¿Qué es Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) Extract? Aplicaciones, dosis, alternativas y especificaciones

Reishi Ganoderma Extract, also known as Reishi Extract or Ganoderma lucidum Extract, es un natural plant extracto processed from the dried fruiting body of the medicinal fungus Ganoderma lucidum or Ganoderma sinense (Polyporaceae family) through extractoion, filtration, concentration, and drying processes. It es un functional ingredient with multiple biological activities. Ganoderma has been used as a medicinal fungus in China for over 2000 years and es un treasure in the treasury of traditional Chinese medicine, known as the “fairy herb” and “auspicious herb”. The Shennong Bencao Jing (The Divine Farmer‘s Materia Medica) from the Eastern Han Dynasty listed Ganoderma as a superior-grade herb, a renowned tonic for strengthening the body and reinforcing the vital energy. The Compendium of Materia Medica records: “Ganoderma is neutral in nature, bitter in taste, non-toxic. Mainly indicated for chest binding, benefits heart qi, tonifies the middle, aumenta wisdom, previene forgetfulness, long-term use lightens the body, previene aging, and prolongs life.” The Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2020 edition) records that the source of Ganoderma crude drug is the dried fruiting body of Ganoderma lucidum or Ganoderma sinense. Reishi extracto is produced using modern bioextractoion technology, combining the traditional medicinal value of Ganoderma with modern pharmacological research results, targeting core health needs como human immune regulation, antioxidante, and metabolic mejoranment. It es un natural plant extracto product con alto biological activity and functional specificity. El producto strictly controls the content and ratio of major active ingredients como Ganoderma polysaccharides and triterpenoids to garantizan optimal health promotion. Reishi extracto products are disponible in various forms, incluyendo ratio extractos (4:1, 10:1, 20:1, 50:1, etc.), polysaccharide content specifications (10%-50%), triterpene content specifications (1%-10%), así como polvos, capsules, tablets, and oral líquidos.

To date, scientific research has confirmed that over 400 bioactive metabolites have been obtained from different parts of Ganoderma incluyendo fruiting bodies, mycelium, and spores, incluyendo Ganoderma polysaccharides, polysaccharide peptides, triterpenoids, nucleosides, sterols, alkaloids, furan derivatives, peptides, amino acids, volatile aceites, and trace elements. Among them, polysaccharides and triterpenoids are the main components. Additionally, it contiene other active components with unique biological functions, como sterols, nucleosides, and polyphenols [8†L8-L9]. These active compounds are the main source of Ganoderma-related therapeutic and pharmacological functions, incluyendo anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, antioxidante, blood lipid regulation, heart protegenion, sleep promotion, anti-ulcer, antiviral, anti-aging, antibacterial, and immunomodulatory activities.

Ganoderma Polysaccharides: Ganoderma polysaccharides are one of the most important active components in Ganoderma, with broad immunomodulatory effects. Ganoderma is considered an immunomodulator and has been shown in many studies to promueven and regulate the immune system. The immunomodulatory mechanisms of Ganoderma include improving the proliferation and activity of antigen-presenting cells (dendritic cells), enhancing the phagocytic activity of natural killer (NK) cells and mononuclear macrophages, and promoting humoral and cellular immunity (B and T lymphocytes) así como the production of immunoglobulins and cytokines. The Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2020 edition) uses UV-Vis spectrophotometry con unhydrous glucose as the reference standard to determine the polysaccharide content of Ganoderma, stipulating that the polysaccharide content in Ganoderma crude drug shall not be less than 0.9%.
