Organo Gold is a network marketing powerhouse founded in 2008 that blends premium coffee with Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms – revered medicinal mushrooms with known health benefits – creating an intriguing beverage with potential immune support benefits.

Premium Blend mixes in an instant to produce an exquisite cup of coffee, enhanced by delicate organic Ganoderma spores that add an exotic flair.

What is coffee?

Coffee is a brewed beverage prepared from roasted and ground seeds (technically berries) of Coffea arabica plants native to over 40 African and Central Asian nations, and found predominantly in coffee producing regions. Coffee ranks as one of the three most consumed beverages globally and profitable international commodities, due to the invigorating effect of caffeine alkaloid.

Coffee was first recorded in history around 850 CE by an Arab goatherd named Kaldi who claimed that his herds became exhilarated upon eating the berries of an evergreen plant thought to have originated in Kefa (Kaffa), Ethiopia.

Organo Gold’s organic Ganoderma spores can be expensive to harvest due to their difficult location and harvest timing requirements. While most companies crush them into powder, Organo Gold uses an innovative process called gentle cracking that preserves all their power without harming or diluting it – providing fresher and stronger consumption experience for you!

What is Ganoderma?

Ganoderma (Lingzhi in Chinese) is an extensively utilized medicinal mushroom. Historically used throughout Asia for its longevity-increasing properties as well as to promote health and vitality, Ganoderma may increase energy, enhance memory retention and protect against age related effects while acting as an antioxidant with antitumor, immunomodulatory and antihypertensive properties.

Ganoderma is an expansive and varied family of wood-decaying fungi (Ganodermataceae), found worldwide. This large and diverse genus includes over 200 species that differ widely in host specificity, morphological features and geographic distribution – making identification difficult without accurate taxonomic knowledge.

These species of saprophytes are saprophytic and cause root or stem rot in many monocots, dicots and gymnosperms such as coffee, cocoa, tea, rubber trees, oil palms, betelnut trees and forest trees. Their prevalence in tropical environments makes them especially problematic as their diseases result in plantations crop loss as well as damage to native species.

Ganoderma can typically be found under trees or at the bases of old logs, stumps, and branches in shaded areas. Its fruiting bodies produce spores that are released via its gill-like protuberances (peridium) on its cap surface – one of its key distinguishing characteristics that sets Ganoderma apart from other wood decay fungi.

There are various species of Ganoderma used for medicinal purposes and harvested commercially as medicinal mushrooms, with Ganoderma lucidum being one of the most well-known examples. Used medicinally in China for millennia, Ganoderma lucidum has long been revered as “God’s herb,” helping extend life, improve health, and promote youthful spirit. Also, as a powerful antioxidant it has demonstrated antitumor, immunomodulatory, antioxidant and hepatoprotective activities as well as antitumor activities against tumor cells as well.

Ganoderma lucidum contains many bioactive compounds, with polysaccharides, glycoproteins and polysaccharidic extracts being the major bioactive components. Isolation and chemical characterization have led to identification of numerous biological activity-associated molecules; the current review attempts to contribute to our knowledge about these bioactive molecules while highlighting their structural features such as composition type of glycosidic linkages or branching patterns as well as interactions with proteins.
