Ganoderma improves body immunity as well as spores
December 6th, 2008
There are numerous ganoderma (also called lingzhi, reishi, 靈芝) products on the market that advertises itself as 100% cracked spores. It is a common believe that when ganoderma spores are cracked, which means the hard walls protecting the spores are broken down, the human body can therefore better absorb the nutrients from the spores.
The Institute of Chinese Medicine of the Chinese University of Hong Kong did a study on how efficient can ganoderma cracked spores can improve our immunity compared to ganoderma without cracked spores. The researchers ran tests on mice and found that their immunomodulatory function is similar, for either cracked or non-cracked spores.
