Ganoderma lucidum has very rich pharmacological components, and dozens of them have been isolated so far, mainly including Ganoderma polysaccharides, Ganoderma acid (triterpenes), adenosine, amino acids, proteins, organic germanium and trace elements. Since the growth environment of artificially cultivated Ganoderma lucidum can be scientifically controlled, its active ingredients are more stable than those of wild Ganoderma lucidum and can be obtained in a short time. However, organic germanium and trace elements are often difficult to produce or even lacking, which is its own disadvantage. Why is it said that thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum can make people rejuvenate and bring back the dead? The key lies in the accumulation of its pharmacological components over time!

Ganoderma lucidum has a great effect in strengthening the body, enhancing immune function and improving the body's resistance. It is different from general medicines that treat certain diseases, and also different from general nutritional health foods that only supplement and strengthen the deficiency of nutrients in a certain aspect. Instead, it regulates the balance of human functions in an overall two-way manner, mobilizes the body's internal vitality, regulates the body's metabolic function, improves the body's immune ability, and promotes the normalization of the functions of all internal organs.
