Ganoderma 101: Polysaccharides (Part 2 of 5)

Last time in Ganoderma 101, we discussed adenosine, one of the 5 key components that give Ganoderma lucidum its life-affirming benefits. This week we focus on Polysaccharides, the amazing nutrients that are known to help strengthen cell membranes, boost anti-oxidant levels, and cleanse toxins from the body!

Several studies indicate that polysaccharides are important in the prevention of degenerative diseases, regulate digestive health, moderate cholesterol levels, and help maintain healthy blood sugar. Be careful, though: as one article points out, it's best to get your polysaccharides from only the most natural sources. (Good thing Gano Excel's Ganoderma lucidum is 100% organic certified and purity-guaranteed due to our vertical production and distribution methods!)
