Botanical Source:The fruiting body of Ganoderma lucidum
(Leyss. ex Fr.) Karst. (Fam. Poloporaceae). Commonly known as
'Chizhi' (Red Glossy Ganoderma).
Active Ingredient: polysaccharide
Use Part: The fruiting body of the mushroom, growing on
basswood
Appearance: Dark Brown powder
Mesh size: *0 Mesh
Test Method: UV
Specification: Granoderma Polysaccharide *0%
Action: Lingzhi may possess anti-tumor, immunomodulatory and
immunotherapeutic activities, supported by studies on
polysaccharides, terpenes, and other bioactive compounds isolated
from fruiting bodies and mycelia of this fungus. It has also been
found to inhibit platelet aggregation, and to lower blood pressure
(via inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme), cholesterol, and
blood sugar.
Laboratory studies have shown anti-neoplastic effects of
fungal extracts or isolated compounds against some types of cancer,
including epithelial ovarian cancer.In an animal model, Ganoderma
has been reported to prevent cancer metastasis, with potency
comparable to Lentinan from Shiitake mushrooms.
G. lucidum extracts are already used in commercial
pharmaceuticals such as MC-S for suppressing cancer cell
proliferation and migration.Additional studies indicate that
ganoderic acid can help to strengthen the liver against liver
injury by viruses and other toxic agents in mice, suggesting a
potential benefit of this compound in the prevention of liver
diseases in humans,and Ganoderma-derived sterols inhibit lanosterol
*4α-demethylase activity in the biosynthesis of cholesterol .
Ganoderma compounds inhibit *-alpha reductase activity in the
biosynthesis of dihydrotestosterone.
Besides effects on mammalian physiology, Ganoderma is reported
to have anti-bacterial and anti-viral activities.Ganoderma is
reported to exhibit direct anti-viral with the following viruses;
HSV*1, HSV*2, influenza virus, vesicular stomatitis. Ganoderma
mushrooms are reported to exhibit direct anti-microbial properties
with the following organisms: Aspergillus niger, Bacillus cereus,
Candida albicans, and Escherichia coli.
