Ganoderma is a hard, bitter-tasting mushroom that took root in traditional Chinese medicine to promote health and wellness. Proponents claim that Ganoderma can fight fatigue, control cholesterol levels, prevent hypertension, relieve inflammation, build stamina and strengthen the immune system. Ganoderma has become a popular natural remedy used only as a medicinal mushroom.
Ganoderma Research
Ganoderma shows promise in reducing cholesterol levels and easing allergy-related inflammation of the airways, according to preliminary evidence from animal-based studies. Here’s a look at more of the science behind Ganoderma’s beneficial effects.
1) Cancer and the Immune System
Often used as an immune stimulant by people with cancer (as well as HIV), Ganoderma has been shown to increase immunity as well as fight against cancer-cell proliferation. In a 2003 study of 34 people with advanced-stage cancer, for example, taking Ganoderma in supplement form showed an increase of three times the immune defense of those that did not take Ganoderma.
Also, lab tests on breast cancer cells found that a combination of Ganoderma extracts and green tea heightens the mushroom’s ability to slow cancer-cell growth.
2) Antioxidant Benefits
Several studies have suggested that regular use of Ganoderma supplements may increase your levels of antioxidants, including compounds widely thought to protect against sickness and signs of aging.
3) Relief of Urinary Tract Symptoms
In a 2008 study of 88 men with urinary tract symptoms, researchers found that Ganoderma was significantly superior to placebo in providing symptom relief.
