Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms are well known for their powerful health benefits, with both its mycelium and spores offering many healthful advantages. You can use Ganoderma powder in smoothies and juice recipes.

ORGANO’s premium organic Ganoderma is grown without interference in China’s Wuyi Mountains on logs, protected by a hard shell which must be carefully broken without crushing its delicate potency.

Organic Germanium

Germanium (Ge) is an element with the chemical symbol Ge and atomic number 32, found as a trace mineral in food and beverages. Germanium has long been recognized for stimulating immunity – specifically natural killer cell activity – as well as inhibiting cancer growth and promoting healing, its effectiveness being tied to oxygenating cells while restoring normal function among T-cells, B-lymphocytes and natural killer cells.

Germanium’s organic form can be utilized as an antibiotic and obtained through several sources, with bis(carboxyethylgermanium) sesquioxide (Ge-132) being the most prevalent. To make Ge-132, combine trichlorogermane with acrylic acid to produce 3-(trichlorogermyl)propanoic acid which then reacts with acetic acid to form Ge-132.

Other organic germanium compounds used include azaspirane, carboxyethyl germanium sesquioxide, geranyl-germanium sulfinate, hexane germanium selenide, hexadene germanium dimethyl selenide and poly(2-carboxyethyl)germanium selenide; also the salt complexes hexane-geranyl-germyl-geranyl phosphate and hexadene-germyl-geranyl-geranyl-geranyl-geranyl-geranyl pyrophosphate are utilized.

Organic germanium acts as both an immunostimulant and nutrition provider, stimulating natural killer cell activity while inhibiting cancer cell proliferation and inducing apoptosis in cancerous cells. Additionally, this compound may help decrease side effects associated with chemotherapy treatments.

Germanium has proven effective against various cancers, such as leukemia, lymphoma and melanoma. Studies have demonstrated how it can be combined with conventional chemotherapy and radiation therapies to dramatically increase tumor response rates, decrease spread of cancer and extend survival times. Combining Germanium with immuno-chemotherapy has proven highly successful at preventing the recurrence of cancer for those in advanced stages. Furthermore, Germanium therapy can also help reverse weight loss related to cancer therapy treatments while strengthening immunity; organic germanium does not pose any harmful side effects and is easily absorbed by the body, serving as a natural anti-oxidant that may benefit skin conditions as well as treating chronic fatigue, stress and insomnia.

Organic Polysaccharides

Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates composed of linked monosaccharide units. As one of the largest and most abundant groups of biopolymers, polysaccharides play numerous important roles within living organisms. Their composition can be classified according to origin, source and function; whether natural or synthetic. Polysaccharides have many applications within pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic industries as they boast unique biocompatibility and low toxicity properties that make them indispensable materials.

Natural polysaccharides can be found in all living organisms and consist of long chains of sugar molecules linked together. Their main functions range from energy storage (starch or glycogen) to structural components of cells and tissues. Homopolysaccharides typically feature one type of monosaccharide unit repeated multiple times; heteropolysaccharides contain two or more different monosaccharide units connected in various ways.

Polysaccharide structures can take many different forms. From straight or branched structures with positively and negatively charged regions to being either amorphous or crystalline depending on their monomer unit structure. Some are polyelectrolytes while others are non-ionic; polysaccharides can come from many sources including plants, animals and microorganisms.

Organic polysaccharides include cellulose, chitin, carrageenan and gum arabic – four widely recognized organic polysaccharides found in higher plant cell walls that give rigidity and strength, as well as serving to absorb water for absorption by these plants. Furthermore, polysaccharides can also be found within arthropod exoskeletons like crustaceans or insects.

Animal-derived polysaccharides include heparin, chitosan and hyaluronic acid. Heparin is an anticoagulant protein with anticoagulant and binding properties; while chitosan is a cationic polymer derived by deacetylation of chitin. Both materials have found wide application in cosmetic products due to their moisture retention capabilities and biocompatibility; in addition they offer therapeutic advantages including antiviral, antitumor and immunostimulant activity.

Organic Ganoderma Lucidum Spores

Ganoderma lucidum is a multi-porous macrofungus with an orange cap that looks like something out of Disney. It thrives in densely forested regions of Asia and typically grows on tree stumps – living or dead – within dense forests. The tiny spores contained within are only 4-6 microns in size. When consumed through cell wall breaking therapy, this barrier can be dismantled, making these microbes easier digestible by humans while increasing health benefits significantly.

Studies have demonstrated that Ganoderma Lucidum spores contain numerous bioactive compounds, such as polysaccharides, ergosterol, coumarin, organic acids, fatty acids, water-soluble proteins and other biologically active molecules. Of these biologically active molecules, polysaccharides have long been recognized for their antitumor, anticytopenia and immune stabilizing effects; while ergosterol boasts antioxidant activity. Other polysaccharides like Mannitol Glucosamine and polysaccharide alcohol all have proven to aiding treatment of various ailments.

Ganoderma lucidum’s lipids may also provide benefits, with particular reference to its rich source of the fatty acid lignoceric. Studies have demonstrated this fatty acid to have antitumor effects as well as reduced inflammation levels. Furthermore, this plant boasts high concentrations of monounsaturated fatty acids like oleic and palmitic acids for further health benefits.

Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms have long been utilized as medicine, dating back thousands of years in Chinese herbalism. One of its oldest medicinal applications was for stress, fatigue and poor immune system functions – yet another longstanding tradition that still applies today.

Ganoderma lucidum spores contain numerous bioactive compounds such as triterpenes and polysaccharides that provide its health-promoting effects, including fighting oxidative damage, reducing inflammation and aging, supporting weight loss efforts and aiding cancer treatments. Furthermore, these powerful substances feature antibacterial, viral and fungal activity for improving overall wellbeing.

Organic Ganoderma Lucidum Mycelium

Ganoderma lucidum, commonly referred to in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Lingzhi or Reishi mushroom, has also become widely popular worldwide as an effective health aid. Studies show it contains antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulating, hypoglycaemic effects as well as polysaccharides, triterpenes, and peptides with potential pharmacological activities that contribute to its effects.

Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrate compounds that form the major constituents of Ganoderma lucidum fruiting bodies and mycelium, providing an abundance of glucans and polyphenols associated with various health benefits, such as inhibiting oxidation chain reactions, decreasing lipid oxidation products, suppressing enzymes responsible for producing toxic compounds, etc.

Studies have repeatedly demonstrated the potent antioxidant properties of G. lucidum polysaccharide extracts. Freeze-dried G. lucidum extracts have superior activity compared to heat-dried versions due to higher levels of lucidenic acid and 12-acetyl ganoderic acid F found in freeze-dried samples.

G. lucidum contains germanium, an element with antimutagenic, antitumor, and immune-enhancing properties that is an excellent source of vitamins C, E and carotene. Furthermore, many proteins extracted from its spores and fruiting bodies display mitogenic activity alongside immunomodulatory and antiviral properties.

G. lucidum contains not only polysaccharides and triterpenes, but also numerous bioactive compounds with significant therapeutic potential such as polysaccharides and triterpenes; among these compounds are b-glucans, lucidenic acids, ganodermanondiols and lucidumol; these have been linked with cardiovascular benefits as well as antihypertensive, hypoglycaemic, and lipid-reducing activities.
