Ganoderma spore powder has liver-protective, anti-cancer, and blood-lipid-lowering effects.

The protective effect of Ganoderma lucidum spore powder on liver damage caused by D-galactosamine: the test mice were administered by gavage (g) and intraperitoneal injection (p). Functional ALT activity increased significantly, cells showed balloon-like swelling and punctate necrosis, liver damage was severe, and the mortality rate of the test mice was high, which was significantly different from the normal saline control group.

When D-galactosamine and Ganoderma spore powder were used at the same time, compared with the normal saline control group, no mice died, and half of the mice's liver pathological examinations tended to be normal. Although there is still a difference in ALT activity compared with the control group, it has been significantly reduced compared with the single-use group (Plt; 0.05). It shows that Ganoderma spore powder has obvious antagonistic effect on liver damage caused by D-galactosamine.

Extended information

Identify whether Ganoderma spore powder is broken:

Structurally, the double-layer shell of Ganoderma spores is made of very chitinous spore walls. The hard, hard inner shell tightly surrounds all the active ingredients inside the spore, which are mainly triterpenes and polysaccharides. The human body absorption rate of unbroken spores is low, so only broken spore powder can be easily absorbed by the human body.

There is a very simple method. The wall-breaking effect can be clearly observed with a microscope of more than 400 times: take a small amount of the spore powder to be identified and place it on a glass lens, and then observe it under the microscope. You can clearly see that the Ganoderma spores are in the shape of melon seeds. The shell of the broken spore powder was obviously broken into fragments.
