Research by Associate Professor Kuniyoshi Shimizu, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Kyushu University, Japan, found that a variety of triterpenoids contained in Ganoderma lingzhi fruiting bodies can inhibit influenza virus, and Ganoderma lingzhi fruiting body hot water extract can also reduce the severity of influenza in mice. These research results provide us with the best reference for how to survive in the cracks between the "influenza" and the "novel coronavirus". Instead of making effort at the last moment, why not be fully prepared from now on?
In 2018, the 9th International Conference on Mushroom Biology and Mushroom Products was held in Shanghai. Dr. Hua Fan from the Free University of Berlin, Germany, gave a report at the meeting and shared the result of the research conducted jointly by her laboratory and Jinsong Zhang’s Team, Institute of Edible Fungi, Shanghai Academy of Agricultural Sciences. The discussion on how a single Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide regulates immune and anti-cancer mechanisms and the analysis on how a single Ganoderma lucidum triterpene inhibits the growth of cancer cells provide the medical potential of Ganoderma lucidum and the prospect of new drugs.

If obesity cannot be suppressed, is there any way to slow down weight gain without suppressing appetite, or even gain weight more healthily? A research report published by a South Korean team in Nutrients showed that Ganoderma lucidum can activate AMPK, a key enzyme in cell energy metabolism, to reduce fat accumulation, improve glucose use and reduce the risk of obesity, fatty liver, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia induced by a high-fat diet (HFD).
In the brand new GANOHERB Biotech Center, Chief Engineer Wu Changhui briefly introduced the functions and equipment technology of GANOHERB's R&D center, testing center, and production center, especially GANOHERB's patented technologies in deep processing of Ganoderma lucidum, and solutions for safe management and control of heavy metals, pesticide residues and mycotoxins in the product processing and circulation process, informing the guests of the excellent production and R&D strength of GANOHERB.
On June 3, the 2nd China Edible Fungus Industry Expo (hereinafter referred to as "Fungus Expo") was officially opened at the Fuzhou Strait International Conference & Exhibition Center. As a leading enterprise in the Ganoderma industry, GANOHERB exhibited trendy drinks such as Reishi latte, Reishi coffee, Ganoderma Lucidum and American Ginseng Tea as well as high-tech products such as Ganoderma Lucidum Spore Oil Softgel and Cell-wall Broken Ganoderma Lucidum Spore Powder at Pavilion No. 10, contending for attention with nearly 300 mushroom companies from all over the country.
In mid-2020, the research teams of Delta University for Science & Technology and Ain Shams University in Egypt joined in publishing reports in "Drug Design, Development and Therapy" and "Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity" proving that Ganoderma lucidum (also called Lingzhi or Reishi mushroom) can greatly reduce liver and kidney injury caused by cisplatin through the triple effects of anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation and anti-apoptosis.
