Modern research shows that Ganoderma lucidum contains many effective components, and dozens of components with good disease prevention and health care effects have been separated, among which the most important components are Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides, triterpenoids, nucleosides, furan derivatives, sterols, alkaloids, amino acids, protein, oils and inorganic ions.

Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide

Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide is a kind of polysaccharide with spiral three-dimensional structure, and its spiral structure is mainly maintained by hydrogen bonds.

Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide exists in the cell wall. Exopolysaccharide secreted by Ganoderma lucidum mycelium exists in the fermentation broth of liquid culture. Scholars at home and abroad isolated 100 kinds of ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides from ganoderma lucidum, and determined their structures and activities. Among them, four kinds of polysaccharides have strong anti-tumor activity, and all of them contain protein. The pharmacological activity of ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide is related to the tertiary spatial structure of polysaccharide, including ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide and ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide protein. It has been confirmed that Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide has the functions of repairing damaged cell membrane, enriching cell membrane receptors, improving cell membrane sealability, improving cell membrane ductility, protecting cells, improving the activity of enzymes such as superoxide dismutase in cells, enhancing organism vitality, improving organism immune function and prolonging life.

Triterpenoids of Ganoderma lucidum are another kind of components with important biological activities extracted from Ganoderma lucidum. Ganoderma lucidum acid is a triterpenoid, and its basic structure consists of several isopentenes, most of which are terpenoids with 30 carbon atoms and some of which are terpenoids with 27 carbon atoms. There are two kinds of ganoderic acid: tetracyclic triterpenoids and pentacyclic terpenes. At present, more than 100 kinds of ganoderic acids have been isolated from various ganoderma lucidum. The content of ganoderic acid in different kinds of Ganoderma lucidum, the same variety of Ganoderma lucidum cultured in different media and the fruiting bodies at different growth stages is different. Ganoderma lucidum is sour and bitter, which is why we use Ganoderma lucidum to boil water and drink bitter. The ventral surface of Ganoderma lucidum fruiting body contains more ganoderic acid. The more bitter and mature the ganoderma lucidum, the higher its quality and the more its acid content. Ganoderma lucidum triterpenoids have many functions similar to ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides, and also have anti-tumor and anti-HIV effects. Ganoderma lucidum acid has a strong pharmacological activity, which has the functions of analgesia, sedation, inhibition of histamine release, detoxification, liver protection and poisoning tumor cells. It is one of the main effective components of Ganoderma lucidum.

Ganoderma lucidum alkaloids, nucleosides and sterols

Although the content of alkaloids in Ganoderma lucidum is small, it is also an important bioactive substance in Ganoderma lucidum. It has the functions of anti-inflammation, improving coronary blood flow, reducing myocardial oxygen consumption, enhancing myocardial and organism hypoxia tolerance, lowering cholesterol, etc., and has certain therapeutic effects on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hepatitis, myasthenia, etc. Ganoderma lucidum adenosine derivatives have strong effects of reducing blood viscosity, inhibiting platelet aggregation in vivo, increasing hemoglobin content and improving oxygen supply capacity of blood, heart and brain. Nucleoside is an essential and important substance for the formation of ribonucleic acid and deoxyribonucleic acid, and it is an extremely important material basis in biological inheritance and information transmission.

Peptides, amino acids, protein and other trace elements.

Peptides and amino acids are the basic substances that make up protein. protein is one of the most important organic substances in biological cells and the most important component in cell structure. Ganoderma lucidum contains a variety of essential amino acids, which has high nutritional and medicinal value. The contents of aspartic acid, glutamic acid, alanine and leucine in the mycelium, fruiting body and spore powder of Ganoderma lucidum are high. Ganoderma lucidum fruiting body contains 18 kinds of amino acids, among which the relative content of essential amino acids for human body is higher than 50%, which is 40% higher than that of ordinary edible fungi.
