What is Ganoderma Lucidum?

Ganoderma Lucidum is a large mushroom that grows mainly on the trees and fallen logs found in forests in the tropical areas throughout Asia. Its darker color, glossy exterior, and woody texture help to further distinguish this amazing mushroom with healing properties. It is known as the Lingzhi mushroom in China and as the Reishi mushroom in Japan. Ganoderma Lucidum has been used by these cultures for thousands of years and is also referred to as the "King of Herbs" throughout Asia due to its potent medicinal qualities.

There are three main parts of the mushroom that are harvested, each offering amazing health benefits: the Lucidum is the cap part of the mushroom and is harvested at the peak of maturity around 8 months of age; the Spores are the seeds ready to pollinate; and the Mycellium are the network of roots connecting all the mushrooms together in the earth.

Advantages of Our Ganoderma Lucidum Extract

Whatever's Healthy searched the world over to source the finest quality organic Reishi mushroom, grown only in undisturbed forests on logs high in the Wuyi Mountains of China's pristine Fuzhou region.

Build your next masterpiece with the purest and healthiest Ganoderma Extract Powder in the world from Whatever's Healthy! 

100% Organic Certification	Proprietary Patent
Our supplier's plantations have passed Global G.A.P. standards and the organic certifications of the U.S., Japan, China, and European certifying bodies. The only way to ensure your Ganoderma Extract is guaranteed to be free of pesticides, antibiotics, and other harmful chemicals is to purchase Organic certified Ganoderma. Doing so demonstrates your commitment to creating products with only the healthiest ingredients and ensures your products enjoy a distinct advantage in the marketplace.	Not all Ganoderma Lucidum Extract and Spore Powder Extract available on the market is the same. Many companies simply crush the spores to release the healthy properties contained within, destroying a majority of them in the process. Our supplier owns a patented technology for the extraction of Ganoderma Lucidum Spore Powder that properly cracks open the spores to protect the polysaccharides and triterpenoids that are contained within. This provides our final product with a more potent and powerful extract than any other on the market.
Self-Built Plantations	GMP Certified Facilities
Owning almost 70 hectares of self-built Reishi Mushroom plantations, our supplier has complete control over the organic cultivation of this important herb. This insulates them, and us, from potential negative supply chain interruptions, ensuring we can continue to supply our clients year after year.	With modern production facilities featuring air purification up to class 100,000 which meet GMP standards, ISO22000:2005 and HACCP certification, we are able to ensure food safety from farm to your table.
Vacuum Concentration	Vacuum Drying
Our process uses single effect, double effect, and ball-type vacuum concentration, which is much more efficient compared to the traditional concentration methods. It protects the active ingredients at the greatest extent with the advantage of concentrated time and low temperature.	Our process also uses both Spray Drying and Microwave Vacuum Drying methods. Spray drying offers less drying time while creating a uniform fine product with good mobility and high solubility. The Microwave Vacuum Drying method uses a low drying temperature and is highly efficient, both of which can reduce the damage of the active ingredient and improve the quality of heat-sensitive products.
