How much is lingzhi powder per jin, when to take it, and how does it compare with sanqi powder?
Lingzhi, also known as lingzhi cao, wood lingzhi, fungus lingzhi, sanxiu and so on, is a rather precious medicinal material in China. It can be ground into powder for consumption and has relatively high edible value. So how much is lingzhi powder generally per jin? When is the best time to take it? And how does it compare with sanqi powder?
Latest price of lingzhi powder:
Prices vary with different brands, raw materials and processes. Take Heshengtang's lingzhi spore powder, for example. It is made from lingzhi harvested from linden wood, 178 yuan/box, 60 grams, so about 3 yuan per gram. For 1 jin, 500 grams, that is about 1500 yuan. Heshengtang's product is wall-broken and carries the little blue hat logo. As for lingzhi spore powder without the little blue hat logo and with a low wall-breaking rate, the price is relatively much lower, ranging from a few dozen to a few hundred. For this kind of health food, I suggest you still buy products from regular manufacturers with the little blue hat logo.
Time to take it:
1. First, around eight in the morning
At six thirty, the best choice is to get up and drink water. This way you can flush out the toxins your body produced over the night, and adding a little honey can also help you detox in the early morning.
At eight o'clock, it is generally about half an hour after you have eaten breakfast. At this time, digestion in the stomach needs a certain amount of water, and the medicinal properties of lingzhi can be well absorbed together with it. It can also help you stay energetic all day, and it is also the time when fatigue relief and absorption are best.
2. The second golden time is around half past one in the afternoon
Depending on your body habits, see when you can make time for a midday rest. After the midday rest ends, it is very suitable to take lingzhi. It can provide energy for your brain for the afternoon's work and study, and it is a very good opportunity to absorb nutrients.
The best time in this period is one and a half hours after a meal. If you eat earlier or later, then this time will still differ and change.
Generally speaking, if you have just exercised or rested, it is best to take it after a short break, so this afternoon time is very suitable for taking it. If you have the habit of drinking afternoon tea, switching afternoon tea to lingzhi is a very good choice.
3. The third golden time is around seven in the evening
The best choice is after dinner, after a one-hour walk. Overall, the best absorption time is within the range of half an hour to two hours, and it is also the period when lingzhi can be absorbed relatively well.
Difference from sanqi powder:
Generally speaking, lingzhi spore powder and sanqi powder can be taken together. The ingredients in sanqi powder and lingzhi spore powder do not conflict, and taking the two together will not cause physical discomfort. On the contrary, it can produce a very good health care effect.
Sanqi powder is warm in nature, sweet and bitter in taste. Its main effects are stopping bleeding and resolving blood stasis, promoting blood circulation and relieving pain, and when cooked it also has a blood-tonifying effect. Lingzhi spore powder is neutral in nature and sweet in taste. Its main effects are tonifying qi and calming the mind, and relieving cough and asthma. Their natures and flavors do not conflict, and their effects do not conflict either, so sanqi powder and lingzhi spore powder can be taken together.
Benefits of taking them together with sanqi powder:
Protecting the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems
Sanqi has a two-way regulating function of promoting blood circulation and nourishing blood. Long-term use can soften blood vessels, lower blood lipids, promote blood health, and effectively prevent various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases;
Lingzhi spore powder can relieve vascular smooth muscle spasms, clear vascular smooth muscle fibrosis, soften atherosclerotic arteries, restore vascular elasticity, reduce blood viscosity, improve blood microcirculation, and protect the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems.
Therefore, taking sanqi powder and lingzhi spore powder together can protect the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems.
