Lingzhi, a
traditional Chinese medicine. Dried fruiting bodies of the porous fungal family
#Ganoderma Lucidum (Leyss. ex Fr.) .
The edible and medicinal history of
Ganoderma lucidum in China can be traced back to the pre Qin period, approximately
2500 years ago.
According to the “Compendium of Materia
Medica”, Ganoderma lucidum can enter organs and systems such as the heart,
liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, and can regulate the physiological functions
of the human body, enhancing immunity. Modern medical research has found that
Ganoderma lucidum contains various active ingredients such as #polysaccharides,
nucleosides, sterols, alkaloids, triterpenoids, oils, various amino acids, and
proteins etc., which have various effects on regulating immunity,
antioxidation, anti-aging, etc. It has been widely recognized by the
international academic community
#Ganoderma triterpenoids have the effects and benefits of promoting blood circulation,
enhancing immunity, and fighting cancer.
1. Promote blood circulation
Ganoderma triterpenoids are a class of
triterpenoid compounds found in Ganoderma lucidum, which belong to highly
oxidized lanostane derivatives and are one of the main chemical and
pharmacological components of Ganoderma lucidum. Ganoderma triterpenoids can
promote metabolism, improve blood circulation, and prevent arteriosclerosis and
other blood circulation disorders.
2. Enhance immunity
Ganoderma triterpenoids are mainly
distributed in the peripheral part of Ganoderma lucidum fruiting bodies.
Ganoderma triterpenoids can promote lymphocyte proliferation, enhance the
phagocytic ability and killing power of macrophages, NK cells, and T cells,
thereby achieving the effect of enhancing immunity.
3. Fight against cancer
Ganoderma triterpenoids, as adjuvant
therapy for tumor radiotherapy and chemotherapy, can improve the cachexia of
tumor patients, promote bone marrow hematopoietic function, enhance physical
fitness, and strengthen the body's anti-tumor immunity
Application:
Ganoderma polysaccharides and triterpenoids,
as food grade additives, are widely used in food, beverages, and health
products to enhance their nutritional value.
