Ganoderma, or Red Reishi, may help to improve your health. Its biggest medical benefit is the way it strengthens your immune system. It can be considered a preventative medicine instead of a treatment for a specific disease. The ingenuity of Organo Gold to infuse Ganoderma into the second most consumed beverage, Coffee, now allow ALL coffee lovers to indulge knowing there are many more benefits to be gained from consuming Ganoderma Coffee.

Switching from your regular caffeinated coffee to Ganoderma Coffee makes sense due to its ability to improve the function of the immune system. It is said to help the body adapt with many types of stresses such as trauma, sleep deprivation, temperature, psychological stress, infection, radiation, and exposure to toxins. It helps the organisms in the body return to a normal and balanced state after illness.

So what exactly is Ganoderma? Ganoderma Lucidum is the scientific name for a species of red mushroom cultivated and grown wild in Asia for thousands of years. The Reishi mushroom has been expensive and hard to find in large quantities until recently. The Reishi mushroom only grows on one specific tree in Asia. Scientists are now cultivating the mushroom indoors. This mushroom has more than 200 active elements known to improve health.

Ganoderma, acts as regulator that fine-tunes our immune systems. Its main purpose is to detect and neutralize pathogens such as bacteria and other viruses that attack the body.

A compromised immune system can develop viruses, parasites, bacteria and fungi that cause disease. Repeated use of common antibiotics, anti-viral agents, and anti-fungal medications can cause microbes to develop a resistance to the medications prescribed by doctors. Consuming Ganoderma may assist to eliminate these problems. It’s gaining popularity among many as an adjunct to combating the disagreeable side effects of radiation and chemotherapy associated with cancer treatment.

Ganoderma (Red Reishi) has exceptional anti-stress qualities that can help improve memory, reduce tension and sharpen your concentration. It is particularly helpful in the treatment of degenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and dementia, that affects the elderly.

Ganoderma or Reishi has been around for many centuries. Originally consumed by Emperors and Royalty in China as the “miracle herb”, many Westerners have overlooked it until recently.

Some of the many health benefits of Ganoderma are its antioxidant effects on the body, the positive effects on circulatory system and respiratory tract. It has been shown to lower high blood pressure, balance cholesterol levels and reduce the symptoms of bronchitis, asthma and other lung related sicknesses.

Scientists have studied Ganoderma use as a treatment for cancer, insomnia, arthritis, and many other diseases.

Used for years in Japan and China as a licensed medical treatment, Ganoderma is often used for its calming and sedative effects. Researches done in United States, UK, China and Japan have proven the unparalleled benefits of this miracle mushroom when used in healing and holist health.

Some other benefits of using or drinking Ganoderma are:

1. Balances blood sugar levels and pancreatic functions.
2. Protects against skin cell degeneration, improving skins texture and reducing appearance of aging
3. Eliminates toxins accumulated in the body
4. Increases metabolism
5. Reduces fatigue
6. Contains anti-oxidants that inhibit damaging free radicals
7. Helps unclog arteries and supports liver function
8. Boosts energy
9. Improves the digestive system
10. Relieves sinus congestion and other respiratory problems
11. Rejuvenates body tissues and cells
12. Boost all body functions
13. Beautifies the skin by improving vitality
14. Effectively aids in the healing of skin wounds, scrapes, psoriasis, mouth ulcers, external bleeding, bug bits and stings.

Consuming Ganoderma can help your body heal back to a balanced state while rejuvenating your skins youthful appearance. And there are no known side effects! No wonder the Chinese have regarded it for thousands of years as the miracle herb!

We consume at least one cup of coffee per day. How often do we take our vitamins which we know we should? Ganoderma Coffee is certainly something to consider when you evaluate the benefits of Ganoderma and the deficiencies in managing our daily health. Don’t just think about it, it is our health, lets do something about it.


Coffee is a very flavorful, popular beverage that can be exceptionally enjoyable. Expertly brewed coffee or espresso made from freshly roasted coffee beans can make one’s day all that much more enjoyable. Coffee is a great pick-me-up, and is very rich in antioxidants. If you are not a fan of coffee, or just haven’t gotten around to drinking much coffee, read on to learn how to enjoy and appreciate coffee.

Steps

  1. Learn about coffee. Coffee has quite an incredible history and continues to be a source of political, ethical and gourmand discussions today. Knowing more may help to encourage you to try different varieties that you may not have considered before. For instance, did you know that some shade-grown coffee protects biodiversity? And were you aware that coffee is a very rich source of polyphenol antioxidants, and may help to prevent liver cancer and cardiovascular disease? Such facts may spur a new appreciation of this well-loved beverage.
  2. Try all of the different types of coffee and pick the one you like the most. Coffee grown in different parts of the world will have different flavors, aromas, and caffeine content. Some coffee will be perceived as harsh, while other coffee, such as Kona coffee, will be very mild. Larger, fuller coffee beans are generally more prized. The very small pea-berry beans are said to have a lower acid content, and therefore coffee made from them may be easier on the stomach.
  3. Seek out the very best coffee that is available where you live. It may be that once you taste truly excellent coffee, you will realize how truly wonderful coffee can be. Excellent coffee should be made fresh from freshly roasted coffee beans, so try to find a cafe or market that roasts their beans daily, or make your own coffee from freshly roasted beans. For top quality espresso, seek out a cafe that uses the finest espresso machine and employs a skilled barista.
  4. Consider adding some milk, fresh cream, and sugar. This will make your coffee taste milder than having it straight. Depending on your personal tastes, you may like to only have milk, cream or sugar or combine them. One can also add steamed frothy milk (for a latte or cappuccino), chocolate powder, muscovado or raw sugar, and other gourmet ingredients.
  5. Join a coffee club and ask questions. Remember in a coffee environment you will be more encouraged. There are online coffee appreciation societies that you can search for on the internet.
  6. Hang out with the gourmet coffee crowd and in trendy cafes, or find some coffee joints where people like to have a good discussion about intellectual topics. Coffee has historically been used to spur intellectual thought and conversation in social settings.
  7. Coffee is an accquired taste. Starting out with a sweet Mocha Frappuccino, moving onto a latte (coffee made with hot milk), and then a regular steaming cup of the stuff will help you gradually like coffee. That way, you can find what method you prefer, what roast, what company, etc. you like best…slowly.

Tips

  • Like fingerprints, no two beans brands, roasts, or brew methods are the same. French Roast at Starbucks is usually not the same as a French Roast at Joe Mugg’s (or Daily Grind, or whatever your local roaster/coffee shop is) and taking the same coffee and brewing in a home style maker will differ from that same coffee made with a french press, or using it in an espresso maker.
  • Higher quality beans and roasters will yield better coffee, and often the recommended strength can be reduced to make a more satisfying cup (eg. starbucks coffee of the day, try 7/8ths a cup of their coffee of the day, adding the last 8th as hot water to slightly dilute it, or even further to 3/4ths regular and 1/4th hot water..note also dilution is starbucks’ recommended way of changing the taste rather than reducing the amount of coffee used in your brew method.
  • Coffee tastes great. Convince yourself of that fact.
  • Darker coffee beans contain less caffeine because they have been roasted more. Before being roasted, coffee beans are green and contain the most caffeine, but have almost no flavor.
  • You may feel compelled to drink Fair Trade Coffee. This coffee is labelled and certified by the FLO-CERT, FairTrade Labeling Organization Certification. Organizations with this label buy coffee from farmers at fairer price, skipping the middlemen. Or, better yet, look for a “Farm Friendly Direct” label. While there is no international certification for it, the company will most likely be more than willing to prove that they have a long-term, mutually beneficial working relationship with growers. With this concept, thousands of dollars are not wasted on the annual bureaucratic certification of a company and can be returned to the farmers.

Warnings

  • Coffee, while a great source of antioxidants, is not a substitute for a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables, regular exercise and fresh air, all of which have the potential to give you a more natural source of energy.
  • Coffee contains caffeine, which is addictive. Withdrawl symptoms such as headaches and shakiness are common in those that consume excessive amounts and then go without or attempt to cut back.
