The healing effects of the extract are believed to be a result of this exceptional mushroom substance containing complex carbohydrates called triterpeniods as well as a litany of amino acids, proteins, polysaccharides and triterpenes [or ganoderic acids]. This is quite an impressive list of ingredients in a single extract and little wonder it has been featured by traditional Chinese medicine practitioners for so long.
Ganoderic acids mimic antihistamines within our body and really do assist those suffering from allergens. Triterpenes leave a harsh taste in the mouth which has an effect on the extract as a whole; however, the antihistamine efficiency is rated based on the amount of bitterness. Ganoderma extract is a singularly extraordinary product and is still referred to in some regions as the king of herbs. It has a positive effect on the functioning of the liver that helps to detoxify by ridding the body of toxicity more efficiently

Combined effect of green tea and Ganoderma lucidum on invasive behavior of breast cancer cells.

January 20, 2010

Cancer Research Laboratory, Methodist Research Institute, E504, Indianapolis, IN 46202, USA.

Epidemiological studies have suggested that consumption of green tea may decrease the risk of a variety of cancers. In addition, mushroom Ganoderma lucidum has been used for the promotion of health, longevity and treatment of cancer in traditional Chinese medicine.

In the present study we show that extract from green tea (GTE) increased the anticancer effect of G. lucidum extract (GLE) on cell proliferation (anchorage-dependent growth) as well as colony formation (anchorage-independent growth) of breast cancer cells. This effect was mediated by the down-regulation of expression of oncogene c-myc in MDA-MB-231 cells.

Although individual GTE and GLE independently inhibited adhesion, migration and invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells, their combination demonstrated a synergistic effect, which was mediated by the suppression of secretion of urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) from breast cancer cells.

On Ling Zhi (Ganoderma, Reishi Mushroom)

January 19, 2010

Ling Zhi is somewhat of a subject of legends. The Ling Zhi mushroom shape can be found embedded into Chinese palace architecture and art, and there are myths of Ling Zhi mushrooms guarded by snakes and tigers, found only by sages. People even say that Qin Shi-Huang, the first Chinese emperor, was obsessed with immortality and sought after Ling Zhi as part of the secret (I can't vouch for the academic validity of these tales, but popular lay books on Reishi say such things). Was Ling Zhi really that prized and hard to get back in the day? It seems hard to imagine that Ling Zhi was that rare and coveted, given that wild Ling Zhi is still widely available (albeit expensive) and items like wild ginseng and cordyceps that are virtually unattainable today were much easier to come by in the past ...

The whole mushroom is difficult to slice and it is somewhat arduous to extract. It is rich in polysaccharides and should be extracted in water, but it has a somewhat terrible flavor and doesn't extract very well unless it is first sliced with specialized equipment (you could easily lose a finger trying to slice it with a big chopper and slicing with a knife would be impossible) ...
