What
are the active ingredients?
Researchers have identified that water-soluble polysaccharides are
the most active element found in Lingzhi that have anti-tumour, immune
modulating and blood pressure lowering effects.
Another active ingredient are triterpenes, called ganoderic acids.
Studies have indicated that ganoderic acids help alleviate common
allergies by inhibiting histamine release, improve oxygen utilization
and improve liver functions.
Are there any side-effects?
No. According to classical literature, Lingzhi is classified as a
superior herb. Superior herbs are said to be non-toxic and can be
consumed in large quantities and for a long period without any side
effects.
After 2,000 years, there are still no side effects reported in
available literature and clinical studies. However, sensitive
individuals may experience some detoxification symptoms such as mild
digestive upset, dizziness, sore bones, and skin rashes during the
initial period of intake. This is the excretion of accumulated toxic
matters from modern day foods and vigorous activities of the body
metabolism. These are all normal signs of recovery and an indication
that the medicinal effect of Lingzhi is functioning well.
Futhermore, in American Herbal Pharmacopoeia®’s published monograph
on Lingzhi mushrooms, Lingzhi is classified as “Class 1: Herbs that can
be safely consumed when used appropriately (McGuffin and others 1997).
No side effects were reported in the available clinical literature.
Clinicians have reported occasional mild digestive upset and skin rashes
in sensitive individuals. These side effects are usually of short
duration.”
Taking a source of Vitamin C with Lingzhi can help reduce any side
effects which may occur upon the initial intake of the herb.
Can I take Lingzhi with other medications?
Yes. Lingzhi is a natural health supplement and there are no reported
contraindications in over 2,000 years of study. However, all
immune-modulating substances such as Reishi should be taken with care
for patients undergoing organ transplants and using immunosuppressive
drugs.
It is always a good idea to consult a qualified health physician
(preferably someone with experience in complementary health care) before
consuming any dietary supplement.

can be found at the following website: Pharmasave – Library: Lingzhi
Mushroom.
How soon can I see the results of Lingzhi?
Result varies from individual to individual. Normally one can notice
the benefits from taking high quality Lingzhi after about 10 days to two
weeks. One can experience a significant difference with their overall
well-being after taking Lingzhi continuously for two months.
Is Lingzhi good for all age groups?
Yes. Lingzhi is a health food supplement that is good for all age
groups, including children and pregnant women.
However, once again it is recommended to consult a qualified health
physician just to be safe when taking any dietary supplement.
What are the directions to take Lingzhi?
Lingzhi is best taken in the morning with an empty stomach. Drinking
more water will also help enhance the effects of Lingzhi by helping the
body get rid of poisonous waste.
It is also recommended to take Vitamin C with Lingzhi as this will
assist the body in absorbing the active ingredients in Lingzhi. Studies
have shown that Vitamin C helps break down the complex polysaccarides
into smaller manageable pieces for the body to absorb.
Which Lingzhi product is right for me?
Generally, Lingzhi products are available in tablet, capsule, or
granular form. A good Lingzhi product should also be in an extract or
essence form (For more about this, see Question 10.).
Like any other product, not all are created equal. Lingzhi products
have different levels of quality depending on the manufacturer. Factors
such as the method of cultivation, the quality of the plant’s mother
fungi, the growing conditions, and the processing method used to extract
the Reishi essence from the Lingzhi mushroom all play an important role
in determining the potency of a Lingzhi product.
As the Japanese are the originators for cultivating Lingzhi
commercially, products from Japan generally use the best cultivation
technique called the natural wood log method to cultivate high-grade
Reishi.
Before deciding on which product to use, also make sure that it is
properly and clearly labelled with the ingredients, manufacturer or
importer address, and product origin. Any authentic, high-quality, and
safe health supplement will contain this information.
What are the different types of cultivation for Lingzhi?
The three most common method of cultivation include wood pulp ,
wooden box , and natural wood log cultivation.
Wood pulp cultivation involves placing wood pulp in a glass bottle
with Lingzhi fungi added. After 3 months, this usually will yield small
mushrooms of relatively poor quality.
Wood box cultivation involves grafting the fungi into a wooden log
which is then placed in a wooden box. Lingzhi of medium-size and
moderate quality are generally produced through this method after 6
months.
The natural wood log method, developed by the Japanese, is the most
complex form of cultivation and produces large Lingzhi with superior
quality. The process involved first culturing high quality Lingzhi fungi
strain in test tubes for about 85 days. Germinating fungi are then
placed into drilled holes of selected high grade logs between 26 to 30
years old. The logs are then placed in a greenhouse and buried under
nutrient-rich soil for 5 months. During this growing period, the Reishi
fungi absorb almost all of the nutrients from the soil. Growing
conditions require continual monitoring to ensure a high quality Lingzhi
harvest.
Should I take Lingzhi when I am ill?
It doesn’t matter. Lingzhi can be taken at any time even when one is
ill. The primary benefit of Lingzhi is its ability to support and build
the immune system. Hence, Lingzhi is beneficial even for a sick person.
How is Lingzhi Essence extract different from Lingzhi it its raw
form?
The nutritional value of Lingzhi in its raw form is low without
further processing. It is difficult for the body to absorb the active
ingredients of Lingzhi without any extraction. In Traditional Chinese
Medicine (TCM) and throughout its history of use, only fully-grown dried
Lingzhi was used, cut into slices, boiled in hot water, and then drunk
in a tea/soup in order to properly digest the active ingredients.
Now Japanese manufacturers of Lingzhi products use a refined and
labour-intensive processing technique where raw Lingzhi is boiled
multiple times at a high pressure and sanitary environment to properly
extract the nutritional essence of Reishi.
The majority of the Lingzhi products in the market place are made
with the pulverized powder from the Lingzhi fruit body which is not
refined further to produce the extracted essence powder. This process
seriously impedes the ability for the human body to absorb it, thus
lowering the medicinal value.
How is Lingzhi different from other mushrooms?
While mushrooms such as shitake, maitake, and cordyceps, all share
similar immune boosting properties, Lingzhi has also the longest history
and has been known to be effective in the treatment of the widest range
of health conditions. Unlike other mushrooms, Lingzhi also has many
important compounds such as triterpenes (ganoderic acid) that gives
Lingzhi its characterisic bitter taste.
Where does Lingzhi come from?
The Lingzhi mushroom is found in nature on plum trees. However, it is
extremely rare and almost impossible to find in this manner. For this
reason, it was deemed as priceless and only consumed by royalty in China
and Japan for thousands of years.
In the early 1970s, Japanese researchers discovered a method for
cultivating Reishi on a mass scale. Now Lingzhi is available and can be
found cultivated commerically in Japan, China, the US, and other parts
of Asia.
