Ganoderma Lucidum dates back over 4,000 years in Chinese and Japanese texts.These ancient generations prized this simple red mushroom for its medicinal properties. In 2838 BCE, Shen Nong, considered to be the father of Chinese agriculture and medicine, documented Ganoderma Lucidum as the most valuable herb in his paper, The Four Canons.
Emperors and nobility consumed teas and other concoctions made of this mushroom for vitality and long life. In fact, the First Emperor of China, Shi Huangdi, is said to have called this mushroom the "Herb of Deathlessness" or Lingzhi ( a combination of the Chinese words "Ling" and "Chih").

Lingzhi is classified as a Superior Herb in Shen Nong Bencaojing, an ancient Chinese Herbal Text and one of the most important medical books of its time dating back over 2,400 years. The Shen Nong classifies 365 kinds of herbal supplements into its phamacopoeia and then breaks them down into three categories:120 as Superior; 120 as Average and 125 as Fair. A "Superior Herb" is defined as one that "serves to maintain life, promote radiant health and long life because of its normalizing action, and to cause no side effects, even when used continuously."
In a recent study by the Tang Center for Herbal Medicine Research at the University of Chicago ("Safety and Tolerability of Ganoderma lucidum in Healthy Subjects: A Double-Blind Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trial"), it was proven that Ganoderma lucidum does not have a negative impact on those who take it regularly. Analysis of electrocardiograms, complete blood counts, blood chemistry analysis and urinalysis revealed no negative impact as compared to those participants who were given a placebo. While the researchers are careful to note that a more long-term study needs to be undertaken - and we at Gano Excel certainly invite it - it does appear that "The Miraculous King of Herbs" means you no harm!
