Health Benefits

Reishi spore oil, also called ganoderma spore oil, duanwood reishi spore oil, is pale yellow oily liquid, has a unique taste of Ganoderma lucidum, slightly bitter, it is supercrtically Co2 extracted from broken ganoderma lucidum powder. Its nutrients include a group of triterpenes, called ganoderic acids, they have a molecular structure similar to steroid hormones. It also contains other compounds, including polysaccharides, natural organic germanium, enzymes and organic selenium.

Reishi spore oil has the benefits of anti-tumor, immunomodulatory and immunotherapeutic activities, these benefits are supported by studies on polysaccharides, terpenes, and other bioactive compounds isolated from this fungus. It can inhibit platelet aggregation, lower blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar.

Laboratory studies showed anti-neoplastic effects of fungal isolated compounds against some types of cancer. Reishi spore oil can prevent cancer metastasis.

Ganoderma lucidum targets different stages of cancer development: inhibition of angiogenesis mediated by cytokines, cytoxicity, inhibiting migration of cancer cells and metastasis, and inducing and enhancing apoptosis of tumor cells.

Ganoderic acid has protective effects against liver injury by viruses, it also has a potential benefit of in the treatment of liver diseases in humans, and Ganderma-produced sterols inhibit lanosterol 14α-demethylase activity in the biosynthesis of cholesterol. Ganderma compounds inhibit 5-alpha reductase activity in the biosynthesis of dihydrotestosterone.

Besides effects on mammalian physiology, Reishi spore oil has anti-bacterial and anti-viral activities. Reishi also exhibits direct anti-viral with the following viruses: HSV-1, HSV-2, influenza virus, vesicular stomatitis. Ganoderma mushrooms are reported to exhibit direct anti-microbial properties with the following organisms: aspergillus niger, bacillus cereus, candida albicans, and escherichia coli.
