Gano Life Is Great For Diabetes

GANODERMA AND DIABETES Aug 16, 2013 | By Henry Pitot Ganoderma lucidum might be effective for diabetic patients. Ganoderma lucidum, or reishi mushroom, has a long history of use in China and Japan as a general promoter of robust health. It has shown efficacy in the treatment of diabetes. However, more research is needed to elucidate Ganoderma lucidum's potential mechanisms of action in mediating hypoglycemic effects. If you have diabetes, you should consult with your doctor to determine if Ganoderma lucidum supplements are right for you. Want to lose weight? Learn more about Gano Life Green Coffee Bean Capsules! INSULIN RESISTANCE X. Zhou and colleagues of Fudan University examined the effect of a water-soluble extract of Ganoderma lucidum on circulating glucose concentrations in mice. The results of their study, published in "The American Journal of Chinese Medicine" in 2007, showed that Ganoderma lucidum can reduce insulin resistance, which would increase insulin sensitivity. It was also found that Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides and triterpenes are the active compounds with anti-diabetic properties. ANTIOXIDANT EFFECTS A study conducted by Hui-Na Zhang, Peking University, and colleagues found that Ganoderma lucidum extract causes blood sugar to lower and repairs alloxan-induced pancreatic cell damage in diabetic rats. It is thought that free radicals generated by alloxan kill pancreatic cells. The analysis of this experiment, published in "Life Sciences" in September 2003, indicated that Ganoderma provides profound protection to pancreatic cells from alloxan-induced oxidative damage. HYPOGLYCEMIC PROPERTIES Yihuai Gao, Massey University, and colleagues have demonstrated the hypoglycemic properties of Ganoderma lucidum. The results of this study were published in "International Journal for Medicinal Mushrooms" in 2004. The anti-diabetic effects of Ganoderma lucidium are likely attributable to its polysaccharide content, says Dr. Gao.
