Red Reishi (Ganoderma Lucidum; Gano), commonly known as Ling Zhi in Chinese, a herbal mushroom known for it’s miraculous health benefits.
Benefits of Red Reishi:
- Non-toxic – can be taken daily without any side effects.
- When taken regularly can restore the body to its natural state, enabling all organs to function normally.
- Immune modulator – regulates and fine tunes the immune system.
According to researchers, water-soluble polysaccharides are the most active element found in Red Reishi that have anti-tumour, immune modulating and blood pressure lowering effects.
Triterpenes, also called ganoderic acids, are another major active ingredient found in Red Reishi. Preliminary studies indicated that ganoderic acids improve oxygen utilization and liver functions, as well as helps to alleviate common allergies by inhibiting histamine release. Being as triterpenes are bitter in taste, the level of the triterpene content contained in a product can be determined by the bitterness.
Red Reishi is also used to help treat anxiety, high blood pressure, hepatitis, bronchitis, insomnia, and asthma. Generally, it is recommended as an adaptogen, immune modulator, and a general tonic. Regular consumption can enhance our body’s immune system and improve blood circulation, thereby improving better health conditions.
