Ganoderma lucidum inhibe la croissance des tumeurs transplantées chez la souris principalement en renforçant l'immunité anti-tumorale, inhiber l'angiogenèse tumorale, and inhibiting tumor immune escape.
3. Sedative hypnotic effect, analgesic effect
Ganoderma lucidum can be effective for the prevention and treatment of disease models such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease through its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant mechanisms.

4. Antitussive, antiasthmatique, effets anti-inflammatoires et anti-allergiques
Ganoderma lucidum can prevent and treat allergic rhinitis, bronchite chronique, allergic tracheoalveolitis and airway hyperresponsiveness in animal models through immune regulation and anti-inflammatory mechanisms.
5. The effect of lowering blood pressure, regulating blood fat and protecting the heart
Ganoderma lucidum peut abaisser la tension artérielle, reduce serum total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein, increase high-density lipoprotein, and protect vascular endothelial cells.
6. The effect of regulating endocrine and remitting diabetes

Ganoderma lucidum can improve the immune function weakened by aging.Ganoderma lucidum can resist oxidation and scavenge free radicals, protect against the oxidative stress damage of the heart, cerveau, foie, rate, peau et autres organes et tissus causés par le vieillissement, and improve learning and memory impairments caused by aging.
10. Effet antiviral
En inhibant l'adsorption et la pénétration virales, Ganoderma lucidum inhibits the activation of early viral antigens, inhibits the activity of viral reverse transcriptase and protease, hinders viral DNA or RNA replication and viral protein synthesis, and has antiviral effects on influenza virus, herpes virus and hepatitis B virus.
