Also called Reishi or Ling Chih, it is known traditionally as the "mushroom of immortality" and the "Great Protector." Research shows it significantly enhances the immune system. Ganoderma increases the body's resistance in a variety of ways from helping to prevent colds, flus and allergies, to providing useful adjunctive treatments for AIDS and cancer. Ganoderma has a mild diuretic action that assists the removal of metabolic waste, making it useful in weight loss and arthritis treatment. It also increases blood circulation, protecting the heart, and helps relieve insomnia and nervousness.
Expert extraction & processing: It is easy to take shortcuts when preparing mushroom extracts. The mushroom cell wall (chitin) is indigestible to humans and requires expert preparation in order to be broken down so the medicinal compounds become optimally available. Ganoderma has to be boiled for 24 hours to break down the cell wall and make the medicinal compounds available. Similar expertise is applied to all our medicinal mushroom products, to ensure their highest effectiveness.
