The active compounds in Reishi, especially polysaccharose and triterpenes, could improve body’s nonspecific immunity, enhance the immunity of the body cells and body fluids, so as to promote the generation of cellular immune factors, then produce the effect of inhibiting tumor. And also, experiment has confirmed that the active components of Reishi is no direct cell poison effect, but it can enhance the body's anti-tumor immunity, and indirect inhibition of tumor cell growth and induce tumor cells apoptosis, and thus may play a role of anti-tumor.

2. Adjusting immunity

Reishi mushroom extract powder can significantly improve the macrophage phagocytosis index and phagocytosis percentage, and the stronger the activity of macrophages, the higher the body's immunity. Macrophages play an important role in the immune system, not only related to the specific immune, are also associated with the body's nonspecific immune defense mechanism. The phagocytosis of macrophages is the body's mainly defense mechanisms against foreign bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. It is also one of the important mechanism of the anti-tumor effect.

It can strengthen the myocardial contraction force, increase the myocardial contraction amplitude and discharge, improve myocardial cell hypoxia ability. Reishi can also improve the blood circulation in coronary artery, increase coronary artery flow. And coronary artery expansion, can increase myocardial nutritional blood flow and improve myocardial circulation, and can prevent platelet activity, inhibiting platelet aggregation, prevent coronary atherosclerosis plaque formation, improve the function of adrenal cortex, and delay the atherosclerosis plaque, prevent myocardial infarction.

Reishi can also reduce serum lipid peroxidation and obviously increase the activity of erythrocyte superoxide dismutase (SOD), then clear the super oxygen anion free radicals in the body. Tests have been proved that the Reishi could promote DNA synthesis, extend the genetic cell division algebra, prolong the life of cells, so as to slow down the ageing process.

7. Improve Neurological Symptom

Reishi mushroom extract powder has a very good effect to improve nerve function, treatment of neurasthenia and other neurosis.

Specifically, Reishi can improve Insomnia, fatigue, poor memory, concentration, headache, dizziness, tinnitus, bosom frowsty, excitable and other symptoms. Because Reishi contains high content of active polysaccharides, ganoderma acid, adenine nucleoside, adenine, etc.
