Study Finds Tissue-Health Benefits of
Pharmanex® ReishiMax GLp®
November 17, 2004 – A prestigious nutrition and health journal recently published a study using
Pharmanex’s ReishiMax GLp®. The study demonstrates the effects of Ganoderma lucidum on
cell proliferation in breast cells. The study yielded results suggesting the Ganoderma lucidum, or
Reishi Mushroom, had a desirable effect on healthy cell proliferation in human breast cells. This
study was in response to a comprehensive review by national and international health
organizations correlating the importance of proper nutrition.
This study suggests that the isolated polysaccharides and triterpenes within Reishi mushrooms
contain healthy proliferation effects through different mechanisms, including by stimulation of the
immune response (polysaccharides) or by the cytotoxic effects. Not only did these mechanisms
prove to be efficacious in human breast cells but previous research has shown similar results in
prostate cells as well.
Previously researchers had difficulty defining the biologically active components in their samples
of Ganoderma lucidum. After purchasing Pharmanex® ReishiMax GLp® powder extract with
cracked-spore technology they were able to use a standardized amount of product thus
enhancing the results of the study.
