These two species of fungi are distributed throughout the world, both in tropical and temperate areas, including North America, South America, Africa, Europe and Asia. It grows like a parasite or saprophyte, on a wide variety of trees.1
It enjoys special veneration in Asia, where it has been used in traditional Chinese medicine as a medicine for more than 2, 000 years, becoming one of the oldest mushrooms known to have been used in medicine. Due to the health benefits attributed to it and the absence of side effects, it has achieved a good reputation in the East as a nutritional supplement with curative effects.
1. CANCER: Reishi Fungus helps reduce cancer risk and even incredibly helps fight the disease. It has more than 154 types of antioxidants, it also contains betaglucans, lentinan, organic germanium that together synergize and become the best weapon against cancer. This helps the body protect its cells and destroy cancer cells.
2. CARDIAC DISEASES: The reishi mushroom helps prevent heart disease and stroke. It has effects of controlling blood pressure, improving circulation, decreasing blood fats, and avoiding atherosclerosis because it has natural adenosine and triterpenoids such as ganodic acid.
3. ANTI-AGING: The reishi mushroom contains a large amount of antioxidants such as polyphenols, flavonoids, vitamin C, etc. They attack free radicals, in addition organic germanium helps cellular oxygenation which means that it helps to combat the effects of aging and longevity.
4. WEIGHT LOSS: The reishi mushroom helps the body lose weight, burns fat and is a natural metabolic stimulant, due to the synergy of its compounds. By activating our metabolism our cells begin to use more reserve energy (fat).
5. ENERGY: The reishi mushroom improves the energy of both our body and our mind, the organic germanium found in the fungus helps to better oxygenate the cells improving the total energy.
6. THE SKIN: The antioxidants in the reishi mushroom protect the skin from the damaging effects of free radicals, which are the cause of wrinkles and skin aging. The reishi mushroom also helps in the fight of skin cancer.
7. ARTHRITIS: The reishi mushroom helps prevent, reduce risk and fight rheumatoid arthritis. This due to the synergy of triterpenoids, organic germanium and immunomodulators that allows the control of inflammations and adapts the immune system.
8. BONES: Due to the presence of calcium and vitamin D, in addition to other compounds that help calcium absorption improve our bones, by consuming reishi mushrooms every day helps to preserve bone density.
9. CHOLESTEROL: The reishi mushroom helps reduce the level of cholesterol, also improves the proportion of good cholesterol and bad cholesterol, reducing the level of bad cholesterol, this due to the presence of triterpenoids and adenosine.
10. OBESITY: The reishi mushroom helps prevent obesity by stopping the movement of glucose in fat cells. Whoever follows a healthy diet, exercises regularly, and consumes the reishi mushroom is very unlikely to become obese.
11. DIABETES: The reishi mushroom improves metabolism in relation to lipids and glucose, and prevents sudden increases in blood sugar levels by balancing the overall metabolism.
12. BLOOD SUGAR: Blood sugar tends to increase with age, but the polyphenols, and polysaccharides in the reishi mushroom help reduce the blood sugar level.
13. HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE: The reishi mushroom helps reduce blood pressure due to blood purification and promote the elasticity of the arteries.
14. GASTRITIS: Thanks to the wonderful compounds that the fungus possesses, our defenses fight efficiently against Helicobacter Pylori. In addition, the stomach cells work better thanks to the synergy of compounds controlling acid secretion.
15. CONSTIPATION: Thanks to the large amount of non-soluble fiber such as hemicellulose, it allows the colon to function properly. This improves digestive functions and allows the elimination of harmful compounds for the body.
16. ALZHEIMER: The reishi mushroom helps strengthen memory, although there is no known cure for Alzheimer's, the reishi mushroom helps slow the process of reducing acetylcholine in the brain, which is what causes Alzheimer's.
17. PARKINSON EVIL: Reishi mushroom antioxidants help prevent cell damage in the brain, which is one of the causes of Parkinson's disease, who consume the fungus regularly is very unlikely to develop this disease.
18. ADDICTIONS: Thanks to the synergistic effect of compounds such as organic germanium and antioxidants, the function of the nervous system is improved, thus controlling addictions.
19. MIGRAÑAS: In the same way the compounds that relax the nervous system together with the triterpenoids that control pain and inflammations, help to control and fight migraines in the best way.
20. HEPATIC DISEASES: The reishi mushroom helps prevent liver failures due to its antifibrotic and immunological properties that prevent liver malfunction. All this to the synergy of its compounds.
21. RENAL DISEASES: Studies in Japan show that the reishi mushroom has a great effect on the best function of our kidneys. From nephritis to renal failure it has been shown that the synergy of fungus compounds controls and fights problems of this type.
22. FOOD POISONING: The lentinan found in the reishi mushroom can help the body kill the bacteria that cause food poisoning and destroy the toxins produced by these bacteria.
23. IMMUNITY: Polyphenols, flavonoids, betaglucans, and mainly the lentinan found in the fungus help stimulate the immune system, strengthening health, in the fight against infections.
24. FLU AND COLD: The reishi mushroom helps prevent flu and colds, due to the synergy of its compounds greatly improves our defenses.
25. ASTHMA: The anti-inflammatory properties of triterpenoids and germanium allow the muscles that support the bronchial tubes to relax, reducing the severity of asthma. In addition to the immunomodulatory effect of its compounds prevents the occurrence of agitations.
26. HERPES AND OTHER VIRUSES: The reishi mushroom by possessing compounds that increase the defenses and also the germanium that increases the production of interferon, is a great help for herpes, and other viruses such as hepatitis types, papilloma, HIV, etc.
27. ALLERGIES: The presence of triterpenoids such as ganoderic acid has antihistamine effects which decreases allergies. So if there are allergies, reishi mushroom consumption should be seriously considered regularly.
28. AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES: thanks to the effect of lentinan and other polysaccharides such as betaglucans, the function of our immune system is regulated, thus combating diseases such as psoriasis, vitiligo, lupus, arthritis, etc.
29. HIV: Scientists in Japan have shown that the lentinan of the reishi mushroom greatly improves our immune system and helps reduce the attack of HIV on healthy cells of the immune system Gico. What this means is that the reishi mushroom can help stop the spread of HIV.
30. STRESS: The synergistic effects of the compounds found in the reishi mushroom allow relaxation of the nervous system and help reduce stress and anxiety, which are becoming in the main disease risk factors of today.
