Is Ganoderma Coffee Good For Diabetes?
Ganoderma (reishi mushroom) is an ancient and revered fungus with longstanding history in traditional medicine, making its presence felt in traditional practices worldwide. Ganoderma is well known as an adaptogen, providing immune support while helping balance hormonal levels within the body, among many other health benefits.
Though evidence for Ganoderma’s potential health effects are encouraging, many claims remain unverifiable and therefore its use in supplements and beverages remains controversial. Still, Ganoderma remains one of the most beloved superfoods worldwide and continues to increase in popularity – leading to an ever increasing demand for products containing this mushroom. This article answers whether Ganoderma coffee can benefit diabetics by exploring some of its science behind these claims.
Answering the question of whether or not Ganoderma Coffee can help diabetes is difficult and dependent upon product. Some reishi coffee contains just extract of the fungus while others blend it with coffee beans and other ingredients. Ideally, people living with diabetes should choose products containing high concentrations of Reishi extract without added sugars or artificial sweeteners while being low in fat with other beneficial components like Ginseng, Prickly Pear Cactus Extract Moringa Coenzyme Q10 L-carnitine and collagen among others.
Reishi coffee and ganoderma-infused teas have been shown to possess anti-diabetic properties. Studies have demonstrated that Reishi mushroom can decrease blood glucose levels, improve lipid profiles and cardiovascular function as well as possess antioxidant and immunomodulatory properties; furthermore it was also observed to increase ejection fraction and decrease left ventricular hypertrophy while attenuating left atrial hypertension in chronic heart failure patients as well as inhibit the expression of Foxo3 (Xie et al. 2016).
Ganoderma is an adaptogen, meaning that its effects don’t just benefit one system in your body – instead they have wide-reaching benefits across all systems in your body – such as increasing energy levels and reducing fatigue while fighting inflammation and stressors like inflammation and stressors.
