Red Reishi is commonly known in China as Ling Zhi which means “spiritual potency”. It has variously been called “Miraculous King of Herbs”, the “elixir of eternal youth𔄙, the “herb of immortality.” Reputed to have been used for over 4,000 years in Chinese medicine, it was mainly reserved for use by Emperors and others that were of Royalty.

A number of studies in Japan, the UK, China, and the USA have shown that Reishi mushrooms can produce numerous health benefits. These include but are not limited to:

...extract of Ganoderma lucidum... ...possessed significant antimutagenic activity. The effect... ...on hepatic enzymes, such as serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT), glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT) and alkaline phosphtase (ALP), were also evaluated. The extract prevented the increase of SGOT, SGPT, and ALP activities consequent to B[a]P challenge, and enhanced the levels of reduced glutathione (GSH) and activities of glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT). The extract also profoundly inhibited lipid peroxidation induced by B[a]P. The results revealed that Ganoderma lucidum extract restored antioxidant defense and prevented hepatic damage.
