The following is the list of species of the genus Gannoderma Lucidum.
Known as Ganoderma, it is the famous Reishi (Japanese name) Ling Zhi Chinese name, with the scientific name Gaoderma Lucidum. A fungus originating in China that has now spread around the world is revered and considered in Ayurvedic medicine but not only as miraculous, and it really is!
This variety of Reishi has been cultivated in Asia for us, in symbiosis with the chestnut, from which it grows directly from its courtyard, to about a man's height, with a special technique, just harvested it was dried at 40° to preserve all its components and make it aseptic, naturally and with so much love, it is not cut and nothing has been added.
Not by chance is its form of kidney, which identifies the expulsion of the negative and the energy and physical cleansing.
Ganoderma is rich in many pharmacologically important compounds that act synergistically:
It's a medicinal mushroom of Chinese origin, used for centuries in China, Japan and Korea as an elixir of health and longevity, so well deserving of the reputation of "immortality mushroom".
The properties of the Other, including: The use of anti-cancer, immunostimulating, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hypoglycaemic, hypolipid and hypotensive drugs is supported by well-known scientific research.
But there are many more that we will list more specifically below.
One thing to be aware of, however, is that most of the extracts and preparations based on Reishi on the market do not actually contain the fruiting body of the fungus (the most valuable part) but only the mycelium, which in the case of cultivated fungi is very poor in its related active ingredients and medicinal components.
This proposal is complete and dried for the processing of its active ingredients, as well as for its preservation, and is not to be consumed as food, but only as medicine, with the right doses.
From a structural point of view, the Ganoderma or Reishi red is distinguished by the circular red hat with a light edge, tending to a bright yellow if young and opaque if mature, which can reach 15 centimetres (cm) in diameter. The stem is vertical or oblique, up to 30 cm long, nodular and shiny. The pulp is elastic and coriaceous, with a pleasant tannic smell and a woody taste.

Owner of Ganoderma
The dry extract of Ganoderma Lucidum contains about 400 bioactive compounds, including:
Ganoderma or Reishi is an Official Mushroom, used in various traditional oriental medical techniques; the active ingredients of Ganoderma or Reishi are:
- β-glucan polysaccharides and ether-β-glucans, known anti-tumor and immunostimulating molecules
- Proteins called Ling Zhi-8 (LZ-8), anti-allergic peptides,
- Cholesterol-hypotensives and
- Ganoderic acids (triterpenes), sterols that reduce allergic reactions by limiting histamine production, optimizing cellular respiration and promoting liver function.
Ganoderma or Reishi is a class of closely related triterpeneids (derived from lanosterol) found in Ganoderma fungi.
- It has anti-tumor activity thanks to glucan polysaccharides
- It is a stimulant of the body's immune defenses and is therefore particularly useful in situations of immune imbalance.
- It has an anti-allergic action, limiting histamine production by oleic and ganoderic acids.
- It has a hypotensive effect on the body due to the presence of specific specific proteins, which are valid against cholesterol buildup.8
- It contains essential minerals such as sulphur, iron, calcium and phosphorus, which are necessary for the overall health of the organism.
- It also has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects due to its vitamin C and E content.
- It reduces stress and feelings of fatigue.
- Antimicrobial, antiviral (e.g. against Herpes and HIV) and antifungal
- Anti-inflammatory
- Antihistamine (histamine receptors are responsible for stomach acid production and allergic reactions, for example)
- Antiperspirant (for lowering pressure values)
- Hypolypeptidemizing agent (cholesterol lowering effect)
- Anti-diabetic (against high blood sugar levels typical of diabetes)
- Antioxidant (action against free radicals)
- Antiaging (anti-aging effect)
- Anti-cancer (anti-tumour effect)
- Immunostimulant (stimulation of the immune system)

In addition
ANTI-TUMOUR EFFECTS
Part of the anti-tumor effects of reishi are due to the action of polysaccharides on immune function, which is complemented by DNA polymerase inhibition and post-translational modification of oncoproteins.
The high germanium content may also contribute to this pharmacological action.
Chemical and radio-preventive effects
Reishi has been shown to increase the resistance of caves to γ radiation by containing damage to thymus and splenocytes.
In morphine-dependent mice, administration of a polysaccharide isolated from reishi returned to normal several immunological values depressed by chemical toxicity.
HYPOLIPIDEMIC AND HYPOGLYCAEMIC EFFECTS
Several animal studies have demonstrated the hypoglycemic and polypolic properties of reishi.
The administration of a reishi extract for 2 months in 8 diabetic patients was indeed comparable to that of the controls given insulin (100 IU = ml for 60 days) and oral hypoglycaemic medicines (250 mg/ day for 60 days).
HEPATOPROTECTIVE EFFECTS
Reishi was taken for 6 months in 52 patients with chronic hepatitis B, restoring normal amino transferase levels in 33% of patients and completely eliminating antigens in 13%.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY EFFECTS
Reishi extracts have been shown to have significant anti-inflammatory effects comparable to conventional diclofenac in acute and chronic inflammatory patterns.
ANTI-ALLERGIC EFFECTS
Reishi is able to restore the normal balance of cytokines TH1 and TH2 in patients with allergic reactions.
ANTIANDROGENIC AND OESTROGENIC EFFECTS
Reishi has androgenic and estrogenic effects useful for treating several conditions including benign prostatic hyperplasia and osteoporosis.
ANTIHERPETIC EFFECTS
Reishi is a potent inhibitor of herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2.
ANTIOXIDANT EFFECTS
Reishi inhibits lipid peroxidation and has a powerful free radical removal action.
[24].
ANTIBACTERIAL EFFECTS
Reishi extracts are active against several types of positive and negative gram bacteria including Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella oxytoca and Helicobacter pylori.
ANTI-ULCER EFFECTS
Reishi's polysaccharides protect the gastric mucosa and promote repair by suppressing TNF-a and inducing the c-myc and ODC genes.
HYPOTENSIVE EFFECTS
In a double-blind study of 54 patients with stage 2 primary hypertension who had not responded positively to conventional treatment (catopril 25 mg or nomodipine 3 times/ day), reishi improved systemic blood pressure by 82.5% in just 14 days of treatment.
There are different ways to do this and different forms and solutions.
We do not recommend commercial bottles because 90% of the contained in it is mycelium and not the essence of the raw material, and it is contained in everything and not the caps containing the active ingredients, and it has not been properly stored and is peeled more since it has a process of exicaturation
How much?
This is specifically dried whole, but you can find it in us in powdered forms and in mother tint.
In its dry form the whole can be taken up by 6 grams a dayIf there are any ongoing diseases or problems to be solved you can increase up to 10 g
If you have a decomposition, you can increase the ino to 30 grams in case of serious diseases.
Since you can take it for life without contraindications (read below) in this case, 3 grams a day is enough for prevention.
What's that?
In its whole dried form, it is best to use it in hot water solutions (not boiled, but only immersed and not too hot to spoil the active ingredients (even better if half an hour before taking vitamin C) which helps to trigger its beneficial process
Soak it in a cup like a stew (cover it with a lid or a plate) or like a tea, leaving it to act for half an hour, then making sure to drink all the liquids it contains.
It's a bit bitter, but it's not mandatory.
If it is put in the freezer 24 hours before (with some distilled water (hermetically closed) an empty bag or a watertight container (by making sure that the water used is recovered and done as written above, this weakens the walls and produces a product that is richer in active ingredients.
But it's not impossible to take it by leaving it in the dough for 24 hours in a squeeze of orange, in a glass bottle (in this case 10 grams and drink it in a syrup the next day)
When?
The best time is on an empty stomach, even better in the morning, making sure you don't eat for at least an hour.
How long before the first results?
It takes two months to see the first improvements, as most remedies of this kind) but in the long run if you also exercise good nutrition and good spirituality you can achieve amazing results.According to American Herbal Pharmacopoeia, Reishi is indicated among the class 1 herbs, this means that it can be safely consumed by healthy individuals, provided appropriately. Although in literature no known side effects are reported, The most sensitive individuals may manifest symptoms such as For the same reason It is considered a super "vegetable herb" Literary gastric disorders Diarrea Rash cutaneous Normal effees of detoxification that may also be dizziness, headaches and digstive disorders
These will check at the beginning and pass within a week or so. Clearly, there are rare cases of people who are alergical to all mushrooms and clearly here we are talking about a fungus Mr.! Medline Plus recommends caution in case of concurrent intake of Antidiabetic Antihypertensive Anti-Agulations
The earliest written references to the fungus date back to Shennong Materia medica, 100 BC, the first pharmacological text that collected the experience of ancient Chinese doctors from 2000 years earlier.
The Reishi was also a major figure in Chinese art: from the first emperor, Shing-Hiang, of the Chin Dynasty (221-207 BC) to the Chinese Yuan Dynasty (1280-1368 AD) he was depicted in paintings, jade sculptures, furniture and carpets. [1,2].
The Reishi grows spontaneously in the forests, attached to the trunk of plants: Oak, Acer, Betulla, Frassino, Magnolia form its natural habitat; rarer is found on conifers (Larice, Pinus); in the east it is found on plum trees.
The limited availability of the fungus has made it long accessible only to the wealthiest families. Since the 1970s, however, it has been successfully cultivated artificially as well, and since the 1980s, production has grown exponentially, especially in China and the United States in the tropical, subtropical and temperate areas. Today, commercially available mushrooms come almost entirely from crops.
