Ganoderma by GN Neutriceuticals

Cultivation of ganoderma lucidum in Malaysia was initially attempted by Dr.Teow Sun Soo, the founder of GN Neutriceuticals in 1984 using sawdust in polypropylene or polyethylene bags in sheds under palm oil trees. Subsequently, better hybrids were obtained through cross breeding which only required 40 to 45 days of incubation for its cultivation.

The basidiocarps of ganoderma are sliced and brewed as a tonic or as Ganoderma tea. They may also be powdered or extracted with solvent to yield the finished product which is then made into capsules.

Nowadays, modern research has revealed its active ingredients, which include polysaccharides, organic germanium, triterpenoids, adenosine, LZ-8, and an array of amino acids besides numerous mineral types.

Ganoderma nutriceuticals are used as a remedy to treat more than 20 different illnesses which include migraine and headache, hypertension, arthritis, bronchitis, asthma, anorexia, gastritis, haemorrhoids, hypercholesterolaemia, nephritis, dysmenorrhoea, constipation, lupus erythematosis, hepatitis, leukopenia, cardiovascular problems and cancer including leukaemia.
