Ganoderma Polychromum: The Immortal Herb
Ganoderma, a revered genus of polypore fungi from the Ganodermataceae family, has been celebrated for its exceptional health benefits for centuries. Esteemed for its premium, non-toxic properties, Ganoderma’s fruiting body is highlighted in ancient texts and modern wellness practices for its ability to promote longevity and overall well-being without adverse effects, earning it the prestigious title of “Immortal Herb.”
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Ganoderma is known for its broad-spectrum benefits, supporting the function of the five internal organs and enhancing overall Qi (vital energy). It is particularly beneficial for individuals with weakened heart, lung, liver, spleen, or kidney functions. Ganoderma is also used to address various conditions affecting the respiratory, circulatory, digestive, nervous, endocrine, and motor systems. Its therapeutic advantages extend across multiple medical fields, including internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, gynecology, and otolaryngology (ENT). (Lin Zhibin.

Ganoderma Lucidum Fruiting Bodies
Ganoderma lucidum fruiting bodies are renowned for their comprehensive health benefits and are often utilized in both traditional and modern wellness practices. These fruiting bodies can be processed into powder or cut into pieces for versatile use. Commonly, they are prepared by cooking, soaking in water, or infusing with wine.
The Ganoderma cap is particularly valued for its rich content of bioactive compounds, including Ganoderma polysaccharides and triterpenoids such as Ganoderic acid. These compounds contribute to its potent health-promoting properties. In the production of Ganoderma-based products, the stipe (stem) is typically discarded, leading to a preference for Ganoderma caps without stipes among buyers seeking the highest quality and efficacy.
Ganoderma Lucidum Extract
Ganoderma lucidum extract is derived through a meticulous process involving both water and alcohol extraction from Ganoderma fruiting bodies. Due to its natural bitterness and susceptibility to oxidation and spoilage, it requires stringent storage conditions to maintain its efficacy.
The water extract of Ganoderma lucidum is rich in polysaccharides and peptides, offering a wide range of health benefits. These include supporting immune function, anti-tumor effects, protection against radiotherapy and chemotherapy-related damage, sedation, analgesia, cardiac stimulation, anti-myocardial ischemia, hypertension reduction, blood sugar regulation, lipid control, hypoxia tolerance, anti-oxidation, free radical neutralization, and anti-aging.
Ganoderma lucidum’s alcohol extract, particularly its triterpenoids, is known for its liver-protective properties. It also offers anti-tumor effects, analgesic benefits, anti-oxidation, free radical scavenging, histamine release inhibition, ACE activity inhibition, cholesterol synthesis reduction, and platelet aggregation prevention.

Why Ganoderma Spore Powder needs to be cell-wall broken?
Since the surface of the ganoderma spore has a double-layered hard shell, the active ingredients contained in the spore are wrapped inside and cannot be easily absorbed by the body. At present, there are several technologies of breaking the cell wall of ganoderma spore including bio-enzymatic, chemical and physical methods. The method with better results is low-temperature physical cell-wall breaking technology adopted by our company. It can achieve over 99% cell-wall breaking rate, which substantially enables the body to absorb and utilize the active ingredients of the spores.
What is Ganoderma Spore Powder?
Ganoderma spores are the powdery reproductive cells ejected from the cap of Ganoderma after the fruiting bodies become mature. Each spore is only 5-8 microns in diameter. The spore is rich in various bioactive substances such as Ganoderma polysaccharides, triterpenoids ganoderic acid and selenium.
Ganoderma Lucidum Spore Oil
Ganoderma lucidum spore oil is obtained by supercritical CO2 extraction of cell-wall broken Ganoderma lucidum spore powder. It is rich in triterpenoids ganoderic acid and unsaturated fatty acids and is the essence of Ganoderma lucidum spore powder.
Does Ganoderma spore powder taste bitter?
Pure Ganoderma spore powder is not bitter, and the fresh one exudes the unique aroma of Lingzhi. The compound spore powder to which Ganoderma extract powder is added has a bitter taste.
What is the difference between Ganoderma spore powder and Ganoderma fruiting body?
Ganoderma is a treasure of traditional Chinese medicine. The fruiting body of Ganoderma contains very rich polysaccharides, triterpenoids, proteins and various trace elements. The cell-wall broken Ganoderma spore powder is made with modern biotechnology to break the cell-wall of spores. It is processed under aseptic and low-temperature conditions to maintain the biological activity of active ingredients such as polysaccharides, peptides, amino acids and triterpenoids of Ganoderma spore powder. The content of triterpenoids in the cell-wall broken Ganoderma spore powder is higher, and the Ganoderma fruiting body after water extraction is rich in Ganoderma polysaccharides. Ganoderma spore and extract compound has better effects.
