Organo Gold Mycelium Ganoderma Lucidum
ORGANO’s organic Ganoderma product contains over 95% open spores as opposed to competing companies’ plastic bag harvesting techniques.
Ganoderma mushrooms spores, which are very delicate, can only be obtained during their natural lifecycle and collected with brushes. Their fine powder resembles that of baby powder.
What is Ganoderma Lucidum?
Ganoderma Lucidum, also known as Reishi or Lingzhi in Chinese culture, has long been used as part of traditional Asian medicine to promote wellness and vitality as well as strengthen immunity in humans.
Ganoderma (or Ganoderma) is one of most commonly used mushrooms in modern medicine. It is primarily used as an immunostimulant, but also as a booster for the immune system due to its antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Furthermore, this mushroom can directly stimulate human natural killer cell activity thereby increasing their activity levels and stimulating them directly.
Ganoderma is also known to have anti-depressant and analgesic properties. It has been used to treat hepatitis, pneumonia, and other infectious diseases. It also acts as an immune modulator and has been used in treating fibromyalgia.
Reishi mushrooms, which are part of the Ganodermataceae (basidiomycetes) family, have been used by Traditional Chinese Medicines for centuries to improve health and longevity. Reishi extract is a mixture of bioactive compounds, including polysaccharides (polysaccharides), triterpenes (triterpenes) and proteins that have a range of biological effects, including antiinflammatory, immunomodulatory, and diabetes treatment1. Studies have also indicated that Ganoderic Acid A might exert various biological effects, including anti-inflammatory treatment, immunomodulation and diabetes treatment1.
Reishi mushrooms form a major component of many natural products, especially those produced and distributed in Japan. Reishi mushrooms have been widely used for centuries as traditional medicines and in skincare and food products.
Reishi is a powerful immune stimulant that contains over 100 oxygenated triterpenes. It has been studied for its ability to stimulate natural killer cell activity and boost overall immunity. Reishi is also antiviral, antiinflammatory, and wound-healing. It also reduces liver oxidative stress. Reishi has also been shown to protect rats against radiation-induced and chemotherapy-induced toxicities.
How is Ganoderma Lucidum produced?
Ganoderma, also known as red reishi or “red reishi”, is one of many species. This bracket or shelf mushroom has a beautiful reddish brown color and can grow up to 40 inches long, 4 inches wide and up to 4 inches thick. This adaptogenic fungus is cultivated to provide healing benefits. Ganoderma alone has over 400 varieties, with applanatum (for medicinal purposes) and lucidum (for aesthetic purposes).
Ganoderma, commonly referred to as Reishi or Ganoderma in East Asian cultures, is a polypore fungus belonging to the Polyporales order of basidiomycota that has long been grown for its health-strengthening and immune-enhancing properties. Reishi has many benefits, including reducing stress, extending longevity and increasing sexual vigilance. This reishi formulation combines powder, capsules and the extract forms.
This study was designed to establish the optimal growth parameters of G. lucidum on potato dextrose (PDA) slants and plates. Our results showed that mycelial proliferation increased as the incubation temperature increased until it reached 30degC, whereupon a peak was reached and then decreased over time.
Worldwide, medicinal mushrooms are valued for their positive effects on health. Ganoderma is a popular variety of medicinal mushrooms that has been valued by many for years. It’s known for its numerous health benefits, and is often referred to the king or red of medicinal mushrooms because of its reddish colour and numerous health benefits.
Reishi (in Chinese) is used to treat conditions like hypertension, insomnia and other diseases. The fungus is rich in active compounds, such as polysaccharides (polysaccharides) and triterpenes (triterpenes), which may contribute towards its medicinal qualities.
Reishi mushroom grows best on hardwoods such as oak, beech, birch or alder trees. However, they can also grow wild along hedges and parkwaysides. Reishi has been used as medicine for over 4000 years as it is recognized for its health-strengthening, anti-inflammatory and immune-supportive qualities as well as being rich in minerals such as iron potassium and zinc.
Why is Ganoderma Lucidum a good thing?
Ganoderma Lucidum has been widely recognized for its immune enhancing and antioxidant properties. This is especially true of its polysaccharide -glucans. This powerful medicinal plant also helps protect against free radicals.
Maca, as an adaptogen, is a powerful source of balance and comfort during stressful times, thanks to the beta-glucans that it contains. Beta-glucans boost immune functions, while also promoting circulation health.
Reishi (also known as Rei Sheng in Japanese) is widely believed by many to have anti-inflammatory and endurance-enhancing properties. It also helps with fatigue, depression and improves sleep quality.
Ganoderma lucidum can help lower cholesterol by way of its rich supply of peptides that can reduce both blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels, as well as polysaccharides like triterpenes and beta-glucans that contain triterpenes and beta-glucans to decrease LDL (bad) and increase HDL (good) levels.
Both forms of G. lucidum (ethanolic and soluble in water) contain many of same beneficial components as water-soluble extracts. However, because ethanolic extracts are unable to separate polysaccharides and triterpenes from each other for maximum effectiveness, it is best to take both together for maximum benefit.
Studies have shown that G. Lucidum can inhibit adipocytes differentiation and produce hypoglycaemic effect, as well promote immune function to enhance resistance against diseases. Reishi is rich in polysaccharides. These have also been proven to be effective.
Ganoderma lucidum is an exceptional mushroom because it grows in special conditions. One kilogram of product must be harvested from 1,000kg worth of spores to make one kg! Furthermore, collecting the spores without breaking them requires special techniques. It is therefore one of most expensive supplements in the market. ORGANO has perfected a process that allows you to enjoy all the health benefits of Reishi through our organic supplements.
What is a good way to take Ganodermalucidum?
Water-soluble Ganoderma Lucidum Extracts can maximize the benefits. Water-soluble extracts are less concentrated than ethanolic ones, but they retain more of the beneficial compounds. They are also easier to digest.
Our water-soluble Reishi Extract combines three components: spores (which support immune health), mycelium (which connects them together) and the lucidum-cap to create a powerful blend with unique health benefits. Each part is unique and offers health benefits. For instance, spores provide high concentrations in antioxidants to support immunity while mycelium forms a network that connects cells and has antibacterial antifungal and even antiviral properties.
Reishi mushrooms have many uses. Some people include it in their cooking directly, while others consume powdered supplements and capsules that contain it. It has proven to treat a range of different conditions from cancer, high blood-pressure and arthritis to chronic fatigue syndrome and cancer.
Reishi increases energy levels, lowers cholesterol levels and protects the heart. Studies have also shown that its benefits can relieve anxiety and depression. Reishi’s Polysaccharides are immunostimulatory and promote the proliferation T and B lymphocytes and splenic monocytes. They also stimulate natural killer (NK), dendritic and splenic cells.
Organo Gold‘s natural approach to mushroom cultivation results in more beneficial Ganoderma spores for use in its Poudre de Spores Ganoderma product, making the mushrooms much rarer and valued than those grown using plastic bags. Our Ganoderma spores, which look similar to fine rice powder and can only be harvested during their natural lifecycle of mushroom reproduction and cannot be reproduced through artificial means. It takes 1,000kg to produce 1 kilogram of Reishi Mushrooms used in our Poudre de Spores Ganoderma.
