HEALTHCODE Ganoderma Lucidum Soft Capsule

EXPLORING THE POTENTIAL MEDICINAL BENEFITS OF GANODERMA LUCIDUM:

Ganoderma, a genus of mushrooms known for its long history of medicinal use.
This Healthcode product review selves into the bioactive compounds found in Ganoderma and elucidates the intricate mechanisms underlying its immunomodulatory and anti-tumour activities.

The diverse health-promoting effects of Ganoderma can be attributed to its decadent array of bioactive compounds, notably polysaccharides, and triterpenoids, which play a pivotal role.

The ability of the mushroom to modulate the immune system, enhancing the activity of immune cells, such as natural killer cells and macrophages, is a central focus.

THE WONDERS OF GANODERMA LUCIDUM

THE BIOACTIVE COMPONENT OF GANODERMA LUCIDUM

Ganoderma lucidum contains a variety of biologically active components, such as polysaccharides, triterpenes, flavonoids, alkaloids, steroids, unsaturated fatty acids, proteins, amino acids, enzymes, vitamins, and minerals. Among these, the therapeutic properties of Ganoderma lucidum have primarily been attributed to its polysaccharides and triterpenoids.

Ganoderma lucidum — more commonly known as reishi mushroom — is a bitter mushroom, used for thousands of years in Traditional Chinese Medicine in the treatment of multiple ailments.

Called the "mushroom of immortality," it's an adaptogen, which assists the body in adapting to both mental and physical stress. Both the caps and the stems of ganoderma contain a substance called beta-glucans, which boosts the immune system.

What Is Ganoderma?

Ganoderma lucidum is a large, woody and tough mushroom used for various herbal remedies. More commonly known as reishi or lingzhi, this mushroom may have beneficial effects on the immune system, cardiovascular system and prostate gland.

Below are key benefits of Ganoderma Lucidum;

Blood pressure

Immune system

Anti-inflammatory properties

Prostate health
 

Cardiovascular system

Diabetes
 

Hepatitis B

Clogged arteries

Chronic fatigue syndrome

Liver function

Alzheimer's Disease

Various types of cancers

Immune System Stimulant

Ganoderma extract may stimulate production of various types of white blood cells that help prevent and fight against infection. While it's not recommended as a first line of defense for cancer treatment, it may help boost immune response.

Health Benefits of Ganoderma

More and more individuals are working to reduce the amount of medications they take or looking for more holistic or complementary methods of treatment. 
 

1. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) have symptoms of frequent urges to urinate, nighttime urination, decreased urinary flow and incomplete bladder emptying.

 Immune System Stimulant

Ganoderma extract may stimulate production of various types of white blood cells that help prevent and fight against infection. While it's not recommended as a first line of defense for cancer treatment, it may help boost immune response.

A 2016 Cochrane Review of the use of ganoderma for cancer treatment found that cancer patients who were taking the extract were more likely to respond to their treatment. They also found those same patients had a stimulation in their immune response.

 Anti-Inflammatory Properties

Many plant based therapies are successful in their treatment against inflammatory ailments, such as cancer, diabetes, and obesity because of the anti-inflammatory compounds they contain.

Researchers found ganoderma extract to exhibit anti-inflammatory effects against cancer cells in a 2017 study published in Nutrients. The positive effects of ganoderma against inflammation and cancer is thought to be due to triterpenoids and polysaccharides, two compounds in the mushroom, with the polysaccharides having the greatest effect on the inflammatory response.
 

Fatigue Fighter

Chronic fatigue can be caused by both physical and psychological stressors. The triterpenoids and polysaccharides in ganoderma responsible for its antioxidant activity also play an active role in its ability to fight fatigue.

A 2017 review study published in BioMed Research International indicated that ganoderma may work to decrease fatigue during exercise and increase swimming endurance by limiting lactic acid accumulation. The researchers also point to adenosine, a component of ganoderma, which can decrease the thickness of the blood and improve the capacity of the blood to carry oxygen throughout the body, which may provide more energy.

Diabetes

It is possible that ganoderma polysaccharides may help with blood glucose control, associated with diabetes. Researchers published in 2004 in the International Journal of Medicinal Mushrooms used the polysaccharide extract from ganoderma on human subjects with type 2 diabetes over 12 weeks and found it was effective in lowering blood glucose levels.

And a 2016 review in South African Pharmaceutical Journal concluded in its findings that ganoderma appears to be effective for lowering blood sugar which may either prevent or help in the treatment course of type 2 diabetes.
