Ganoderma (also call Lingzhi and Reishi) is a large, dark red mushroom with a glossy exterior which is a member of the Polyproraceac family. It is the ONLY known source of a group of Triterpenes, which have a molecular structure similar to steroid hormones. It has the most active Polysaccharides (long "chains" of sugars) among medicinal plant which can improve your body's immune system.

Ganoderma lucidum is one of the treasures of Chinese medicine. Being named as the "fairy herb-The best herb". In both the popular ancient Chinese medical publications, "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" and "Pen-ts'ao Kan-mu" (Compendium of Materia Medica) written respectively in the Han and Ming Dynasties, there were detailed descriptions of the effect of Lingzhi. Contemporary studies further proved its pharmaceutical effects, and confirmed that Lingzhi polysaccharide is the key ingredient to maintain physiological balance and promote immunity. Today, Lingzhi has been formally recognized as a medicine listed in the China state pharmacopoeia. At the same time, Lingzhi has been sanctified by the State as a new food resource. Lingzhi can be served both as food and medicine.

It was considered a good natural healing herbs in Orient, it was very rare and expensive to obtain until recent development of high-density cultivation technique. Ganoderma lucidum, (Lingzhi, Reishi) is rich in organic compounds such as polysaccharide, amino acid, triterpines, ascorbic acid, sterols, lipids, alkaloids, and trace minerals. These compounds are being studied for their effect on the immune system.

Scientific studies find that Lingzhi is rich in effective pharmaceutical nutrition. They can be divided into 10 categories: Lingzhi polysaccharide, polypeptides, 16 types of amino acids (7 of which are indispensable to human), protein, steroid, triterpene, mannitol, coumarin, alkaloids, organic acids (mainly fumarate), and micro-elements, such as Ge, P, Fe, Ca, Mn, Zn, etc. Lingzhi can help to maintain the balance within the body.

Wild Lingzhi

Wild Lingzhi is scarce and suffers from adverse environmental conditions such as insect infestation, lack of proper nutrients, non-optimum temperatures, and lack of humidity. The timing of the harvest cannot be controlled, and the mature Lingzhi has already lost most of its digestible active ingredients. The active ingredients in the dried mushroom may also have lost much of their beneficial biological activity. The 6 different types of Lingzhi (differentiated by colour: red, purple, blue, yellow, black, white) recorded in Chinese pharmacopoeia are actually one species grown under different conditions. In 1972, a Japanese researcher who pioneered the growing of Lingzhi demonstrated that by varying the conditions of growth, Lingzhi of 6 different colours could be grown from the same species.

What is Nutriceutical?

Nutriceutical is especially used to describe the function of Ganoderma which is a naturally occurring food supplement thought to have a medicinal effect on human health.

What is Ganoderma Spores Powder?
Spores (Powder) are seeds that are produced and released by the Lingzhi Plant or Fruit Body once it reaches maturity; usually 5 - 7 months.

The most precious part of Ganoderma is Ganoderma Spore oil. This Spore Powder refers to the seeds of Ganoderma Plant that are released by the Ganoderma Fruit Body once it reaches maturity. Like the pollen of flowers, it contains all the essence medicinal and biological properties.

A spore was found to be more nutrition than that of the Ganoderma Body which is proved by the Scientist. 1000kg Ganoderma can only extract 1kg spore powder. The medicinal value of Ganoderma Spore is much higher than that of Ganoderma Body.

Ganoderma Spore has a tough shell or 'husk', therefore, raw Spore are not easily digested and absorbed by the body system to effect healing. Recent Concord scientific breakthrough allows an effective method to be developed for removing the hard shell of Ganoderma Spore and absorbed by the human body - delivering the full medical value of Ganoderma Spore.

Concord is the ONLY company in Australia who has this technology and can be

successfully broken-open the wall of Spore.

Why is that Spores Powder has so much better than that of the Fruit Body?
Firstly, Spores Powder is endowed by nature that is many times greater than that of the Fruit Body. Secondly, Spores Powder requires no processing, apart from the necessity to break open the Spores outer covering. Spores therefore remains "a natural product" without suffering any loss of its natural curative properties; which as a matter of fact, constitute nature's medicinal formula. As for the Fruit Body, nature has endowed it with less curative power than that of the Spores Powder. Furthermore since it needs to undergo various processing before it could be consumed, it inevitably loses many of the important trace elements, which are essential to assisting in the healing process. Hence, the efficacy of Spores Powder is so much greater.

MAJOR BIO ACTIVE NUTRICEUTICAL COMPONENTS AND THEIR FUNCTION

Since 1970s, numerous studies on Ganoderma have been conducted throughout the world. Scientific studies find that Ganoderma is rich in effective pharmaceutical nutrition and can be divided into 10 categories:

Polysaccharide- a long chain molecule of sugars is responsible for the majority of benefit of Ganoderma which enhances body strength and immune system.
Germanium- increases the metabolic processes.
Triterpenes- regulate the blood
Anti-oxidant, Vitamin B1, B2 and B6, *16 types of amino acids (7 of which are indispensable to human), *protein, *steroid, *mannitol, *coumarin, *alkaloids, *organic acids (mainly fumarate), and *micro-elements- such as Ge, P, Fe, Ca, Mn, Zn, etc.

There has been keen interest in the field of biomedical technology concerning the therapeutic effects of Germanium. Ganoderma contains the greatest amount of germanium. The following list shows the germanium content of each herb: (* P.P.M = parts per million)

*Ganoderma: 900-2200 P.P.M, Garlic: 700 P.P.M, Ginseng: 250-300 P.P.M., Aloe: 75 P.P.M
