Reishi spore oil/Ganoderma Lucidum spore oil is the most advanced form of reishi/Ganoderma Lucidum products. The reishi/Ganoderma Lucidum spore powder with the overall breaking rate approaching 100% is used as raw material. Reishi/Ganoderma Lucidum spore oil, which is more efficient and more convenient to absorb, is extracted by supercritical CO2 extraction technology. 100% reishi/Ganoderma Lucidum essence is more easily absorbed. Only about 20g spores can be collected from 1000g top grade reishi/Ganoderma Lucidum, and only 1 gram reishi spore oil can be extracted from 20g spores.

Reishi spore oil/Ganoderma Lucidum spore oil is believed to have the effects of improving immunity, protecting liver and detoxifying, especially for the adjuvant treatment of tumors and the prevention of tumors. You will also find that the price of spore oil in the market is not cheap and varied, ranging from hundreds to thousands of Chinese RMB. There are many factors affecting the price of spore oil, from raw material cultivation to collection methods, from wall-breaking technology, extraction technology to production process, and each link in the production chain is crucial.

 Functions of the Components in Reishi Spore Oil/Ganoderma Lucidum Spore Oil

1.Triterpenoid such as Ganoderma lucidum acid
Triterpenoid such as Ganoderma acid has strong pharmacological activity, which has the functions of protecting liver, detoxifying, killing cancer cells and analgesic. For example, Ganoderma acid A, B, C and D can inhibit the release of histamine, Ganoderma acid F has a strong inhibition of angiotensin enzyme activity, Ganoderma acid R and S have a strong antiviral capacity
2.Unsaturated Fatty Acids
It can prevent thrombosis and arteriosclerosis, reduce malignant cholesterol, reduce the content of neutral fat in blood and prevent fatty liver. It has the functions of softening blood vessels, purifying blood and eliminating cell free radicals.
3.Organic Germanium
Among the organisms containing organic germanium in nature, Ganoderma lucidum and other fungi are the most abundant. Organic germanium has the functions of lowering blood pressure, diuresis, analgesia and scavenging oxygen free radicals, and can inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells by activating NK cells.
5.Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide
Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide has many pharmacological activities, which can improve immunity, accelerate blood microcirculation, improve blood oxygen supply capacity, reduce the inactive oxygen consumption of the body at rest, eliminate free radicals, improve the closure of cell membranes, resist radiation, improve the ability of liver, bone marrow, blood to synthesize DNA, RNA, protein and prolong life. Most of the pharmacological activities of Ganoderma lucidum are related to Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides.

Two Crucial Factors to Ensure High Quality Reishi Spore Oil

The First Step is to Control from the Source and Ensure Authentic Medicinal Materials.

Reishi Spore Oil: Duanwood Ganoderma Lucidum Cultivation Site

It is well known that the growth of reishi/Ganoderma Lucidum requires extremely high climatic environment, temperature, matrix moisture, oxygen content in the air, light and so on. In order to ensure the content of polysaccharides and triterpenoids, which are the most valuable components of reishi/Ganoderma Lucidum spores, academia has recognized that it is the most suitable way for reishi/Ganoderma Lucidum to be planted under the forest in imitation of wild organic culture, and the best medium is oak basswood. Every well-nourished reishi/Ganoderma Lucidum, as a medium, duanwood will eventually become rotten wood that can not even light fire, which means that nutrients are well absorbed by the mushroom on it. In order to save costs, many businesses on the market use wood chips, cottonseed hulls and even straw as culture media, so that the quality of cultivated reishi/Ganoderma Lucidum is fundamentally not up to standard, and there are obvious differences in quality from the source.

In order to save cost, the spore powder is collected by directly covering the ground with plastic film and then collecting spores with a vacuum cleaner. The collected spores are often mixed with various impurities and soil, and there are a large number of dry and unsaturated residual spore powder. Some merchants even have no production base, they sell old powder which has been deteriorated for many years from the middleman, and because of the imprecise production process, many spore powder often exceed the standard of pesticide residues. The quality problems behind these prices are often invisible to consumers. It is also because consumers do not fully understand, may look at which cheaper to buy, and the effect after taking is not satisfactory.

Technology is the Core to Ensure High Efficiency And Safety Of Reishi Spoil

Reishi spore oil is extracted from shell-broken reishi/Ganoderma Lucidum spore powder, which has two major technical barriers. The first step is to ensure the high shell-broken rate and activity of Ganoderma lucidum spore powder.

Can the workshop ensure that their reishi spore powder is really “shell-broken”?
As for the process of “breaking the wall”, there are many falsification and even hidden dangers for some products in the market. It is known that some companies breaking the cell wall of spore powder through the vibration of metal rods, and in the process of vibration and friction of metal rods, the temperature of spore powder will be greatly increased, even steamed at high temperature, the biological activity of spore powder will be greatly reduced. Even some companies break the walls with chemical solvents, often causing chemical residues.

In order to avoid damaging the quality of reishi/Ganoderma Lucidum spore powder in the process of cell wall breaking, the currently internationally recognized efficient cell wall breaking technology is pure physical cell wall breaking technology at room temperature or constant temperature. The selected spore powder of reishi/Ganoderma Lucidum is placed in a sealed container without any chemical components. Under room or constant temperature conditions, it is completely broken by a series of physical techniques such as vibration, friction and ultrasound, which ensures 100% of the biological activity of Ganoderma lucidum spores. The temperature of this process will be controlled from 20 degrees Celsius to minus 18 degrees Celsius. Each machine can only process spore powder of about 10 kilograms at a time.

Are all claims of “CO2 supercritical extraction” true or false?

The second major technical issue is extraction. Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) is a new separation technology in modern chemical industry. Under constant temperature and high pressure, supercritical CO2 fluid is used to dissolve substances. Extraction speed is fast, non-toxic, solvent-free residues, safe to use, no pollution to the environment. Based on this principle, when carbon dioxide gas is used to contact natural raw materials in supercritical state, the relevant natural components will be dissolved in supercritical carbon dioxide fluid to separate the effective components from the raw materials. By means of decompression or heating, the effective components extracted from supercritical fluid are separated from the separator to obtain high quality active components. Just extracted fresh reishi/Ganoderma Lucidum spore oil, is white emulsion with a large number of bubbles, because there is a lot of CO2 in this state, as long as it is settled for 5 minutes, with the volatilization of CO2, reishi spore oil will become a clear and transparent liquid, that is what we generally see in the market.
