Why is reishi spore powder so powerful? It is mainly because there are many active ingredients from reishi spore, which are much higher than that of ganoderma lucidum body.
Reishi spore powder contains 70 times the amount of active ingredients of reishi body.
So what are the main active ingredients of reishi spore powder?
So far, hundreds of components have been isolated from reishi spore powder, including polysaccharides, triterpenoids, nucleosides, alkaloids, vitamins, fatty acids, and minerals.
Among them, polysaccharides and triterpenoids are the most important active ingredients of reishi. The power of reishi spore powder to prevent cancer are mainly from the two.
1. Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides
Polysaccharides prevent cancer by increasing immunity
At present, there are more than 200 kinds of ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides from reishi, most of them are β-glucans and a few are α-glucans.
Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides have anti-cancer and anti-cancer effects. However, Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide does not directly kill cancer cells.
Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides can activate immune cells such as macrophages and natural killer cells, improve the body’s immunity, and then kill or inhibit these cancer cells by immune cells.
Additionally, ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides can reduce blood pressure and prevent cardiovascular disease; stimulate insulin secretion and lower blood glucose concentration; accelerate blood microcirculation and improve blood oxygen supply capacity, etc.
2. Ganoderma triterpenoids
Ganoderma triterpenoids are the main active ingredients of reishi spore powder. In 1982, scientists isolated triterpenoids from ganoderma lucidum for the first time.
There are about 100 kinds of ganoderma triterpenes. They also have anti-cancer effects, unlike Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides, ganoderma triterpenoids can directly kill cancer cells.
Ganoderma triterpenoids are an effective inducer of tumor cell apoptosis. it can achieve the purpose of treating cancer by inducing apoptosis of cancer cells.
Besides, ganoderma lucidum triterpenoids can strengthen the stomach, inhibit histamine release, detoxify and protect the liver.
3. Ganoderma protein
Ganoderma protein is another important active ingredient in reishi spore powder besides ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides and triterpenoids.
There are many types of proteins in ganoderma, including ganoderma immunomodulatory protein, glycoprotein and so on. Although both are part of ganoderma protein, their effects are quite different.
Ganoderma immunomodulatory protein is related to immunity. Experiments have shown that ganoderma lucidum immunoregulatory protein can promote the increase of lymphocytes. Lymphocytes are immune cells, when lymphocytes increase, the immunity is enhanced.
Glycoproteins are a complex of proteins and oligosaccharides, but this complex is not a mixture of proteins and oligosaccharides, they are a combination of molecules and atoms.
Glycoproteins have anti-oxidant effects, can remove active oxygen, and also have certain antibacterial and antiviral effects. They also play an important role in the immune system.
4. Alkaloids
Alkaloids lower blood pressure and protect the liver
Reishi spore powder also contains alkaloids. Alkaloids are basic organic compounds containing nitrogen. There are about 10,000 alkaloids in nature.
The alkaloids in reishi spore powder are choline, betaine, Y-trimethylaminobutyric acid and thiohistidine methylamine salt.
These ingredients can reduce cholesterol, improve coronary blood flow, reduce myocardial oxygen tolerance, and have certain effects on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hepatitis, etc.
5. Mineral elements, selenium, germanium
Reishi spore powder contains a variety of mineral elements. Besides zinc, calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, and sodium, it contains organic germanium and selenium.
Germanium is known as “longevity element”, and the content of germanium in reishi spore powder is relatively high, which is 3-6 times that of ginseng.
Germanium can enhance human blood supply, promote blood metabolism, eliminate free radicals in the body, and prevent cell aging; it can also inhibit the deterioration and spread of cancer cells.
Selenium prevents cancer, relieves pain, prevents prostate disease, It is used in combination with vitamin C to prevent heart disease.
6. Other ingredients
Reishi spore powder is also rich in amino acids: leucine, isoleucine, lysine, valine, methionine, phenylalanine and other amino acids.
Fatty acids in ganoderma spores include behenic acid, stearic acid, palmitic acid and behenic acid.
In addition, ganoderma spore powder also contains vitamins, mainly vitamin E, whose content exceeds 60mg / 100g. It also contains a small amount of vitamin C.
