Ganoderma has been known for centuries. Studies in Japan have found that reishi mushroom has the ability to improve blood flow and lower oxygen consumption in the heart. Similar studies in the US have shown similar results, showing that a series of acids from the compound triterpenes, and a group of other natural compounds have been shown to regulate blood pressure, lower cholesterol and prevent Platelet adhesion (blood clots). Similar research in Russia also concluded that Ganoderma lucidum has the ability to prevent plaque buildup on artery walls.
