영지마 lucidum, as the top medicine in traditional Chinese medicine, is increasingly used for health preservation. However, many people still have doubts when choosing영지마lucidum 그리고영지마lucidum products daily.

“Can people who are not sick eat영지마lucidum?”

“Will eating영지마lucidum make people suffer from excessive internal heat?”

“How do you pick영지마lucidum?

오늘, we gave the answers to five frequently asked questions about영지마lucidum!

01

Should영지마lucidum be consumed before or after meals?

Generally, drugs are taken after meals because some drugs (such as antibiotics and analgesics) are often irritating or harmful to the gastric mucosa when taken on an empty stomach. Therefore, it is safer to take drugs after meals.

하지만, 영지마lucidum is recommended to be consumed on an empty stomach (one hour before a meal). First, it can be absorbed more completely, and second, if there is a gastrointestinal problem, it can directly act or help recovery.

(메모: For a small number of patients with gastric disease and duodenal ulcer, if the reaction is too strong after eating영지마lucidum on an empty stomach, they can eat영지마lucidum after a meal in a short period of time, and then resume eating영지마lucidum before a meal after the reaction is over.)

The information comes from the Ganoderma Academic Research and Development Committee (ganoderma.org).

02

Can영지마lucidum be taken with western medicine?

People who take drugs for a long time should eat more영지마lucidum.

Many studies have confirmed that영지마lucidum and western medicine have complementary effects. 동시에, 영지마lucidum can reduce the side effects of western medicine and reduce the load of western medicine on the liver. For diabetes, high blood pressure and other diseases, the overall effect of using영지마lucidum in combination with western medicine is far better than taking western medicine alone or taking영지마lucidum alone.

For common diseases such as colds and allergies, 영지마lucidum combined with western medicine can also double the efficacy of western medicine. What needs to be reminded is that western medicine is a single chemical component. If it changes chemically with the composition of영지마lucidum, its anti-disease efficacy may be affected. Therefore, there should be an over two-hour interval between taking영지마lucidum and western medicine.

03

Will eating영지마lucidum make people suffer from excessive internal heat?

According to the “Compendium of Materia Medica”, 영지마lucidum is mild in nature and suitable for people of any physique.

Although영지마lucidum is mild in nature, due to differences in personal physique, individuals can add different foods for adjustment when taking영지마lucidum. People with internal heat physique are recommended to take chrysanthemum and honey when taking영지마 lucidum. People with deficiency-cold physique can add Goji Berry and red dates.

04

Since I am not sick, do I still need to eat영지마lucidum?

According to TCM, inferior doctors treat the full-blown disease. Mediocre doctors treat the disease before it becomes evident. Superior doctors prevent the disease.This concept has something in common with modern western medicine’s emphasis on “prevention is better than cure”.영지마lucidum is a medicine used by superior doctors, and healthy people should eat영지마lucidum.

05

Is “Millennium영지마lucidum” really the top grade of영지마lucidum?

영지마lucidum is an annual fungus. It only takes a year to mature. The so-called “Millennium영지마lucidum” has already passed its maturity stage.

영지버섯 fruiting bodies will spray영지버섯spores at one-year maturity. 이때, the medicinal value of영지버섯 is transferred to영지버섯 spores, so영지버섯 spores are known as “영지버섯 essence”.

If you want to directly use영지버섯 fruiting bodies as medicine, one-year-old영지버섯 fruiting bodies that have just matured are more suitable.

The “Millennium영지마 lucidum” has already aged and deteriorated due to its long growth cycle.영지버섯 that grows in the wild cannot get carefully cultivated and taken care of. If the growth time is too long, the quality of wild영지버섯 will decrease. Wild영지버섯 is also prone to insect-eaten risks, and some even contain toxins. Therefore, there is a “shelf life” for the medicinal value of영지버섯.

There are many kinds of영지버섯 products on the market, and their quality is also uneven. How can we choose the top-grade영지버섯? It is mainly distinguished from the following three aspects:

• Shape of fruiting body: The fruiting bodies of the top grade 영지버섯 are regular, full, thick and without insect-eaten traces;
• Hand feeling: The top grade 영지버섯 has a hard texture and has a certain weight in the hand;
• Smell: The top-grade 영지버섯 emits the uniquely rich and pure fragrance of 영지버섯.
