Ganoderma lucidum spores can be very expensive to acquire due to their limited source in nature and limited source. Their harvest must take place under ideal circumstances and depending on how their shells are cracked (cracked means broken), this could significantly change their effectiveness.

OG’s proprietary process carefully cracks organic spore powder without crushing its delicate spores inside, creating an organic source of antioxidants for superior antioxidant protection.

The Power of the Spores

Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi) mushroom spores are among the most potency ingredients on Earth, packed with anti-inflammatory and immune-enhancing properties that help bust biofilms, support kidney health, build immunity against viruses, balance hormones (whether hyper or hypo), reduce cholesterol and blood sugar, manage stress, address inflammation and much more.

Organo Gold‘s King Coffee and Spore Powder offers powerful spores harvested properly that can actually heal themselves when taken orally, which makes this supplement so powerful and healthy! This is what sets Organo Gold apart as an incredible and sustainable product!

Organo’s unique ingredient, Spore Powder is both rare and expensive. Harvested through an intricate harvest process requiring 7-7 months for its maturity before producing enough spores for our premium Organic King Coffee and Spore Powder capsules. Each spore has an outer hard shell protecting its potency; most companies crush this shell to release its potency; but Organo uses its patented process of gently cracking without crushing to ensure only pure Spore Powder powder can be extracted.

My clients should consume two packets of King Coffee and six capsules of Spore Powder daily in order to achieve optimal health and productivity during their day! Doing this helps them remain at peak condition throughout their workday!

The Natural Vitality of the Mushroom

Fungi have caught the imagination of consumers searching for nutritious whole food sources that support immune health and energy production, prompting natural retailers to meet consumer demand by stocking more mushroom varieties rich with beta-glucans and other polysaccharides that provide immunity-enhancing effects.

Mushrooms like turkey tail and reishi mushrooms can often be found as supplements, but one species stands out: Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms have taken the world by storm and now feature in everything from coffee drinks to skin care and beauty products.

Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms are prized for their potency and are considered among the most potent available. Unlike wild-grown varieties, Ganoderma lucidum produces a hard shell which protects and nurtures its valuable spores, making harvesting quite challenging – some companies use plastic bags while this may damage them severely and significantly diminish their potency. At Organo Gold we harvest our Ganoderma lucidum using our own patented process that gently cracks through this shell without crushing the actual spores themselves – we harvest our Ganoderma lucidum using our own patented process that gently cracks without damaging or compressing them – unlike its wild counterparts!

Ultimately, this patented process helps produce a highly concentrated blend of beneficial compounds. The resultant extract boasts polysaccharides, triterpenes, selenium and antioxidants as well as being stored in glycerin to make for an easily digestible formulation.

Vitality, our mushroom and adaptogen blend, is designed to increase immunity, reduce fatigue, promote cellular health and overall wellness. This formula features Turkey Tail, Reishi, Shiitake Maitake Chaga Artist Conk Red Belted Conk mushrooms combined with traditionally used herbs like Ashwagandha for optimal wellness benefits.

The Hard Coating of the Spores

Spores are highly complex cell structures that have evolved as survival strategies in response to harsh environmental conditions, and provide energy-efficient surface area for growth. Spores take the shape of oval or rod-like spores with thick cell walls (called an endosporium), as well as an external proteinaceous coat known as an exosporium. Their oval/rod form makes them great at withstanding immense internal pressure generated during germination processes (>7.0 Mpa). Their circular form maximizes surface area for further growth – ideal for protecting cells against environmental stressors such as pressure generated during germination processes.

Additionally, the spore core is made up of an insoluble, heat-stable gel believed to protect spores from water molecules. Finally, its membrane is protected by an extracellular matrix composed of complex glycoprotein called Bacillus collagen-like protein A (BclA), which may serve as an immunodecoy and prevent interactions between spores and host cells in their environment.

Outside this outer layer, spores contain numerous enzymes that inactivate H2O2, including three major superoxide dismutases (KatA, KatB and KatX), DNA-protective MrgA protein and alkylhydroperoxide reductase Ahp (all identified). Furthermore, H2O2 could potentially be actively destroyed by catalases present within their coat layers as mutations did not alter resistance to lethal effects of H2O2.

Spores are shielded from environmental radiation by inner and outer spore coat layers, as previously discussed. While chemical or genetic methods to remove them did not alter resistance to 254-nm UV-C radiation; mutant strains AD17 and AD142 that lack outer spore coat due to gerE36 cotE::cat mutation were more sensitive to solar UV-C radiation.

Spores from mutant spore coat strains were more sensitive to UV-B radiation’s sporicidal effect than those from wild-type PY79 strain, further supporting that the inner and outer spore coats are essential for resisting environmental UV wavelengths. Indeed, it takes over 1,000kg of Ganoderma lucidum spores in order to yield one kg of Organo Gold Spore Powder!

The Cracking of the Spores

Spores of Ganoderma mushrooms are at the core of ORGANO’s King Coffee and other products designed to promote natural vitality, and ORGANO scientists in China have spent years learning how to harvest spores without harming their precious content. Unfortunately, however, harvesting them is no simple task; their hard outer shell protects them from human bodies while an inner layer prevents their nutrients from penetrating them fully. Scientists at ORGANO China have spent time cracking this shell without risking its contents being lost within. ORGANO scientists in China have spent time cracking this hard shell while not losing its precious contents inside.

At the end of their one year life cycle, when our spores have reached maturity they resemble fine baby powder and can be collected manually with special brushes. It takes 1,000 kilograms of these powdery spores to create one kg of our product-grade spore powder; therefore, each single speck of these spores is highly valued and treated as such.

To protect the spores from environmental stressors and ensure that they remained viable during harvesting, we encased them in a 2% (w/v) solution of sodium alginate in ethanol for 24 h before freeze drying (Christ Alpha 2-4/LD Plus, Germany). This technique enabled successful preservation while simultaneously showing high metabolic activity during freeze drying.

This technique may provide an effective microencapsulation approach for preserving Bacillus sphaericus spores in self-healing concrete, with superior survival rate and yield compared with spray and freeze drying methods. Furthermore, this study highlights the necessity of understanding bacterial spore physiology so as to create more efficient techniques for their preservation.

As our world continues to progress, people are becoming more concerned with both their own health and the environment. A holistic approach can be effective at meeting this goal – by combining modern technology with traditional knowledge to find sustainable and responsible solutions that ensure we coexist harmoniously with nature for years to come.
