Reishi mushroom, also known as Ganoderma lucidum and
lingzhi, is an adaptogenic herb that grows in various hot and humid locations in Asia.
Reishi mushroom has been scientifically proven to boost the immune system - it may positively influence the genes in white blood cells, a critical component of immune health. This is because it
Reishi mushroom is used for cancer aging, heart health and blood sugar control besides boosting the immune system to prevent or treat infections.
In combination with other herbs, reishi mushroom is used to treat prostate cancer. Also in combination with other ingredients, reishi mushroom may be used for viruses, such as the human papilloma virus (HPV), genital herpes and cold sores.

Boost the Immune
System
One of the most important effects of the reishi mushroom is that it can boost our immune system.

Research in cancer patients has shown that some of the molecules
found in the mushroom can increase the activity of a type of white blood cell
called natural killer cells.
Another study found that reishi can increase the number of other
white blood cells (lymphocytes) in those with colorectal cancer.
Also in one study, this fungus improved lymphocyte function, which
helps fight infections and cancer, in athletes exposed to stressful conditions.
Anti-Cancer Properties
One study of over 4,000 breast cancer survivors found that around 59% consumed reishi mushroom. Some research has investigated if reishi could be beneficial for prostate cancer due to its effects on the hormone testosterone.
Reishi mushroom has also been studied for its role in preventing or fighting colorectal cancer.

Some research showed that one
year of treatment with reishi decreased the number and size of tumors in the
large intestine.
Fight Fatigue and Depression
One study examined its effects in 132 people with neurasthenia, a poorly defined condition associated with aches, pains, dizziness, headaches and irritability.

The researchers found that
fatigue was reduced and well-being was improved after 8 weeks of taking the
supplements.
Another study found that fatigue
was reduced and the quality of life was improved after 4 weeks of taking reishi
powder in a group of 48 breast cancer survivors.
One 12-week study of 26 people showed that reishi mushroom may increase “good” HDL cholesterol and decrease triglycerides.
Blood Sugar Control
Several studies have indicated that molecules found in the reishi mushroom can decrease blood sugar in animals.
