How long can ganoderma lucidum extract take to enhance immunity?
The fact that Ganoderma lucidum can enhance immunity has existed for a long time, rather than the special functions temporarily invented in response to the current epidemic prevention and control, but we have always focused on the anti-tumor of Ganoderma lucidum, and ignored that Ganoderma lucidum can also resist virus.
Immunity is the fundamental way to resist virus. When the virus enters the human body, the first line of battle is the immune system. However, how long does glossy ganoderma need to eat to play the role of enhancing immunity?
Professor Lin Zhibin, who has studied Ganoderma lucidum extract for more than half a century, often mentioned a clinical report, the effect of Ganoderma lucidum on the cellular immune function of the elderly, published in the Chinese Journal of geriatric medicine in 1993 in the related article “Ganoderma lucidum enhances immunity”. The data in the report is worth your reference.

Changes of human immune indexes :Ganoderma eating for 30 days + stopping for 10 days
The participants were 30 elderly people with an average age of 65 years, 19 males and 11 females. All of them were healthy physical examinees in the outpatient department. Some of them had common symptoms such as hyperlipidemia or arteriosclerosis, and none of them had used traditional Chinese medicine or western medicine that might affect the immune function within half a year.
They took 4.5g of Ganoderma powder three times a day for 30 days, and took blood samples before, after and during the experiment to check important immune indexes.
Results: the activity of natural killer cells (NK cells) and the concentration of interleukin-2 (IL-2) or interferon – γ (IFN – γ) were significantly enhanced by Ganoderma Lucidum Extract.
The experimental data is expressed as “mean ± standard deviation”
Make the average data of each immune index in the table into a curve, and compare the difference between “one month after eating ganoderma” and “before eating ganoderma”, so as to understand the influence of Ganoderma on immunity more easily:
Specific manifestations of Ganoderma lucidum enhancing immunity
Therefore, this clinical report provides us with several important information:
① Ganoderma lucidum quickly enhances immunity
If you eat Ganoderma lucidum for 10 days at most, you can enhance your immunity.
② Ganoderma lucidum moderately enhances immunity
Ganoderma lucidum enhances immunity, but not indefinitely, so there is no risk of excessive inflammation.
③ Ganoderma lucidum improves immunity fundamentally
When Ganoderma lucidum was stopped for 10 days after eating for one month, its immune function still maintained at a high level, which showed that Ganoderma lucidum was not a cure for symptoms but a cure for the root, fundamentally improving the function of the immune system itself.
④ Ganoderma lucidum boosts weak immunity
The decline of immune function is the most common and obvious feature of aging, so the elderly in the experiment will have better immune function if they eat Ganoderma lucidum, that is to say, Ganoderma lucidum has a way to boost weak immunity. It’s not uncommon to pad up the normal immunity. It can effectively pull up the weak immunity. That’s the real kung fu.
Ganoderma lucidum extract enhances the immune system “Antiviral” capability
After the elderly in the experiment ate Ganoderma lucidum, the concentration of IL-2, IFN – γ and the activity of natural killer cells all increased significantly. These indexes are of great significance to the anti-virus of the immune system:
① Natural killer cell
Virus must hold cells to reproduce, and natural killer cells can identify and kill the infected cells, inhibit the number and spread of virus, and secrete IFN – γ, which is indispensable for anti-virus of immune system.
② Interferon gamma
Interferon γ secreted by natural killer cells and T cells can not only interfere with the replication of virus in cells, but also activate the first-line dendritic cells and macrophages, improve their ability to identify and phagocytize the virus, so that the commander-in-chief T cells can grasp the virus information faster, and start the second and third wave of immune response.
③ Interleukin 2
The IL-2 secreted by T cells, on the one hand, can turn back to stimulate the proliferation of T cells, help them to establish a T cell Corps that can identify the virus, on the other hand, it can activate the first-line natural killer cells and macrophages, on the other hand, it can induce B cells to produce targeted antibodies, and comprehensively snipe the virus.
In the face of emerging viruses, we need flexible immunity, and the key for the immune system to be flexible is the higher concentration of IL-2, IFN – γ and the more active natural killer cells.
Ganoderma lucidum is a shortcut to enhance immunity
The clinical report, published in 1993, is 27 years old. That is to say, Ganoderma lucidum can enhance immunity is a long-standing fact, rather than a special function invented temporarily.Ganoderma lucidum has attracted the attention of modern medicine since it was 30 or 40 years ago because of the enhancement of immunity. It’s just that we’ve been focusing on the anti-tumor effect of ganoderma, almost forgetting that Ganoderma can also resist the virus.The immune response initiated by anti-tumor and anti-virus of the immune system is actually the same set. If you believe that Ganoderma lucidum can fight tumor safely and effectively, then you should also believe that Ganoderma lucidum can fight virus safely and effectively.Whether facing old or new viruses, the most useful “special drug” is our immune system; and the shortcut to enhance immunity is convenient, fast and safe, which is your and my most familiar old friend–Ganoderma lucidum.
