How much was Ganoderma lucidum spore powder per jin in 2019? What are its effects?
Spore powder is the seed ejected and released by Ganoderma lucidum in its late development stage. In biology it is called a basidiospore. After being gathered together it takes a powder form, commonly known as Ganoderma lucidum spore powder. Collecting spore powder in a natural environment is very difficult; about 100 kg of basswood-cultivated Ganoderma lucidum must be produced to collect 1 kg of spore powder, so you can imagine that the price is very expensive. Then in 2019, roughly how much was Ganoderma lucidum spore powder per jin? What effects does it have?
I. In 2019, roughly how much was Ganoderma lucidum spore powder per jin?
As for how much wild Ganoderma lucidum spore powder costs per jin, according to current market conditions, wild Ganoderma lucidum costs 400-800 yuan per jin, while spore powder costs 380 yuan or more per jin, and better-quality spore powder costs 550-900 yuan per jin.
It is worth noting that the Ganoderma lucidum spore powder industry is very chaotic, and Ganoderma lucidum spore powder is available on the market at every price level. There are kinds costing several hundred yuan per jin, and there are even kinds costing just a few dozen yuan per jin. Identifying such counterfeit and shoddy products is generally not difficult; the product packaging usually has no company, address, telephone number or other such information. There are indeed also some low-cost cultivation methods on the market, such as bag-culture cultivation, a method like growing mushrooms, in which the bags contain cottonseed hulls, which are of very low value. The resulting Ganoderma lucidum spore powder also has a very low active content; possibly 10 grams would not even match the active content of 1 gram from Zhisutang. There is also an even lower-cost Ganoderma lucidum spore powder, which is the residue of Ganoderma lucidum spore powder left after some factories extract Ganoderma lucidum spore oil. This kind of product still contains a small amount of Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides, but the Ganoderma lucidum triterpenes, which are more valuable and more effective, are almost entirely gone.
In terms of cultivation conditions, log-cultivated Ganoderma lucidum is imitatively wild cultivated Ganoderma lucidum; as long as it is given sufficient nutrients, Ganoderma lucidum grows better. Wild Ganoderma lucidum cannot choose its growing environment. Because Ganoderma lucidum has the property of adsorbing heavy metals, if it grows in a polluted area, it is not only of no benefit to the human body, but harmful when eaten.
II. What effects does Ganoderma lucidum spore powder have?
(1) What effects does Ganoderma lucidum spore powder have?
Ganoderma lucidum spore powder has a bidirectional regulating effect on blood pressure. It can effectively dilate coronary artery blood flow, improve microcirculation, increase oxygen supply to the heart muscle, purify the blood, lower cholesterol and neutral fat levels in the blood, prevent and dissolve blood clots in blood vessels, promote blood circulation, have a protective effect against acute myocardial ischemia, and reduce the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. For diseases such as coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure and high blood lipids, it has a relatively good preventive and adjunctive therapeutic effect.
(2) Precautions for taking Ganoderma lucidum spore powder
1. Even though broken-wall Ganoderma lucidum spore powder is absorbed better, the time needed to see effects is still relatively long. After all, Ganoderma lucidum spore powder is a health product, not the same as a medicine.
2. If symptoms such as diarrhea or dizziness occur during use, there is no need to panic. This is the normal “mengxuan reaction”, namely the detoxification phenomenon often referred to in traditional Chinese medicine, and it will subside on its own after a period of time.
3. Taking broken-wall Ganoderma lucidum spore powder requires taking it regularly and in fixed amounts over the long term, so that quantitative change brings about qualitative change and it ultimately plays a role in enhancing immunity and in health preservation and care.
