The miraculous properties of common lingzhi were known a few thousand years ago; but do you know that through recent scientific studies, it was found that the seed of lingzhi – the spores, is where the essence of lingzhi resides?
Lingzhi Spores
Lingzhi spores are seed-like brown powder released by mature lingzhi, which contain the complete essence of lingzhi. Lingzhi spores are microscopic and not visible to the naked eye. It takes about 1000kg of lingzhi to produce 1kg of spores; hence it’s rare and valuable.
Lingzhi spores are oval in shape with two outer layers: the outer layer is a smoother wall enclosing an inner coarse brownish layer.
Discovery Of Lingzhi Spores
Recent scientific affirmation found that the active constituents contained in lingzhi spores surpass the lingzhi fruit body. This striking discovery was made in the 90s; so why weren’t lingzhi spores discovered earlier, as the consumption of lingzhi dated back over a thousand years?
Due to the short and unattainable spores-releasing period, volatile habitat of wild lingzhi, unnoticeable size of lingzhi spores, in addition to the traditional ways of lingzhi harvest in the past, it was almost impossible to discover lingzhi spores. Hence it was left undiscovered for the past thousand years, and not documented in any Chinese medical records five thousand years ago.
In 1990, with the rapid scientific development, China scientists managed to collect lingzhi spores using advance procedures. According to the research, it was found that lingzhi spores are of higher medicinal value compared to the lingzhi fruit body. This major discovery sparked an all-new advancement in the world of lingzhi.

| Lingzhi Fruit Body | Lingzhi Spores | |
| Completeness | No. Fruit body is just part of the lingzhi plant. | Yes. Spores are seeds, also the essence of lingzhi. |
| Extraction/ Chemical Process |
Yes. | No. it requires no extraction or any kind of processing other than filtering, sterilizing and ultrasound spores cracking method. It involves no chemical processing. |
| Loss Of Medicinal Properties | Yes. Many useful medicinal properties are lost during processing. | No. All the medicinal properties are retained. |
| Efficacy | Less effective than spores. | The highest among all parts of lingzhi. |
| Natural | More processing steps involved. | Less processing steps involved, thus it is more natural. |
| Value | Common. | 1000kg of lingzhi can only produce about 1kg of spores. |

Lingzhi Cracked Spores Powder
All of nature’s living beings have the instinct to protect its offspring. Lingzhi spores have two layers of protective cell wall structure which protects the spores and keep the essential properties unreleased. As uncracked lingzhi spores are hard to be digested and the essential properties within are difficult to be absorbed by the system, the said spores would need to be first broken-open to facilitate the release of the essence for better absorption.
*Research shows that lingzhi cracked spores possess higher consuming value, as uncracked spores will usually be excreted by our body before we could actually digest it.
Spores-Breaking Technique
Techniques to crack lingzhi spores include physical crack, chemical crack and enzymatic separation technique. Yet, the best way to crack lingzhi spores is to go through low temperature ultrasound physical cracking, which is able to retain all the functional properties of lingzhi spores.
What is lingzhi?
Lingzhi, also known as Reishi in Japan and Ganoderma Lucidum as the botanical name, is a family member of edible medical fungi. It was exceptionally well known for its curing properties in ancient China. Coined as “Heavenly Herb”, or the “Blessed Herb”, lingzhi has been known by traditional Chinese medical practitioners to be a valuable nourishing herbal supplement with a great deal of healing properties.
What are the functions of lingzhi?
Honored with the name of “The King Of Herbs”, lingzhi has been well known for strengthening our immune system, enhancing our liver function, regulates cardiovascular system, detoxification, delays the process of aging, enhance blood oxygen level, and improve alertness and vitality.
What is lingzhi spores powder?
The effectiveness of lingzhi is a proven fact; but scientific studies found that the seed of lingzhi – the spores, is where the essence of lingzhi resides. This is because lingzhi will lose some of its functional properties during processing; on the other hand lingzhi spores powder is all natural, and requires no chemical processing, hence retaining all the essential properties. The efficacy of lingzhi spores is believed to be many times higher than the lingzhi fruit body.
Who is suitable to take lingzhi spores powder?
Basically, everyone who wishes to improve their health is suitable to consume lingzhi spores powder. Besides, many research papers have shown the positive human health effects of lingzhi spores powder consumption.
Can pregnant ladies take lingzhi spores powder?
Lingzhi spores powder is the seed of lingzhi and it is definitely safe for general consumption, including pregnant ladies. However, pregnant ladies are encouraged to communicate or consult the physicians prior to taking any form of health supplements.
What are the differences between lingzhi spores powder and regular lingzhi products?
Lingzhi spores powder is the spores, or the seeds of lingzhi, while other regular lingzhi products mostly consist of the grounded fruit body, or mycelium. Scientific affirmation found that the active constituents contained in lingzhi spores surpass the lingzhi fruit body. The efficiency of lingzhi spores is believed to be many times higher than the lingzhi fruit body!
What are cracked spores?
Spores and seeds naturally contain an outer layer of protective cell wall structure. If the layer is not broken, spores and seeds are hard to be digested and absorbed by the human body. So the spores would need to be first broken to facilitate the release of the essence for better absorption after consumption. There are many techniques to crack lingzhi spores. Yet, the best way to crack lingzhi spores is to go through ultrasound physical cracking, which ensures spores’ broken rate at 95% and above. This process is done under low temperature control, thus ensuring that all the medical properties or trace elements are sustained!
Can I combine lingzhi spores powder with other health supplements?
Lingzhi spores powder comes in as a catalyst, booster, or enhancer, as it further enhances the functions of other health supplements. This is because of the organic germanium found in lingzhi spores will increase the oxygen absorption in our blood. With sufficient blood oxygen, all the physiological and cellular mechanisms including digestion, nutrient absorption and detoxification could be enhanced.
What is Organic Germanium?
Germanium is an active ingredient in garlic, aloe, comfrey, chlorella, ginseng, watercress, shelf fungus (which is a variety of Reishi mushroom), Shiitake mushrooms, pearl barley, and sushi. The germanium content in Ganoderma Spore is relatively high and it’s estimated to be 6 times higher than that of ginseng. The organic form of germanium in fact is a type of potent antioxidant and oxygen catalyst.
How can lingzhi spores increase my blood oxygen level?
In its organic form, each atom of germanium is bonded to three atoms of oxygen, making it an efficient carrier of oxygen. The germanium acts as a carrier, facilitating the movement of oxygen across cellular membranes to get oxygen inside the cell. Thus, germanium’s ability to improve the efficiency of oxygen utilization at the cellular level could be of significant benefit. Flooding cells with oxygen may retard the growth of cancer cells, or even help to return them to normal.
What are the other active ingredients in lingzhi spores?
Other than Germanium, lingzhi spores also contain Polysaccharides and Triterpene Compound Nucleoside Compound, in addition to protein, 17 types of amino acids, alkaloids, soy protein, sterols, coumaric essence, glycoside, vitamins, enzymes, and 13 essential minerals. It is indeed the treasure house of essential properties that are crucial and invaluable to human health.
After taking lingzhi spores, I feel that my body is heaty.
Lingzhi spores are neither heaty nor cooling. The effect is a symptom of the healing process, or generally known as the vertigo effects, while our body system is being regulated. Continue to consume and drink more water, or fruit juices.
