Ganoderma lucidum is an ancient medicinal mushroom with wide-ranging therapeutic benefits, especially its beta-glucans content which stimulate immune cells in order to combat pathogens more effectively. Our tea from this species provides ample cellular activation against pathogens.

Ganoderma lucidum (Lingzhi or Reishi) belongs to the Kingdom Fungi, Phylum Basidiomycota, Class Polyporales, Genus Ganodermataceae and species G. lucidum P. Karst [1].

Anti-Inflammatory

Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) has long been used in traditional herbal and medicinal practices, earning it the moniker “Mushroom of Immortality.” Reishi has many beneficial health-promoting effects including immune regulation and blocking pro-inflammatory cytokine production.

Reishi mushroom extract also reduces blood sugar, improves insulin sensitivity in diabetics, acts as an antidepressant and modulates neurotransmitters to elevate mood, relieving symptoms associated with fibromyalgia. As an immunostimulant it enhances antigen-specific immune responses as well as humoral immunity as well as cellular immunity – all at the same time.

Other functional mushrooms have also demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties, including the compound Lentinan from Pleurotus tuber-regium which reduces blood pressure in hypertensive rats, as well as Ganoderma tetragonolobus’ Lentinan Sulphate which induces regression of HIV infection in human patients (Wani et al. 2010).

Ganoderma mushroom tea may provide anti-inflammatory benefits due to its polysaccharide content, particularly its b-1-3 and b-1-6 D-glucans. It may block receptors responsible for release of proinflammatory cytokines which then prevent their release into circulation.

Additionally, evidence indicates that G. lucidum contains polysaccharides that inhibit tumor growth by suppressing cancer cell migration (Han et al. 2015).

Mushrooms have long been used in African cultures as an ethnomedicinal remedy, such as Pleurotus tuber-regium to relieve headaches, fevers, colds and stomach ache; Ganoderma lucidum for arthritis and neoplasia; Termitomyces microcarpus for diabetes; Schizophyllum for malaria prevention and malnutrition management (Taofiq et al. 2016) while regular consumption can help balance the immune system and prevent inflammation (Taofiq et al. 2016). Regular consumption can help balance out our immune systems while simultaneously protecting us against inflammation (Taofiq et al. 2016). Regular consumption can help balance our immune systems as well as provide nourishment that balances immunity while helping maintain optimal immunity by strengthening immunity while simultaneously managing inflammation (Taofiq et al. 2016). Regular consumption can help balance immunity while helping balance and prevent inflammation as well as help balance immune systems overall by helping balance out immune systems by helping maintain balance (Taofiq et al.). Regular consumption can help balance immune systems by protecting against inflammation by protecting from malnutrition as well as malnutrition (Taofiq et al 2016). Regular consumption can help maintain balance immunity while helping maintain inflammation prevention by protecting from malnutrition thereby protecting from malnutrition (Taofiq et al 2016).

Anti-Cancer

Reishi mushrooms (Lingzhi or Ganoderma lucidum) are revered throughout Asia for both their health benefits and beauty. Their vibrant red hue is due to a range of terpenoids that have been proven to support immune health, promote cardiovascular wellness and help combat cancer; some studies even indicate it may help regenerate liver tissue.

Reishi’s anti-cancer properties stem from beta-glucans, complex sugars that can help slow or stop tumor growth and lower blood pressure. Lab studies have also indicated that it stimulates natural killer cells – known to attack and eliminate abnormal cells including cancerous ones – making it a potential cancer preventative agent.

Reishi can provide additional advantages for cancer patients undergoing cancer treatments, including fatigue. Studies have also demonstrated how it can increase energy levels and enhance quality of life for people living with chronic illnesses.

Reishi can aid the immune system and reduce inflammation. Furthermore, its high concentration of antioxidants provides protection from free radicals which could harm healthy cells.

Reishi contains C30 pentacyclic triterpenes such as ganoderic acid DM, lucidenic acid H, ganoderic acid C, and 12-acetyl ganoderic acid F that have been scientifically demonstrated to possess antitumor, immunomodulatory, antihepatotoxic, antimicrobial, antimalarial, and hypoglycemic activities – adding them into your daily diet can reap all its health-promoting properties!

Anti-Diabetes

Ganoderma has long been utilized as part of traditional Chinese Medicine for its immune-enhancing and anti-inflammatory effects, as well as natural treatments for diabetes. According to research conducted on animal models, Ganoderma can increase insulin sensitivity while lowering blood sugar levels; its Vitamin D content also plays a part in controlling blood sugar. Furthermore, G. lucidum contains polysaccharides known as (1-3)-a/b-glucans which stimulate secretion of insulin within the body.

Ganoderma mushroom spores contain water-soluble polysaccharides like glucans, arabinanana and mannans with various structures ranging from glycosidic bonds and stereoisomers, to improve bifidobacteria activity and suppress tumor cell proliferation. GLP isolated from Ganoderma lucidum has also been demonstrated to decrease Azoxymethane/Dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitis and tumorigenesis while simultaneously blocking activation of Wnt/catenin pathways as well as encouraging cell proliferation while simultaneously stimulating bifidobacteria activity while simultaneously suppressing tumor cell proliferation hepatocellular carcinoma cell proliferation.

Studies have also revealed that reishi can prevent liver damage and aid the recovery from cirrhosis in mice, through its hepatoprotective properties such as modulating liver lipid content and decreasing oxidative stress. Reishi’s polysaccharides provide free radical-scavengers and anti-inflammatory benefits which contribute to its hepatoprotective abilities.

Reishi is an all-purpose health tonic. Consumed as either tea or powder form, it helps support immune system health, digestive tract issues, heart health and blood sugar levels – and may even slow prostate cancer progression! Speak to your healthcare provider about adding Reishi into your daily regimen; they can assist in selecting an ideal form such as tea bags, powder or capsules to suit you best.

Anti-Histaminic

Ganoderma lucidum, more commonly known by its Chinese name “reishi mushroom”, or “lingzhi,” is an ancient and powerful herbal remedy known for acting as an immune modulator and nerve tonic, as well as providing powerful antioxidant protection that may prevent and treat various health issues.

Reishi mushrooms contain water-soluble polysaccharides, a class of carbohydrates comprised of multiple sugar molecules linked together through glycosidic bonds, that provide their health-promoting benefits. Boiling mushrooms in hot water extracts both soluble and insoluble components including (1-3)-a/b-glucans, a-D mannans, heteropolysaccharides, glycoproteins and other components including polysaccharides which have been shown to stimulate production of antigen-specific cells while decreasing inflammation. These polysaccharides have also been shown to stimulate production of antigen-specific cells as well as humoral immunity and cellular immunity thus increasing immunity while decreasing inflammation in experimental animals while decreasing inflammation.

Reishi contains polysaccharides as well as bioactive compounds like triterpenoids and peptides for anti-inflammatory benefits, with C30 isoprene units comprising triterpenoids such as Lucidenic acid, Acetyl Ganoderic acid and Aldehydes serving as triterpenoids responsible for its potential anti-inflammatory benefits.

Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms have also been proven to possess antidiabetic effects in experimental animals. Consuming reishi extract was shown to lower blood glucose levels and improve insulin sensitivity; these effects could be attributed to its various lignans as well as polysaccharides and a-D-mannans present within its extract.

Reishi can help regulate glucose and blood sugar, reduce inflammation, promote sleep, enhance immunity and even help to prevent cancer. Reishi may also boost energy and endurance while simultaneously relieving stress and anxiety as well as helping reduce cholesterol levels in the body – these benefits attributed to its abundance of essential vitamins such as C and beta-carotene as well as essential amino acids such as L-tryptophan which is known to help reduce histamine levels in the body.

Adaptogen

Reishi mushrooms (Ganoderma lucidum) have long been revered for their healing powers and have been used as part of traditional Chinese medicine for millennia. Reishi stands out as an exceptional mushroom species that offers numerous health benefits that support immunity, promote heart and liver health, lower blood pressure and more.

Reishi is an adaptogen and helps balance body and mind. Additionally, it serves as an effective immune modulator, nerve tonic and hormone balancer herb to nourish “Shen” (or body-mind-soul connection).

Reishi contains polysaccharides that protect against free radical damage and slow the aging process, increasing DNA stability, inhibiting oxidative stress and improving normal cell function. Studies have also revealed antiviral activity against herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2 as well as HIV, decreasing pain while speeding recovery time in those suffering from herpes genitalis.
