proliferation in both dose- and time-dependent ways.
Boosts Immune System
The immune system serves as the body’s first line of defense against harmful microbes such as viruses and bacteria. In addition, it fights off toxins which contribute to inflammation and chronic diseases in order to keep us free of illness and injury.
Green tea and Ganoderma Lucidum together have been shown to boost immunity. Ganoderma lucidum combined with green tea extract (GTE, which standardized at 97% poly-phenols and 38% of EGCG) significantly suppressed adhesion, migration, invasion, secretion of Urokinase Plasminogen Activator (uPA), which promotes cancer cell metastasis.
Studies have demonstrated the power of medicinal mushrooms to stop cancer cells from proliferating by blocking key signaling pathways involved with their growth and spread. Ganoderma lucidum contains various polysaccharides and triterpenes which have demonstrated immunomodulatory properties.
An organic green tea infused with organic Ganoderma Lucidum and Cordyceps will boost immunity. This minimally processed herbal blend was grown in China’s Fujian Province which boasts optimal altitude, climate and soil conditions to produce premium-grade leaves for growing premium-grade leaves.
Organic Ganoderma lucidum spores are carefully collected from their native environment using an advanced, proprietary process designed to preserve their full potency. Once collected, they’re combined with high-grade organic green tea from that region for a delicious beverage that provides both an energy boost and relaxation therapy in one. Enjoy daily for optimal wellness!
Organic Ganoderma Lucidum capsules are packed with premium organic green tea and an effective combination of cordyceps and reishi mushroom spores to support immune health during colds or simply when feeling your best. Each capsule features three strengths designed to meet specific health goals.
Promotes Healthy Blood Pressure Levels
Ganoderma lucidum is an anti-cancer medicinal mushroom with potency. Its polysaccharides, glycoproteins, and triterpenes have shown various chemopreventive effects against cancer cells in vitro as well as improving cardiovascular health, reducing stress levels and encouraging weight loss. Furthermore, these compounds were discovered to boost white blood cells activity for fighting infections and diseases more effectively.
Study participants implanted human breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231s) into the mammary fat pads of nude mice. Following implant, GLE or GTE alone or combined were applied topically; results demonstrated significant inhibition in tumor growth and metastasis by blocking expression of c-myc proteins within MDA-MB-231 cells.
Studies have also demonstrated the efficacy of G. lucidum in reducing cholesterol and triglyceride levels among humans. Furthermore, its hypocholesterolemic properties help decrease inflammation while increasing metabolic processes within livers and intestines.
Ganoderma lucidum has been shown to possess antioxidant properties that protect against free radical damage to cells, mitochondria and lipids. These effects are attributable to its constituents such as polysaccharides, glycoproteins, triterpenes and amino acids which all help provide these effects. These polysaccharides act like chemical bridges to interrupt chain reactions by either donating hydrogen or combining with electrons; additionally they stimulate production of glutathione peroxidase which acts as an enzyme against harmful free radicals.
Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) mushrooms have long been used in traditional Chinese medicine to boost immune systems, reduce stress and fatigue levels, assist weight loss efforts and support overall wellness. Reishi mushrooms contain beta-glucans which have been shown to prevent colds and flu outbreaks as a great supplement against infection – making this supplement accessible online as well as health stores across the nation. They come in the form of capsules, liquid extracts, chewable tablets, rice wine syrup and tea products available both online.
Supports Weight Loss
Green tea contains polyphenols that serve as powerful antioxidants, helping fight free radicals that damage cells. Furthermore, L-theanine found in green tea has been proven to promote relaxation and sleep quality – both benefits magnify each other to support immunity, reduce stress levels and support weight loss. When combined with Ganoderma Lucidum extract the effects are amplified even further – helping promote immune health, reduce stress levels and assist weight loss efforts.
This herbal blend combines mild-tasting organic green tea and Ganoderma lucidum mushroom for an anti-oxidant-rich beverage, both highly esteemed ingredients in traditional Asian culture for their abilities as powerful adaptogens and immune enhancers.
The fungus used in this product thrives unperturbed on logs in Wuyi Mountains of Fuzhou Province China and are harvested after 8 months when production peaks – harvesting both mycelium and lucidum parts which contain health-enhancing components – to ensure all active compounds are present in its final formulation.
Green tea and Ganoderma Lucidum are naturally low in caffeine, making this drink ideal for those avoiding coffee or looking to limit their stimulant intake. As well as providing natural energy boost, this product aids weight loss by decreasing blood sugar levels in the body while improving digestive health, improving sleep quality and helping to promote overall well-being – providing you with all-day wellness!
Studies conducted recently demonstrated the combination of Ganoderma and Green Tea Extract inhibited breast cancer cell line growth by decreasing uPA, an anticancer protein linked to highly aggressive, metastatic and resistant cancer cells. This effect occurred due to their ability to lower secreted levels.
This product uses only premium-grade fungus and green tea grown under stringent standards, making it safe to consume even for those with certain medical conditions. As always, before beginning any supplement regimen or taking medications for health issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart problems or other serious ailments it is wise to seek professional advice first.
Reduces Stress
Ganoderma lucidum (also referred to as Reishi mushroom or Lingzhi in Chinese) is an extensively utilized and revered medicinal mushroom that has a wide array of health benefits, including cardiovascular (i.e. improving blood pressure and lipid levels); anti-inflammatory properties which may help alleviate stress; and antidiabetic effects which may reduce hyperglycaemia. Extracts can be taken in tea form for maximum effectiveness due to polysaccharides, triterpenoids and glycosides contained within its contents – these benefits likely result from polysaccharides being present within these constituents.
G. lucidum has been shown to possess both antiproliferative and antiinvasive activities, making it a viable cancer chemopreventive agent. Studies conducted both in vitro and in vivo have demonstrated its antiproliferative and antiinvasive activities; its polysaccharides and triterpenoids have been found to suppress breast cancer cell proliferation, prevent invasion by cancer cells, promote differentiation of cells into healthy tissues, as well as suppressing certain signaling pathways involved with their proliferation such as AP-1 and NF-kB pathways.
One study demonstrated that freeze-dried G. lucidum preparations possessed greater antioxidant activity than heat-dried preparations due to their preservation of lucidenic acid and 12-acetyl ganoderic acid F, and this high level of antioxidants contributed to anti-inflammatory, antihyperglycaemic, and lipid-reducing benefits when given to patients suffering from type 2 diabetes or metabolic syndrome.
Another study performed using a mouse model of transverse aortic constriction-induced cardiac dysfunction showed that administering G. lucidum spore oil for 14 days normalised ventricular tachycardia, corrected left ventricular hypertrophy and ejection fraction and significantly decreased levels of circular RNA Foxo3 expression.
G. lucidum and green tea extracts were recently shown to exert a synergistic effect in preventing breast cancer cell invasion, possibly through suppressing MDA-MB-231 cells’ production of uPA (a protein that promotes cell invasion and metastasis), while also inducing apoptosis within these cells.
