Elixir of Life:
You Have Now Joined the Ranks of Chinese Emperors in Finding The Elixir
of Life:
In 220 B.C., after the completion of the Great Wall of China, Emperor Qin sent
officials from his court to find a substance that would promote longevity. It
was said that the herb being sought after was the reishi mushroom (ganoderma lucidum),
known in Chinese as "Ling Zhi", which means "spiritual plant".
In the second century B.C., Ling Zhi was a rare and valuable treasure harvested
by Taoist monks from China's ancient mountainous regions. The monks used the mushroom
to treat an incredibly wide variety of ailments and to inspire spiritual transcendence.
After the introduction of the reishi mushroom (ganoderma lucidum) to the emperor's
court, the herb became widely known as the Elixir of Life, and was available only
to the wealthiest and oldest families in China. Since this time, the reishi mushroom
(ganoderma lucidum) has been considered a valued herb throughout Asia, and it
has often been depicted as the quintessential symbol of health and longevity in
Chinese art.

Highest Quality Ganoderma
Herb Horizon Brings You the Highest Quality Ganoderma (Reishi) Available:
The botanical name of the reishi mushroom is ganoderma lucidum. In Latin "ganoderma"
means "shiny skin", which effectively describes the look of the kidney-shaped,
reddish brown mushroom. Throughout history, reishi mushrooms (ganoderma lucidum)
have been extremely expensive and difficult to obtain because they are only naturally
found in moist, temperate forests, and they are challenging to cultivate. Herb
Horizon brings consumers the highest quality ganoderma (reishi) available
through a partnership with the award-winning Wayon Natural Health Products in
Guilin, China.

How can Ganoderma (Reishi) Improve the Maintenance of Your General Health?

A well-balanced immune system
Ganoderma (Reishi) is one of the most commonly prescribed herbs in Chinese medicine,
and has been shown to encourage the development of a strong immune system. Ganoderma
(Reishi) modulates, or naturally regulates, the immune system to keep it within
the normal, healthy range of functioning. Scientists believe that this modulation
is accomplished by polysaccharides, or Beta-D-glucans bound to amino acids. In
addition to the presence of polysaccharides, ganoderma (reishi) also contains
a substance called lentinan. Lentinan is one of the active ingredients of the
reishi mushroom that is well-known for its immuno-potentiating effects on many
of the cells of the immune system including T cells, B cells, macrophages, and
NK cells. Ganoderma (reishi) also naturally contains calcium, potassium, magnesium
and germanium, all of which are essential components of a well-balanced immune
system. A healthy immune system helps the body ward off all types of viruses,
bacteria and toxins, enabling you to fight everything from the common cold to
ubiquitous bacteria introduced into your body on a daily basis.
Prevention of Alzheimer's Disease and Cardiovascular Disease
Research indicates that the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like
aspirin is linked with decreased risk of Alzheimer's disease and cardiovascular
disease. According to a review of the literature conducted by Stavinoha and Satsangi
at the University of Texas Health Science Center, like non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs, ganoderma (reishi) also has anti-inflammatory properties. Stavinoha and
Satsangi suggest that more research on this finding may very well link the historical
use of ganoderma (reishi) as an herb that promotes long-life and prevents memory
loss, to contemporary scientific theory and testing in the West.
A healthy nervous system
In addition to enhancing the immune system, ganoderma (reishi) is also prescribed
by Chinese herbalists for general calming of the nerves, insomnia, stress reduction,
and nervous exhaustion. It also appears that ganoderma (reishi) can increase endurance,
improving the oxygenation of cells. In fact, it is often used to help climbers
cope with altitude sickness in the mountainous regions of China.
This herb's ability to improve the functioning of the nervous system frequently
leads people to feel that by incorporating ganoderma lucidum (reishi mushroom)
supplements into their daily regimen of healthy food and exercise, they experience
a peaceful state of mind.
Blood Pressure and Cholesterol
According to the RenaiSante Institute of Integrative Medicine, reishi mushrooms
contain triterpene compounds, or ganodermic acids, which are believed to enhance
the reduction of platelet stickiness, and the decrease of LDL-cholesterol, thereby
improving circulation. By inhibiting sympathetic nerve activity, studies indicate
that reishi mushroom extracts can also reduce blood pressure, without causing
sedation or slowing the rate of the heart.

Side Effects:
What are the side effects of ganoderma lucidum?
There are very few side effects from taking ganoderma (reishi), and most people
report that they have experienced no side effects at all. In general, ganoderma
(reishi) is non-toxic, even when used at high therapeutic doses. Allergic reactions
are very rare. However, as with many herbal supplements, mild side effects may
include dizziness, dryness of the mouth, throat and nasal areas, upset stomach
or loose stools. As with any supplements, consumers should communicate their use
of ganoderma (reishi) with their primary health care professionals. When used
at high therapeutic doses, ganoderma (reishi) has the potential to enhance the
effects of the following types of medications, and thus should be discussed with
your health care professional to allow proper patient monitoring:
- Antihypertensive medications
- Hypoglycemic medications
- Anticoagulant medications
Uses and Therapeudic Dosage
For general wellness, health maintenance and prevention of illness, take one
300 mg capsule with meal once per day in the first week. Gradually increase to
two to three capsules per day.
For treatment of chronic illnesses, take six 300 mg capsules each time, three
times a day (no more than 18 capsules a day).
