Before we dig into the research, we want to make clear: Gano Excel is in no way claiming that our products cure Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), nor are we encouraging any of you suffering from this brutal disease to disregard your doctor's advice or stop any medications you're currently taking.

This was in addition to Ganoderma's well-known anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting capabilities -- the primary reasons that the mushroom has been a cornerstone of Eastern medicine for over 4,000 years.
