The coix seed, known to us, is much more than just about "dispelling dampness and dispersing swelling".

 

 

On Chinese dining tables, coix seed has always been a common ingredient.

 

During summer, the essential coix seed and red bean soup, or the coix seed congee... Coix seed has been a part of our diet for over a thousand years.

 

The ancient text "Compendium of Materia Medica" records its benefits: fortifying the spleen and boosting the stomach, supplementing the lung, clearing heat, dispelling wind, and eliminating dampness; while the "Chinese Pharmacopoeia" states that it has a sweet and cool nature, enters the spleen, stomach, and lung meridians, and is used mainly to disinhibit water and percolate dampness, fortify the spleen to arrest diarrhea, eliminate arthralgia, promote suppuration, and resolve toxicity and lumps.

 

In summary, its main effects are "dispelling dampness" and "fortifying the spleen". Recent studies have confirmed that coix seed also has anti-inflammatory, diuretic, anti-hyperlipidemia, anti-hypertension, and antioxidant effects[1].

 

With so many benefits, how can we better absorb its effects? Hence, GanoHerb Coix Seed Oil Softgels were born."

 

 

What are the stronger benefits of coix seed oil?

 

 

The extraction of coix seed oil from coix seeds endows the traditionally "spleen-fortifying and dampness-dispelling" coix seed with a broader and more potent pharmacological effect.

 

Coix seed oil, the primary extract and active ingredient of coix seeds, contains coixenolides, coixols, various amino acids, abundant vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, making it nutritionally rich.

 

Today, various studies have confirmed the health benefits of coix seed oil. Research published in "China Oils and Fats" has also shown that coixenolides mainly enhance spleen lymphocyte proliferation and delayed-type hypersensitivity, elevate serum hemolysin levels, enhance antibody production capacity, and NK cell activity, thus enhancing immunity[2].

 

What Sets GanoHerb Coix Seed Oil Apart? It uses "National Geographic Indication Product" - Pucheng Coix Seed. Its authentic quality originates from its unique local environment. Pucheng's distinctive geographical and climatic conditions produce plump, nutritious Pucheng Coix Seed.

 

The soil rich in magnesium and nickel elements is conducive to the formation of coixenolides.

 

How to extract high-concentration coixenolides? Here, a patented technology is employed, namely supercritical CO₂ extraction and purification technology, characterized by zero solvent residue. Each 100 grams of coix seed oil produced contains ≥85 grams of coixenolides, ensuring purity and excellent absorption.

 

 

Clean excipients reassure consumers. The excipients only include gelatin, glycerin, and vitamins, with no other additives.

 

 

The support of scientific research ensures better quality. In 2012, GanoHerb participated in an international cooperative project on "The Efficacy and Anti-cancer Activity and Mechanism of Ganoderma and Coix Seeds", which helped to upgrade product development.
