Educational summaries of published research on Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi) fruiting body and mycelium, including studies in general populations and in patients receiving conventional medical treatment; these are not product-specific claims. CanPrev Reishi Full Spectrum's own label claims are the uses authorized under NPN 80125024: a source of fungal polysaccharides with immunomodulating properties, a source of antioxidants, and use in Herbal Medicine as a liver tonic and adaptogen. This page does not suggest this product treats, prevents or cures cancer or any other disease.
A 12-week trial found Reishi beta-glucans increased immune cell counts in children
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in children aged 3 to 5 in Medellín, Colombia, daily yogurt fortified with Ganoderma lucidum beta-glucans for 12 weeks significantly raised peripheral blood total lymphocyte counts (CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+ T cells) compared to placebo, with no abnormal changes in liver enzymes and over 90% adherence.
Human RCTA trial in football players found Reishi helped stabilize a key immune marker during altitude training
In a 28-day randomized trial using a 'living high-training low' altitude protocol, football players taking Ganoderma lucidum capsules showed less disruption of their CD4+/CD8+ T-lymphocyte ratio - a marker of cell-mediated immune balance - than players given a placebo under the same hypoxic training stress.
Human RCTA 12-week study monitored immune markers in patients taking Reishi polysaccharides
In 41 evaluable patients taking oral Ganoderma lucidum (5.4 g/day) for 12 weeks, researchers observed trends toward increased mitogenic lymphocyte reactivity, CD3/CD4/CD8/CD56 cell counts, interleukin-2/6 and interferon-gamma, and natural killer cell activity, though the changes did not reach statistical significance versus baseline.
Human clinical studyA Cochrane systematic review found Reishi improved tumour response when added to chemotherapy or radiotherapy
Pooling data from five randomized controlled trials, this Cochrane review found patients given Ganoderma lucidum alongside chemotherapy or radiotherapy were more likely to show a positive tumour response than those given conventional treatment alone, and reported improved quality-of-life scores in four of the trials, while cautioning that evidence does not yet support Reishi as a first-line cancer treatment on its own.
Systematic review / meta-analysisReishi polysaccharides reversed lab-measured immune suppression caused by cancer patients' own blood plasma
Blood plasma from lung cancer patients suppressed activation markers (CD69, perforin, granzyme B) in laboratory-cultured lymphocytes; adding Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides partially or fully reversed this suppression, a laboratory finding researchers suggested may help explain how the compound interacts with cancer-related immune changes.
Human clinical / ex vivo studyA pilot trial found Reishi spore powder eased fatigue during breast cancer endocrine therapy
In a randomized pilot trial of 48 breast cancer patients experiencing fatigue during endocrine therapy, four weeks of Ganoderma lucidum spore powder significantly improved physical well-being and fatigue-subscale scores, alongside less anxiety and depression and better quality of life, with no serious adverse effects reported.
Human RCT (pilot)A Reishi proteoglycan protected kidney cells from oxidative damage in a diabetes model
A water-soluble proteoglycan (FYGL) isolated from Ganoderma lucidum reduced reactive oxygen species, lipid peroxidation and inflammatory signaling while boosting antioxidant enzyme (SOD) activity in kidney cells exposed to high glucose, and improved kidney function and antioxidant status in diabetic mice over 8 weeks.
Animal / in vitro studyReishi's polysaccharides and triterpenoids raised antioxidant capacity and immune markers in a feeding study
Chickens fed Ganoderma lucidum spore powder or spent mushroom substrate (rich in the same polysaccharides and triterpenoids found in the fruiting body) showed increased antioxidant capacity, serum antibody titres and cytokine levels, with researchers identifying several immune-signaling genes mediating the effect.
Animal studyReishi-fermented extracts sharply increased free-radical scavenging activity in laboratory assays
Polysaccharide and triterpene extracts from Ganoderma lucidum fermentation increased DPPH, ABTS and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity by over 900% versus baseline in laboratory antioxidant assays, and reduced inflammatory cytokine expression in cultured macrophages without harming cell viability.
In vitro studyReishi fermentation extracts protected mouse livers from alcohol-induced injury
Mice pretreated with alcoholic extracts of fermented Ganoderma lucidum before a binge-ethanol feeding model showed significantly lower liver-enzyme elevations, reduced hepatic fat buildup and inflammation, and improved gut-barrier integrity and microbiota balance compared to untreated mice.
Animal studyReishi extract reduced liver enzyme elevations after acute alcohol exposure in rats
In rats given an acute ethanol dose, treatment with Ganoderma lucidum extract significantly reduced the alcohol-induced rise in the liver enzyme ALT and improved antioxidant enzyme (SOD, catalase) activity, supporting a protective effect against acute alcohol-related liver stress.
Animal studyReishi polysaccharides eased drug-induced liver injury in mice via an antioxidant signaling pathway
In mice given an overdose of acetaminophen, Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides reduced oxidative liver damage and cell death, working in part by activating the Nrf2 antioxidant signaling pathway - at the highest tested dose, the protective effect outperformed a reference liver-protective drug.
Animal studyA controlled crossover trial in adults with borderline high blood pressure or cholesterol tested Reishi's metabolic effects
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial, 12 weeks of Ganoderma lucidum lowered plasma insulin and insulin resistance versus placebo and improved triglycerides and HDL-cholesterol in the first treatment period, though blood pressure and BMI were unchanged and carry-over effects limited the analysis.
Human RCT (crossover)A Cochrane review found limited evidence that Reishi improves cardiovascular risk factors in type 2 diabetes
Reviewing five randomized trials in people with type 2 diabetes, this Cochrane review found Ganoderma lucidum was not associated with statistically significant improvements in HbA1c, cholesterol, blood pressure or BMI, concluding current evidence does not yet support its use specifically for treating cardiovascular risk factors.
Systematic review / meta-analysisA review maps how Reishi may support cardiovascular health across several disease models
Summarizing preclinical research on Ganoderma lucidum and the cardiovascular system, this review describes favourable effects on LDL, HDL, total cholesterol, blood pressure and oxidative-damage markers, with protective effects observed in diabetic, myocardial-hypertrophy and alcohol-induced heart-toxicity animal models.
ReviewReishi spore pretreatment protected rat hippocampal neurons in an Alzheimer's-related model
Rats pretreated with Ganoderma lucidum spore for 3 weeks before a streptozotocin-induced brain-injury model (used to study Alzheimer's-related processes) showed reduced oxidative-stress markers, better-preserved energy metabolism, and improved spatial learning and memory versus untreated rats.
Animal studyReishi extract eased cognitive impairment linked to seizure activity in a rat epilepsy model
In a pentylenetetrazole-kindling rat model used to study epilepsy-related cognitive decline, daily Ganoderma lucidum extract improved memory and learning-test performance, reduced seizure severity, and lowered oxidative-stress and neuron-loss markers in the hippocampus compared to untreated rats.
Animal studyA Reishi polysaccharide extract protected rat brain cells from oxygen-deprivation injury in the lab
Cultured rat cerebral cortical neurons exposed to hypoxia and reoxygenation showed improved cell viability, lower oxidative-damage markers, and higher antioxidant enzyme (Mn-SOD) activity when treated with a Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide extract, pointing to a possible antioxidant mechanism behind the mushroom's traditional neuroprotective reputation.
In vitro studyResearchers isolated six previously undescribed Reishi triterpenoid compounds
Chemical analysis of Ganoderma lucidum fruiting bodies identified six new lanostane-type triterpenoids alongside 21 known related compounds, expanding the catalogued chemistry of the mushroom's signature ganoderic-acid-family constituents, though these particular new compounds showed no significant anti-inflammatory activity in a lab macrophage assay.
Phytochemistry studyA novel lab technique identified a specific protein target of Reishi's ganoderic acid compounds
Using a magnetic-bead affinity fishing technique, researchers identified the ribosomal protein RPS3 as a direct molecular binding target of Ganoderma lucidum's ganoderic acids in liver cells, with surface plasmon resonance confirming concentration-dependent binding - a mechanistic step toward explaining how these triterpenes exert their biological effects.
In vitro / mechanistic studyA review maps how Reishi's beta-glucans and triterpenoids act on the immune system
This review describes how Ganoderma lucidum's beta-glucans bind the dectin-1 receptor on immune cells to trigger cytokine-producing signaling cascades, while its triterpenoids separately inhibit several viral enzymes in laboratory studies - two distinct bioactive-compound families working through different mechanisms.
ReviewA 2026 review surveys Reishi's full range of studied bioactive compounds and applications
This comprehensive review catalogues Ganoderma lucidum's polysaccharides, triterpenoids, sterols and phenolic compounds, summarizing proposed mechanisms across immune modulation, antioxidant defence and traditional liver-supportive use, while also surveying its expanding role in functional foods and nutraceuticals.
ReviewA review traces what's known about Reishi spore polysaccharides, from structure to health applications
This review of Ganoderma lucidum spore polysaccharides summarizes how different extraction and purification methods affect their structural characteristics and reported antioxidant, immunomodulatory, cardiovascular and hepatoprotective bioactivities, noting this remains an active and still-developing area of research.
ReviewA review maps how extraction method shapes the structure and activity of Reishi's polysaccharides
Surveying preparation methods (hot water, ultrasound, microwave and enzyme-assisted extraction) for Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides, this review found their reported antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immune-regulating activities can vary with how they're extracted and purified, structure-activity relationships the authors say still need further clarification.
