Reishi mushroom(ganoderma lucidum) has great benefits in skin care and anti-aging. Reishi can maintain and regulate skin moisture, promote subcutaneous bloodstream, avoid skin radiation, relieve skin allergies, cure skin elasticity, and inhibit melanin in the skin and its precipitation. Currently reishi has been used in a variety of beauty products. Reishi contains polysaccharides and peptides which have significant effects on anti-aging. The mechanisms of the effects are listed as below:

1, Immunity promotion and adjustment. For adults and the elderly, the promotion and adjustment can significantly slow down aging. For the children in the growth stage, it can improve the immunity and fight against diseases to ensure the healthy growth.

2, Metabolic balance regulation. Studies have shown that reishi can promote the biosynthesis of nucleic acid and protein of serum,liver and bone marrow, which helps anti-aging. Studies show that reishi can help anti-aging, not only to the elderly, but also for all ages, because the whole process is the process of aging.

3, Fighting against free radicals. The reduction in antioxidants or antioxidant enzymes (such as superoxide dismutase) is one of the reasons for human aging. Reishi polysaccharides have significant SOD activity, which can remove free radicals generated by the body, prevent free radical damages to the body to prevent the lipid peroxidation, protect the cells, delay the cell aging.

4, Reishi polysaccharides can significantly enhance the synthesis of intranuclear DNA, which increases cell split algebra to delay the body’s aging.

In addition to oral supplementation, reishi spore oil can also be used topically, the main benefits include:

1, Ganoderic acids R and S of triterpenoids in reishi spore oil have strong antiviral ability to inhibit and eliminate fungus, molds, bacterium, viruses and other pathogens, which protects the skin from microbial damages.

2, Ganoderic acids A, B, C and D of triterpenoids in reishi spore oil can inhibit histamine release in the cells. In the body there are two kinds of histamines: extracellular histamine and histamine. Under normal situations, extracellular histamine is inactive together with heparin in the body, which become granules of mast cells and basophils. Once the granules are released into the body fluids or blood circulation, a series of tissue reactions happen. Extracellular histamine damages the skin with no obvious feeling, swelling occurs in more serious cases. Ganoderic acids A, B, C and D can inhibit the release of histamine to prevent skin damage, regulate allergic constitution and reduce inflammation symptoms, these features are not what the other cosmetics own.

3, Reishi spore oil contains 73.6% unsaturated fatty acids and 112 triterpenoids, which have strong antioxidation activity. The continents lubricate the skin cutin and and accelerate the decomposition of tyrosinase, which is why reishi spore oil has better functions than the other lipids.
