Therapeutic Application
This fungus may be able to decrease the size and number of tumors in certain types of cancer, as well as improve quality of life for some cancer patients. Ganoderma lucidum has a variety of mechanisms, but they are focused on moderating the immune system. The lingzi mushroom is able to reduce immune system activity when the system is overstimulated, and bolster the immune system when it is weakened. In general, Ganoderma lucidum increases the amount of active immune system cells. It has been shown to be an effective adjunct therapy, which means it improves health when taken alongside other medications, for breast cancer, hepatitis, fatigue syndrome, and prostate cancer. There are not many promising supplements with anti-cancer properties available over-the-counter but Ganoderma lucidum appears to be one of them
It can also help with energy and fatigue. A study found that Ganoderma lucidum combined with an antioxidant-rich chicken extract increased muscle performance and exercise recovery
An early research showed that taking this mushroom extract reduces chest pain and shortness of breath in people with heart disease
Another research showed that taking this mushroom reduces how much of the hepatitis B virus is in the body. This product also seems to improve liver function in people with this condition
