The difference between Ganoderma lucidum and Ganoderma lucidum spore powder

Speaking of Ganoderma lucidum, everyone knows that it is a precious medicinal material, and it is also the best health product for daily body conditioning. But do you know about Ganoderma lucidum spore powder? Ganoderma lucidum and Ganoderma lucidum spore powder sound like the same thing, but in fact there is a difference between them. So, what is the difference between Ganoderma lucidum and Ganoderma lucidum spore powder? Are there any differences in the effects and functions of Ganoderma lucidum and Ganoderma lucidum spore powder?

Can friends who have eaten Ganoderma lucidum or Ganoderma lucidum spore powder distinguish between these two things? What is Ganoderma lucidum spore powder? Ganoderma lucidum spore powder is actually the seeds of Ganoderma lucidum. It is both related to and different from Ganoderma lucidum. Well, in order to let everyone know more about Ganoderma lucidum and Ganoderma lucidum spore powder, let’s now see what the difference is between them.

Ganoderma lucidum, also known as Ganoderma lucidum grass, Shenzhi, Zhicao, Xiancao, and Ruicao, is the whole plant of Ganoderma lucidum or Ganoderma sinensis of the Polyporaceae family. Purple Ganoderma has the best medicinal effect. Ganoderma lucidum is native to eastern Asia and is most widely distributed in Jiangxi Province in China. As a precious traditional Chinese medicinal material with thousands of years of medicinal history, Ganoderma lucidum has high medicinal value. Decades of modern pharmacology research by scientific research institutions has confirmed that Ganoderma lucidum has significant therapeutic effects on enhancing human immunity, regulating blood sugar, controlling blood pressure, assisting tumor radiotherapy and chemotherapy, protecting the liver, and promoting sleep.

Ganoderma lucidum spore powder is a health product that may be helpful in improving human immunity, but it does not have therapeutic effects. To date, there is no report that meets the requirements of anti-tumor clinical trials that can prove that Ganoderma lucidum spore oil has anti-tumor or auxiliary tumor inhibition effects.

Ganoderma lucidum spore powder is the seeds ejected and released by Ganoderma lucidum in the late stage of its development, which is biologically called basidiospores. After being concentrated, it becomes powdery and is commonly known as Ganoderma lucidum spore powder. It is very difficult to collect Ganoderma lucidum spore powder in the natural environment. It takes about 100 kg of basswood Ganoderma lucidum to collect 1 kg of spore powder. The diameter of each spore is only 5-8 microns. The spores contain more special ingredients such as polysaccharide peptides, adenosine nucleosides, proteins, enzymes, selenium, etc. than Ganoderma lucidum. Ganoderma lucidum spore powder is far more effective than its parent Ganoderma lucidum in enhancing immunity and inhibiting tumors. Pharmacological experiments have shown that Ganoderma lucidum spore powder has stronger and more comprehensive effects than Ganoderma lucidum fruiting body. It is the essence of Ganoderma lucidum and its medicinal effect is more than 70 times that of Ganoderma lucidum fruiting body. Ganoderma lucidum spore powder can enhance the body's immunity; improve cardiovascular and cerebrovascular functions; lower blood sugar, lower blood lipids to prevent tumors, and increase the effectiveness and reduce the toxicity of tumor radiotherapy and chemotherapy; protect the liver and detoxify, and prevent hepatitis and fatty liver; moisten the lungs, relieve cough and asthma; calm the nerves and improve sleep, etc. If you have to choose between the two, I suggest you buy Ganoderma lucidum spore powder. The Ganoderma lucidum spore powder of Guangdong Pharmaceutical brand is good and is sold in many places. You can also check the Guangdong Pharmaceutical Jianmin website. The prices there should be relatively cheaper.

Many people buy Ganoderma lucidum spore powder, but as they don't know enough about Ganoderma lucidum, they buy some Ganoderma lucidum spore powder at a very low price just to save money. As a result, illegal manufacturers sell them Ganoderma lucidum spore powder instead of Ganoderma lucidum powder. Here I would like to teach you how to distinguish Ganoderma lucidum powder and Ganoderma lucidum spore powder through some simple methods.

Selection steps

1. Taste Difference

Ganoderma lucidum powder tastes very bitter. Pure Ganoderma lucidum spore powder or Ganoderma lucidum spore powder collected under relatively sealed conditions using the sleeve method has no obvious bitterness! The spore powder collected from the surface of Ganoderma lucidum that is not grown under relatively sealed conditions and collected on the operating table tastes slightly bitter, but not obvious. When buying Ganoderma lucidum spore powder at a low price, buyers must try it first. If the Ganoderma lucidum spore powder you bought tastes very bitter, it is because it is mixed with cheap Ganoderma lucidum powder. If the Ganoderma lucidum spore powder has a strong earthy smell, it means that the Ganoderma lucidum spore powder is impure and the ash content exceeds the standard.

2. Color difference

Ganoderma lucidum spore powder is brown powder with extremely fine appearance and no lumps. Gently rub it with your thumb and index finger. If it feels smooth and delicate, without any adhesion, sand or other foreign matter, then it is pure spore powder. Ganoderma lucidum powder is light brown, much lighter than Ganoderma lucidum spore powder.

3. Shape difference

Ganoderma lucidum spore powder is oval in shape and only 4 to 6 microns in size. Take a small amount of Ganoderma lucidum spore powder sample at random and observe it under a microscope (magnification more than 700 times). You can clearly see oval spores without any other shapes. This is pure spore powder. Ganoderma lucidum powder is needle-shaped when observed under an electron microscope. The powder sieved through 200 mesh is 75 microns, which is much coarser than the Ganoderma lucidum spore powder which is 4 to 6 microns.

Precautions

Ganoderma lucidum spore powder is the seeds that are ejected and released from the gills of Ganoderma lucidum during its mature stage. It is an extremely tiny oval reproductive cell, only 4-6 microns in size. It is a living organism and is more suitable for direct absorption by the human gastrointestinal tract. It condenses the essence of Ganoderma lucidum and has all of its genetic material and functions. The amount of active substances it contains, such as Ganoderma polysaccharides, Ganoderma peptides, triterpenes, amino acids, proteins, etc., is 70 times that of Ganoderma fruiting bodies.

The mature fruiting bodies of Ganoderma lucidum have become woody, so they cannot be eaten directly like shiitake mushrooms. They can only be boiled in water, removed the residue, or soaked in wine for drinking. Ganoderma lucidum powder is made from fresh Ganoderma lucidum fruiting bodies that are harvested and matured at the right time, dried, and then crushed and sifted by mechanical equipment. If Ganoderma lucidum powder is processed into coarse powder, it cannot be taken directly. The Ganoderma lucidum powder we often refer to generally refers to superfine Ganoderma lucidum powder, which must be sieved with more than 200 meshes. The larger the mesh number, the finer the Ganoderma lucidum particles are, and the easier it is for the human body to absorb. Therefore, the fineness of Ganoderma lucidum powder is very important and is one of the standards for identifying the quality of Ganoderma lucidum powder.

The usual way to eat Ganoderma lucidum is to make it into powder, that is, Ganoderma lucidum powder. Therefore, the Ganoderma lucidum powder and Ganoderma lucidum spore powder sold on the market are very similar. If you do not understand the difference between Ganoderma lucidum and Ganoderma lucidum spore powder, you are likely to be deceived by merchants, thus affecting the therapeutic effect. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone to understand the difference between Ganoderma lucidum and Ganoderma lucidum spore powder before purchasing Ganoderma lucidum powder or Ganoderma lucidum spore powder.
