Have you ever been worried that you're consuming too much Ganoderma? Are you holding back on that third cup of Ganocafe Mocha today because the saying "too much of a good thing" just passed through your head? Well, our Customer Care team can attest that you're definitely not alone in this line of thinking as they field numerous calls each week, from people raising the same concern. How much Ganoderma is okay?
As you may know, Ganoderma exhibits itself amongst a unique classification of natural substances called "adaptogens". Coined in the late 1940's, the term adaptogen describes any number of "plant-derived agents that help to adapt the body or protect it from stress". These agents must be non-toxic, produce a non-specific response in the body, and possess a normalizing influence on physiology to fit this classification. But unlike other medicinal herbs, these adaptogens (also referred to as 'tonic herbs') do not show a decrease in effectiveness when consumed daily or on a frequent basis. Many experts suggest that incorporating adaptogenic substances into your regular diet actually helps the body build-up defenses against any number of stressors it might encounter.
Respected author and physician Dr. Andrew T. Weiladdressed this topic in a recent postingon his web site. Dr. Weil, who is believed to be one of the founding fathers of "integrative medicine" (an ideology promoting the fusion of mainstream and alternative medicine into one), discusses how Ginseng and Ganoderma are two adaptogens he frequently recommends to patients. Wouldn't it be interesting to see what Dr. Weil thinks of Gano Excel's Tongkat Ali, which contains both Ginseng and Ganoderma? We can just hear him now... "It's like a cornucopia of adaptogenic superstars".
As with almost everything in life, the practice of moderation is always recommended and results with any product will vary from person to person. Only your trials will tell you what your personal thresholds are with any given product, so obviously let your body be the guide. Just know that Ganoderma is among the elite group of adaptogenic substances that are safe to consume consistently and rarely lose their effectiveness in your body over time. With that, you really should have that third cup of Mocha today... you know you want to!
