Eu Yan Sang Lingzhi Cracked Spores Powder Capsules PLUS (60 capsules) has been formulated to provide the benefits of the entire Lingzhi mushroom (灵芝). It contains highly broken Lingzhi Spores and concentrated Lingzhi Sporeophore extract. It is very precious and has therapeutic effects many times more than the Lingzhi. The active ingredients in “cracked” Lingzhi Spores Powder are readily and easily absorbed by the human body than the “uncracked” spores powder.

Eu Yan Sang Lingzhi Cracked Spores Powder Capsules PLUS, formulated with 100% pure Ganoderma Lucidum, is more beneficial in boosting the immune system, strengthening the body's resistance to harmful substances, protecting the liver against damage and improving metabolism and circulation. Regular use will aid digestion, strengthen the respiratory system and the heart, reduce fatigue and improve the quality of sleep.

Did you know?

Procuring the finest Lingzhi spores is difficult as it is produced for only 10 days in a year. Eu Yan Sang solves this problem by using the highest quality mushroom from harvesting farms. In these farms, the Lingzhi are cultivated in optimal climatic conditions using natural wood logs with the right amount of rainfall and a pollution-free environment. Once the Lingzhi has reached their ideal stage of maturity, the Lingzhi mushroom will begin producing powdery spores for a period of 10 days.

Eu Yan Sang Lingzhi Creacked Spores Powder Capsules Plus:

• Supports Immunity
• Relieves Fatigue
• Promotes healthy blood circulation & metabolism
• Supports healthy heart, lungs & digestive function

Quality and Assurance:

• Natural
• No Preservatives
• Vegetarian Friendly

Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi or Ling-zhi), a popular medicinal mushroom, is regarded by the Chinese as “mushroom of immortality”. It is believed that regular consumption of Ganoderma lucidum in the form of tea or mushroom powder can preserve the human vitality and promote longevity¹. Scientific investigations have been conducted to show its anti-cancer, hypoglycemic and immuno-modulating effects. Its bioactive components comprise of triterpenes, polysaccharides and immune-modulatory proteins.

Pharmacological functions:

Anti-cancer function

• Anti-tumour activities are mediated through stimulation of spleen-cell proliferation and expression of cytokines such as interleukins Iand IIand IFN γ. ²
• Β-D-glucan polysaccharides stimulate or modulate the immune system by activation of macrophages and helper T-cells, as well as increase the immunoglobin levels to produce a heightened response to foreign cells. ³

Hypoglycemic function

• Possible mechanism may be due to stimulation of insulin release from the islets directly, through facilitation of Ca²⁺ inflow to the pancreatic cells.⁴

Immuno-potentiation

• Enhanced innate immunity by promoting function of macrophages, B and T lymphocytes, and dendritic cells.⁵

Cardiovascular function

• Inhibit platelet aggregation
• Lower blood pressure (via inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme⁶
