Lingzhi or Ganoderma lucidum-branded herbal supplements and nutraceuticals are widely available, typically as capsules, liquid extracts, chewable tablets, powder, rice wine or syrup with various herbal components included.

Ganoderma lucidum has been demonstrated to possess antioxidative, hypoglycaemic, and lipid-lowering benefits in animal studies; more extensive long-term clinical trials should be conducted to confirm these claims.

Black coffee with Ganoderma Lucidum is an invigorating beverage, designed to boost energy levels and aid focus without the risk of jitters or fog. Made using freshly brewed high-quality coffee and organic Reishi (Ganoderma Lucidum) mushroom extracts from high quality farms grown under ideal conditions and harvested at peak season to ensure maximum effectiveness, before freeze drying to preserve bioactive compounds such as polysaccharides, Lucidenic acid and 12-acetyl Ganoderic acid F – known for their anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and immune modulating properties.

Reishi mushroom has long been used as part of Chinese medical practices to prolong longevity and enhance overall health, alleviate fatigue and promote restful sleep while soothing frayed nerves.

Furthermore, freeze-dried reishi had superior antibacterial and antifungal activity than heat-dried varieties as well as suppressing Candida albicans growth while simultaneously lowering cholesterol and triglycerides levels among its normal subjects subjects.
