Organic germanium, etc. It is believed that Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides and organic germanium are the important active ingredients of Ganoderma lucidum. Among them, organic germanium is considered to be a powerful immune enhancer. The content of organic germanium in Ganoderma lucidum is 800-2000ppm, which is 4-6 times higher than ginseng. Modern research has concluded that Ganoderma lucidum has a wide range of pharmacological activities such as sedation, anticonvulsant, metabolism improvement, delayed aging, anti-stress, adrenocortical function enhancement, immune enhancement, anti-radiation damage, hepatoprotection, detoxification, antitussive, expectorant, asthma, cardiac enhancement, anti-arrhythmia, anti-myocardial ischemia, antihypertensive, hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, anti-tumor, and so on.

Modern applications of Ganoderma lucidum are mainly used for the following diseases:

Ganoderma lucidum is a general fungus that has some benefits for the human body, but it should never be intentionally exaggerated to deify a general fungus. This is the scientific explanation. The so-called International Ganoderma Lucidum Research Association is too modestly named, and should be called the Universe Invincible Ganoderma Lucidum Research Association.

Ganoderma lucidum has been used medicinally in China for more than 2,000 years, and has been regarded as a miraculous treasure that nourishes and strengthens the body and strengthens the foundation by successive generations of medicine practitioners. It has many effects on the human body.

1, enhance immunity: can effectively activate the immune cells, manifested in promoting lymphocyte proliferation and secretion of cytokines, improve the phagocytosis of macrophages and NK cells (natural killer cells), significantly improve the body's immunity, the body's mutant cells have an inhibitory effect or kill the role of the disease has a certain role in promoting the improvement of the disease.

2, liver protection, improve liver fibrosis: with immunomodulation and other effects, chemical (alcohol) liver injury has an auxiliary protective effect, can regulate liver injury caused by serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and azelaic aminotransferase (AST) level of elevation, improve the degree of liver damage and improve liver fibrosis. It can improve the degree of liver damage and improve liver fibrosis, and can enhance the synergistic effect on interferon by improving the immunity of the body.

3, improve sleep and neurasthenia: with the health care function of improving sleep, can remove free radicals in the body, reduce body fatigue, neurasthenia, insomnia has a significant effect.

4, regulation of blood lipids and blood sugar: Ganoderma lucidum triterpenoids, unsaturated fatty acids and other active ingredients, can soften blood vessels, regulate blood lipids, blood sugar and other functions, the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular has a certain protective effect.

5、Improve myocardial ischemia: It has a protective effect on myocardial ischemia by reducing lipid peroxidation damage, lowering the content of serum malondialdehyde (MDA), and increasing the activity of serum SOD. 6、Improve cough, phlegm and wheezing symptoms of respiratory system: It has improved cough, phlegm and wheezing symptoms of chronic bronchitis by strengthening the body's immune system and improving the body's immunity.

7, alleviate the toxic side effects of radiotherapy: it can play the role of supporting and strengthening the foundation, increase the effectiveness and reduce the toxicity, improve the body's immunity, thereby reducing the toxic side effects caused by radiotherapy, alleviate nausea, vomiting, hair loss and other discomforts, low white blood cells, platelet lowering, etc., there is a significant increase in the effect of bone marrow, immune organs have a protective effect on the improvement of the disease to a certain degree of auxiliary effect.

8, delay aging and beauty: with inhibition and removal of free radicals, prevent lipid peroxidation, regulate nucleic acid and protein biosynthesis, promote the synthesis of DNA in the cell nucleus, prolonging the ability of cell division algebra. These are all important factors in slowing down aging. And "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that Ganoderma lucidum "good color", long-term use, beneficial to the qi and blood, can improve the skin condition, so that the skin is red and shiny, and has a role in promoting beauty and skin care.

In fact, the real disease-smoothing ganoderma lucidum is called water ganoderma lucidum, which is very rare. The ones we see now are called wood ganoderma lucidum, which has a high yield and some medicinal effects, but is exaggerated too much to be trusted.
