Ganoderma Lucidum Coffee
Ganoderma lucidum, commonly referred to as Lingzhi or the “mushroom of immortality”, is an essential ingredient in functional coffee and tea products, including beverages and supplements to combat fatigue, boost immunity, calm nerves and regulate blood pressure.
Though these claims may sound plausible, no long-term research has been completed to support them.
Increased Energy
Ganoderma lucidum (Ganodermataceae), commonly referred to in China and Japan as Lingzhi and Reishi respectively, has been used as part of traditional Chinese medicine for over 2000 years and revered as the “mushroom of immortality” due to its purported ability to promote vitality and longevity. Ganoderma contains various triterpenoids with antioxidative, antiinflammatory and antitumour properties as well as polysaccharides and b-glucans which have demonstrated antiglycaemic, antilipid-lowering and antihypertensive effects as part of animal and human studies.
TCM holds that Ganoderma Lucidum has a soothing effect on the nervous system, helping alleviate fatigue. Studies indicate it stimulates production of Adenosine Triphosphate – an energy producing compound in cells – while simultaneously encouraging glucose use as fuel for fueling purposes in the body. Early research also shows neuroprotective benefits from Ganoderma against oxidative stress which could prevent Alzheimer’s Disease and may prevent dementia altogether.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome affects up to 3% of the world population. Many doctors report Ganoderma Lucidum being effective in the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome due to it increasing blood flow to the brain, thus improving cognitive function as well as helping regulate immune and cardiovascular systems.
Studies involving db/db mice recently demonstrated that water extracts of G. lucidum fruiting bodies contain compounds with hypoglycaemic activity, including b-glucans and two peptidoglycans known as Ganoderans A and B (Hikino et al., 2013). Furthermore, administration of G. lucidum to rats with diabetes improved hepatic insulin secretion while simultaneously decreasing output and increasing disposal (Pan et al., 2015).
This invention provides a coffee that contains 15-20 weight portions of Ganoderma Lucidum substance combined with Chinese medicines such as Cortex Eucommiae, Rhizoma Polygonati, Radix Codonopsis and Radix Achyranthes Root combined with two to four weight portions of coffee and a bitter taste modifier, together with a preparation process to dilute any bitter flavors found in either Chinese medicines or coffee that would otherwise cause objectionable tastes to emerge allowing people to easily drink this drink on a daily basis without objection or complaints.
Reduced Stress
Ganoderma Coffee is a powdered drink mix typically comprised of instant coffee combined with Ganoderma lucidum powdered extract, also known as “reishi” or “Lingzhi.” Additional ingredients used in Ganoderma coffee may include sugar, non-dairy creamer and herbs; making this an excellent way to reduce acidity levels and improve digestion.
Studies have revealed that G. lucidum contains numerous bioactive compounds with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumor and anti-aging properties, making it an excellent antidote against Alzheimer’s disease by slowing cognitive decline and improving memory function. Ganoderma lucidum can lower Alzheimer’s risk by slowing cognitive decline while improving memory function through several mechanisms including inhibiting tau hyperphosphorylation, ab formation inhibition and activating microglia activity as well as modulating NF-kB/MAPK signalling pathway regulating NF-kB/MAPK signalling pathway which all reduces neuronal apoptosis as modulating immune system (Sohretoglu & Huang 2018).
One of the many advantages of eating Ganoderma Lucidum is its ability to help diabetic patients maintain balanced blood sugar levels. This can prevent and treat complications related to diabetic neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy and gastroparesis by decreasing severity. Furthermore, bioactive compounds found in Ganoderma lucidum help stimulate production of insulin which helps lower blood sugar levels further while managing it by controlling production of glucose by livers and kidneys.
Ganoderma lucidum’s anticancer properties can be attributed to its polysaccharides, which have been shown to support T and B lymphocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and NK cells. Furthermore, these substances have the power to hinder tumor growth and control metastasis by encouraging immune cell proliferation, inducing apoptosis, and moderating inflammation responses.
Though these results are impressive, more research needs to be conducted in order to validate its positive effects. Furthermore, consulting a healthcare professional prior to adding Ganoderma Lucidum supplements into your diet is wise in order to ensure its safety for yourself and any current treatment plans that involve medication. Likewise, an healthcare provider can assist in creating an individual wellness routine tailored towards meeting individual needs and goals.
Reduced Blood Pressure
Ganoderma lucidum, commonly referred to in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as lingzhi or reishi mushrooms, have long been used as part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). They rank highly among herbal medicines found within China’s pharmacopeia and have been utilized to treat many medical conditions, such as fatigue, stress, insomnia and anxiety. Their antioxidant properties may help combat fatigue while simultaneously supporting natural immune functions as well as helping with absorption of nutrients into our systems.
Studies of Reishi Extracts In vitro studies have demonstrated the antihypertensive, hypoglycaemic, and lipid-reducing benefits of Reishi extracts; however, clinical trial results have been mixed due to various formulations used and patient populations tested in various trials. Therefore, additional large scale controlled clinical trials need to take place in order to ascertain any potential benefits Ganoderma Lucidum could offer in terms of cardiometabolic disease prevention/treatment.
Reishi is an adaptogen, meaning it helps manage stress and enhance cognitive performance. Furthermore, its antioxidant content supports both brain health and nervous system health. Reishi research continues, yet preliminary results indicate its consumption may provide cognitive health benefits.
Ganoderma lucidum coffee is an innovative approach to taking functional mushrooms, as it combines their beneficial effects with something most people already do – drinking coffee. As more and more people discover this method for adding mushrooms into daily life while still enjoying all of its pleasures, this approach has quickly become one of the most popular approaches available today.
Reishi coffee blend is composed of high-grade roasted coffee beans and reishi mushroom powder. With no fillers or artificial ingredients added, reishi coffee provides an exquisite and nutritious way to start the day, suitable for vegans. Available both online and at various specialty coffee shops; capsule form or mixed into instant coffee is widely available – it should contain no sugar or artificial flavourings!
Improved Sleep
Ganoderma lucidum (also known as Lingzhi or Reishi) mushrooms have been widely utilized throughout Asia for millennia to promote health and longevity, most often via Chinese, Japanese, or other Asian medicine practices. Now this ancient tradition is being utilized in Western products – from capsules, powders, tinctures, creams tea syrups and coffee! A unique new product blends two age-old traditions – coffee with Reishi mushrooms with an emphasis on quality!
One of the primary benefits of drinking Ganoderma lucidum coffee is improved sleep. It contains compounds thought to increase levels of melatonin in the body and induce and maintain restful restful slumber; this benefit may especially help those suffering from insomnia or other sleep disorders. Furthermore, its calming effects may help boost mood which in turn aid in treating depression.
Benefits of Ganoderma Lucidum Coffee may also include its ability to regulate blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and boost immunity. Reishi may help alleviate some symptoms associated with chronic fatigue syndrome – including anxiety, headaches, and muscle pain – so as to make ganoderma lucidum coffee an ideal remedy for CFS patients in the US.
Ganoderma lucidum may provide anti-amyloidogenic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective benefits that could help slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease while improving cognitive function and quality of life.
Ganoderma lucidum coffee may provide additional benefits that are often underestimated, including its beneficial impact on liver health. The fungus may protect it against oxidative damage due to its high polyphenol content – especially important in those suffering from fatty liver diseases.
Although the purported health benefits of Ganoderma lucidum may seem substantial, most have not been demonstrated through scientific research. Therefore, before making any dietary adjustments it is still wise to speak to your healthcare provider prior to doing so – this should especially apply if pregnant/breastfeeding or taking medications or having medical conditions are involved.
