Ganoderma lucidum coffee is a beverage that combines the deep, familiar taste of traditional coffee with subtle earthy tones from an antifungal medicinal mushroom, creating an exciting drink option that consumers are flocking to try. It has quickly become a sensational trend.

Studies on diabetic mice have demonstrated that water extracts of Lingzhi and its peptidoglycans (ganoderans A and B) possess hypoglycaemic activity, as evidenced by reduced hepatic glucose output, increased insulin secretion and inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase-3b activity. These effects are achieved via reductions in both output hepatically as well as increases in secretion from pancreatic islets.

Boosts the metabolism

Ganoderma lucidum coffee not only aids weight loss but can also regulate glucose and blood pressure, boost immunity against free radicals and lower risk of cardiovascular diseases, boost metabolism and burn fat efficiently – its unique flavor and creamy texture making it an appealing alternative to regular coffee!

Ganoderma spore oil’s hepatoprotective effects have been demonstrated through various animal models. For instance, when given to transverse aortic constriction mouse models of heart failure for 14 days at every other day (Xie et al. 2016), regular consumption of Ganoderma spore oil normalised ejection fraction and reduced left ventricular hypertrophy (Xie et al. 2016). Furthermore, its lipid-lowering properties were demonstrated through various in vitro and in vivo studies; for instance patients suffering from atrial fibrillation who consumed Lingzhi powder three times daily for 90 days experienced significant drops in both blood pressure as well as heart rate as well as levels of triglycerides, cholesterol, IL-1b, IL-6 and hsCRP (Rizal et al. 2020).

Ganoderma lucidum contains numerous polysaccharides that have been demonstrated to possess antibacterial and antiviral properties, stimulating enzymes involved in fat breakdown, lowering cholesterol levels, controlling blood sugar levels in those living with diabetes and providing control over insulin production (Chen et al. 2013). Furthermore, they can inhibit inflammatory processes while improving liver cell functionality (Chen et al. 2013).

Triterpenoids from G. lucidum have long been acknowledged for their therapeutic capabilities in terms of hypertension reduction, antilipid lowering, antiacetylcholinesterase activity and antioxidant effects (Wachtel-Galor et al. 2011). Unfortunately, however, their content in various commercial products varies and their bioavailability in humans has yet to be thoroughly assessed.

G. lucidum extracts in both ethyl acetate and 70% methanol have been demonstrated to possess antidiabetic effects in diabetic mice by suppressing a-glucosidase activity and increasing Ca2+ influx into pancreatic b cells, respectively. Furthermore, water extract of G. lucidum was shown to lessen carrageenan-induced inflammation by inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokines (Sheena et al. 2013).

Reduces appetite

Reishi mushroom coffee is made from premium Arabica beans infused with Ganoderma Lucidum extract for maximum enjoyment, but also provides many health benefits. Reishi coffee may help alleviate fatigue, promote restful sleep and calm frayed nerves while increasing energy levels and decreasing appetite. To get maximum benefit out of reishi coffee it should be organic with no fillers or additives present – AYURA offers two varieties – traditional black blend and creamy cappuccino!

Reishi mushrooms used in this coffee come from an organic farm in China that utilizes sustainable practices without harmful chemicals, pesticides or fertilizers, and have been certified organic by an independent lab. Furthermore, this reishi coffee is gluten, lactose and soy-free – perfect for those with food sensitivities or allergies. Furthermore, multiple online retailers sell this variety.

Reishi coffee has been demonstrated to possess hypoglycaemic, antihypertensive, lipid-reducing and antioxidant effects, along with immunomodulatory properties. Reishi coffee makes an excellent alternative to conventional caffeinated drinks like espresso and cappuccino and should be enjoyed first thing in the morning for energy boost and appetite control.

Studies conducted in vitro have demonstrated that polysaccharide extracts of G. lucidum possess strong antioxidant activity and demonstrate effective 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging capacity. Furthermore, fresh fruiting bodies from G. lucidum were reported to contain phenolic compounds capable of blocking HMG-CoA reductase enzyme activity in rats and hamster liver microsomes.

In a randomised, closed-label clinical trial involving 45 ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients, daily consumption of polysaccharides from G. lucidum reduced systolic blood pressure, heart rate, LDL-C levels, as well as decreasing inflammation markers such as IL-1, TNF-a and MDA (Sargowo et al. 2019). This may be attributable to its effects on oxidative stress and inflammation caused by ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Helps to burn fat

G. lucidum polysaccharides, the main constituents of fruiting bodies and mycelia, contain glucose, xylose, mannose, galactose and fucose in different configurations, stimulating secretion of adipokines such as leptin and adiponectin while simultaneously suppressing lipogenesis in liver tissue – this helps promote fat burning and weight loss for those who are overweight. Triterpenes found within Ganoderma lucidum can suppress production while increasing insulin sensitivity – making Ganoderma effective at both reducing blood sugar levels as well as improving metabolic syndrome symptoms.

Ganoderma antioxidants and active compounds have also been proven to lower cardiovascular risk factors. In an experimental carotid artery-ligation mouse model, oral administration of G. lucidum ethanol extract reduced lipid peroxidation while increasing glutathione peroxidase, GSH-S-transferase, SOD and CAT activity in heart tissue (Wachtel-Galor et al 2004b). Furthermore, polysaccharides from this species such as Ganolucidic Acid E and K along with farnesyl hydroquinones ganomycin J and B had inhibitory effects against HMG-CoA reductase enzyme which are involved in cholesterol production (Wachtel-Galor et al 2004b).

Ganoderma coffee may offer another potential advantage: stress relief. Studies have revealed that it can lower cortisol levels, helping prevent emotional eating and weight gain caused by stress-related circumstances.

To gain maximum benefits from your ganoderma slimming coffee, select one that has been certified organic and produced using cutting-edge processes. GanoHerb employs low-temperature cell wall breaking technology to achieve a 99% breaking rate of Reishi spores, guaranteeing the beneficial polysaccharides and triterpenes are released into their cup efficiently. Furthermore, their Ganoderma coffee is free of pesticides or heavy metals. Coffee with its distinctive, smooth, nutty flavour has long been used as part of morning rituals to boost metabolism and curb appetite; or before workouts for sustained energy and greater fat burning. Now we offer regular and decaf versions to suit every preference! Ganoderma coffee can make for an enjoyable afternoon pick-me-up or relaxing evening drink, but as with any dietary supplement it should only be consumed after consulting with your healthcare provider first. As with all supplements or medications it may interfere with pregnancy or any prescribed blood pressure or sugar medications being taken by those on a special diet (i.e. diabetes medication or blood pressure/blood sugar medications).

Increases energy

Ganoderma lucidum, also referred to in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) as Lingzhi or Reishi, has multiple therapeutic effects and benefits that make it particularly helpful. These include its anti-inflammatory properties and ability to increase energy levels. Studies suggest its positive impacts may include increasing cardiovascular system function by protecting against atherosclerosis and atrial fibrillation as well as lowering cholesterol and blood pressure; furthermore several have confirmed its effect on cholesterol and blood pressure reduction as well. Further evidence shows its polysaccharide extracts and peptides help in lowering both LDL-C levels as inhibiting lipid peroxidation while simultaneously relaxing blood vessels while dilatation and relaxation – natural vasodilators helping relax blood vessels for easier passageway of blood vessel dilation!

Water extraction produces several glycoproteins including b-glucans, proteins and phenols which have been shown to exert hypoglycaemic actions in both normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice by increasing insulin secretion, decreasing hepatic glucose output and improving adipose and skeletal muscle glucose disposal. Mechanistic studies showed these actions were caused by inhibiting hepatic glucokinase, AMP-activated protein kinase, glycogen synthase kinase-3 as well as activating receptors for activating receptors for activating receptors phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase activating receptors activated insulin receptors activated insulin receptors while activating receptors on activating receptors for activating receptors of PIP-3 Kinase-3 while FYGL’s antioxidant properties inhibit the proliferation of hepatocytes.

Lingzhi-8 was first found in G. lucidum fruiting bodies as an immunoglobulin-like structure and has demonstrated immune modulating properties for its first time ever. It reduces hepatic glycogen levels by inhibiting gluconeogenesis, stimulates insulin secretion through the PI3K/Akt pathway, and may increase activity of GLUT4.

A randomised, closed-label clinical trial with 38 atrial fibrillation patients demonstrated that taking polysaccharide peptides of G. lucidum three times daily for 90 days significantly lowered both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, plasma creatinine levels, haemoglobin counts, red blood cell counts as well as inflammation biomarkers such as IL-1 and hsCRP as well as increased HDL-C levels compared with placebo controls; this study was published in European Journal of Cardiovascular Disease Prevention; similarly similar pilot studies with larger samples are currently under way –
