For a healthy person, is there a difference between eatingGanoderma lucidum and not eatingGanoderma lucidum? Or from another angle, do people in good health need to eatGanoderma lucidum?
En février 2017, a research team led by Professor Chin-Kun Wang from Chung Shan Medical University published a clinical research report in “Pharmaceutical Biology”, which is worthy of our reference.
The Ganoderma lucidum capsules used in this study each have a net weight of 225 mg, and the content isGanoderma lucidum fruiting body extract, which contains 7% of ganoderic acids (including ganoderic acid A, B, C, C5, C6, D, E and G) et 6% polysaccharide peptides. The content of the placebo capsule is 90% starch and 10%Ganoderma lucidum extract residue, which looks exactly like theGanoderma lucidum capsule.
The researchers recruited 42 volunteers (22 men and 20 women) aged 40 à 54 who were in good overall health except for a few who had a higher GOT or GPT or mild fatty liver or gallbladder polyp.
They were divided into two groups for a “double-blind crossover test”: one group took a placebo, and the other group tookGanoderma lucidum capsules (1 capsule a day after lunch or dinner) for six months. After that, all subjects entered the “washout period” (no placebo orGanoderma lucidum). One month later, those who tookGanoderma lucidum changed to placebo, and those who took placebo changed toGanoderma lucidum. Both lasted for six months.
Ganoderma lucidum enhances antioxidant capacity.
With this experimental design, the difference between “eatingGanoderma lucidum” and “eating placebo” can be observed successively in the same subject. À la fin, a total of 39 people completed the test. It was found that there were no significant differences in height, weight, body fat and body mass index (BMI) of the subjects regardless of whether they were takingGanoderma lucidum or placebo.
Cependant, the data measured from the subjects’ blood shows that eatingGanoderma lucidum for half a year can significantly increase the Trolox-equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC), as well as the content and activity of antioxidant enzymes, and significantly reduce the oxidative damage to cell membranes and DNA; In contrast, placebo did not bring much change (see the table below).
The antioxidant enzymes in red blood cells are also an important indicator of the body’s antioxidant capacity-red blood cells responsible for transporting oxygen molecules are the most vulnerable to oxidative damage, and their defense mechanisms are even more important. Experimental results also show thatGanoderma lucidum can greatly increase the content of various antioxidant enzymes in red blood cells (see the table below).

Ganoderma lucidum helps protect the liver.
En outre, Ganoderma lucidum reduced the subjects’ average GOT and GPT by 42% et 27%, respectively. Abdominal ultrasound also showed that the symptoms of three subjects who had initial fatty liver or gallbladder polyp almost restored to normal after being treated withGanoderma lucidum (as shown in the figure below).
Picture (UN), Picture (B), Picture (C) are the abdominal ultrasonography photos of subjects No. 10, Non. 19 and No. 36, respectively. The former two have mild fatty liver, and the latter has gallbladder polyp. After eatingGanoderma lucidum for six months, the original symptoms were almost invisible from the ultrasound pictures of the abdomen (picture (D), picture (E), picture (F) in order).

Ganoderma lucidum upgrades health.
The above results indicate thatGanoderma lucidum can enhance anti-oxidation, improve liver function and repair liver damage in healthy people. Since “oxidation” is one of the sources of “aging”, the results of this study also have anti-aging significance.
Let us see how muchGanoderma lucidum these subjects ate. Just one capsule per day! As long as you continue to consume a small amount (225 mg) deGanoderma lucidum extract, you can improve your already good health. Why not? It’s definitely more economical than askingGanoderma lucidum for help after getting sick. Of course, the premise is that the Ganoderma lucidum you eat must be at least as rich in triterpenes and polysaccharides as theGanoderma lucidum used in this clinical trial!
