Ganoderma Mushroom Extract Polysaccharides

Brief Introduction

Reishi mushroom is a fungus that some people describe as “woody” and “tough”  with a bitter taste. The fruiting body (above-ground part) and mycelium (filaments connecting a group of mushrooms) are used as medicine.

Reishi mushroom is used for boosting the immune system; viral infections such as the flu (influenza), swine flu, and avian flu; lung conditions including asthma and bronchitis; heart disease and contributing conditions such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol; kidney disease; cancer; and liver disease. It is also used for HIV/AIDS, altitude sickness, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), trouble sleeping (insomnia), stomach ulcers, poisoning, and herpes pain. Other uses include reducing stress and preventing fatigue.

In combination with other herbs, reishi mushroom is used to treat prostate cancer

Main Functions

Reishi may possess some anti-tumor, immunomodulatory and immunotherapeutic activities, supported by some studies on polysaccharides,terpenes, and other bioactive compounds isolated from mycelia and fruiting bodies of this fungus.

A number of laboratory studies have shown anti-neoplastic effect of fungal extracts or isolated compounds against some types of cancer.

The mechanisms by which G. lucidum may affect cancer are unknown and may target different areas of cancer development: inhibition ofangiogenesis (formation of arterial vessels within the tumour) mediated by cytokines, cytoxicity, inhibiting migration of the cancer cells andmetastasis, and inducing and enhancing apoptosis of tumor cells.

Variation between preparations and potential negative side effects cannot be ruled out. G. lucidum' extracts may be adaptogenic, anti-allergenic and anti-hypertensive due to the presence of triterpenes. Apart from these properties, Reishi has been found to be anti-inflammatory, antiviral, anti-parasitic, anti-fungal, antidiabetic, anti-hypotensive, and protective of the liver. It has also been found to inhibit platelet aggregation, and to lower blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar.

Reishi may act as a blood pressure stabilizer, antioxidant, analgesic, a kidney and nerve tonic. It has been used in bronchitis prevention and in cardiovascular treatment, and in the treatment of high triglycerides, high blood pressure, hepatitis, allergies, chemotherapy support, HIVsupport, and fatigue and altitude sickness.

Some peer-reviewed studies indicate that ganoderic acid has some protective effects against liver injury by viruses and other toxic agents in mice, suggesting a potential benefit of this compound in the treatment of liver diseases in humans.

Several species of Ganoderma have been used in traditional Asian medicines for thousands of years. Collectively, the Ganoderma are being investigated for a variety of potential therapeutic benefits.
