1. Organic Germanium (Ge): This can increase the oxygen absorbed by the blood up to 1.5 times, can promote metabolism, and prevent tissue degeneration. According to the research of Dr. Kazuhiko Asai, Ganoderma contains 800-2000 p.p.m. of germanium. This is 4-6 more than ginseng.
2. Polysaccharides: These can improve the body's immune system, and eliminate viruses. Japanese pharmaceutical companies have refined it to medical quality and it has been approved by Koseisho Health Department in Japan for insurance medicine.
3. Its bitter taste. It is under constant study by the Japanese medical and pharmaceutical fields. The efficacy is a result of the interrelation of germanium and polysaccharides. Some plants may contain one or the other, but Ganoderma is much more effective. The combination of components is different from other plants and all of the components must be preserved to insure efficiency.
