Here is some background on Ganoderma I am sure you will find most
interesting
In China, for over 2,000 years, the mushroom known as Reishi (Ganoderma
Lucidum) has been called “God’s Herb”. Also recognized by its Chinese
name, Ling Zhi, Reishi’s reputation for being effective in treating a wide
range of ailments moved Chinese Emperors throughout the various
Dynasties to order servants to search for wild Reishi mushrooms found atop
distant mountains, believing that the consumption of Reishi would grant
them eternal youth and enhanced health. Because of the mushroom’s
remote habitat and the scarcity of high-quality specimens, the use of Reishi
for medicinal purposes was reserved primarily for royalty and wealthy
individuals. It was not until the late 20th century, that this once-rare plant,
through diligent cultivation by the Japanese, was it made widely available to
the general public.
The original textbook of Oriental medical science, “Herbal Pharmacopoeia”,
was compiled by the founding father of Chinese medicine, Shen Nong (Han
Dynasty, 206 BC ~ 8 AD). In it, the legendary herbalist-emperor
documented 365 species of plants and classified them into three categories:
superior, average and fair. These classifications were based on two main
criteria: its benefits, based on consumption on a continual basis, and side
effects. For those plants graded as “superior”, the power to harmonize the
functions of the body, mind and spirit and the range of ailments they could
treat were greater and broader than those of weaker specimens. In
addition, they had to have little or no long term side effects. Among the
specimens in this class, Reishi was ranked the highest in this classic
medical text, even superior to the well known ginseng.
Over the ages, Reishi has become ingrained in Oriental art and culture because of its prestigious status
in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Since the first Chinese dynasty, paintings, embroideries,
buildings, and sculptures of the gods and immortals have depicted Reishi as a symbol of divinity,
longevity and good fortune. Depictions of Reishi are displayed throughout the Forbidden City and the
Summer Palace in Beijing as a testimony to its value, and the mushroom’s distinctive shape was a
favorite ornamental design feature used by royalty and the wealthy. Even the traditional scepter of the
emperors of China was a stylized Reishi, called a "Ru Yi".
Reishi was further immortalized as the ultimate healing substance and spiritual herb of China in the
classic Chinese fairytale, "The White Snake", wherein a mystical heroine stole a magical Reishi plant
from the gods to save the life of her human lover. The celestial battle for the Reishi rivaled the battles
portrayed in Homer's Iliad and is a story known by virtually every Chinese person.
The Key Types of Reishi
Although there are more than 2000 known species of Reishi, only six kinds have been studied in
greater detail to uncover potential health benefits – red, black, blue, white, yellow and purple Reishi.
Of these six types, black and red Reishi have demonstrated the most significant health-enhancing
effects, and both are therefore widely used in the global health supplement market today.
However,Red Reishi has been proven to be the most effective in improving one’s overall
health by enhancing the immune system, many bodily functions, and vital organs. Six types
of Reishi mushrooms Black Reishi (Ganoderma sinensis), is fairly common and can be found in most
Chinese herbal shops. This species of Ganoderma tends to be unevenly shaped and can measure up to
ten inches in diameter, although most mature specimens are about six inches in diameter.
Ganoderma is rare in the world of natural medicines in that it can be taken long-term without fear of
developing a tolerance to its effects due to Gano Excel's specific manufacturing processes.
There has been no evidence of allergic responses and Ganoderma is an excellent complementary medicine when used
with conventional therapy, providing essential support to the body and facilitating better outcomes.

What is Ganoderma Lucidum?
The Secret Of Asia is now in Australia
Discovering Gano Cafe
The actual taste of a Ganoderma lucidum is quite bland. And although incredibly powerful and healthy for you, the
taste needed to be more desirable. The bland taste led to a small amount of first class, high quality Brazilian Coffee
Beans being added, creating a world first, great tasting health coffee. I am sure you will love the taste anothertest.
Rooibos Tea (a South African treasure) leaves were also added to the Ganoderma lucidum, creating a delicious and
energetic herbal Tea range.
The Gano Cafe range of health beverages refreshes and revitalises the body. Each has their own pleasant aromas,
delicious great taste and huge range of health benefits for you. Results have been phenomenal.
Technical Information
With a background in orchid plantations and an overwhelming interest in traditional medications, Mr. Leow Soon Seng
(Researcher in Mycology) started a research on the various species of mushrooms in Malaysia, in 1983.
He discovered that the climate (28°C-32°C) and humidity in Malaysia are very conducive for Ganoderma cultivation.
After conducting different of tests and experiments, he discovered that Ganoderma Lucidum has the highest
therapeutic value, compared to other types of mushrooms. Although there are 200 species of the plant, only six types
has the greatest therapeutic value. Subsequently, these six species are used to produce Gano Excel's Ganoderma. Mr.
Leow has adopted the tissue culture concept together with the usage of 100% organic elements for the cultivation of
Ganoderma.
He uses paddy husks, brown rice flour and rubber tree scrapes as the medium of plantation. No chemicals, pesticides
or hormones are used in the cultivation. Exposure to sun is also controlled in order to maintain the highest
therapeutic value.
The Ganoderma takes a period of 3 months to mature and the plucking process is closely supervised.
Few countries and companies in the world have been able to produce Ganoderma due to special nature and
conditions required for its growth. In earlier times it used to grow only on old trees and logs in the humid jungles.
Only in 3-4 trees out of 10,000 trees provided the right condition for its growth. So one can only imagine the rarity of
this herb.
Ganoderma Organic Plantation
A proper environment is essential in ensuring high quality Ganoderma production. Gano Excel owns the world's
biggest Organic Ganoderma Plantation in the world which incorporates an environment-friendly concept. The
greenhouse maintains a sophisticated and modern technology, as proper cultivation methods and surroundings are
essential in producing Ganoderma with high-therapeutic value.
Success in growing high quality Ganoderma is rare indeed. While growing itself is a high tech and high investment
oriented, separation of the over 200 nutrients poses more problems. Extraction of the active components requires
high degree of proprietary skills and use of technology. Many of the products available in the market do not
conform to the standards required to obtain the health benefits and one must be very careful about
choosing the right product and company.
Manufacturing
Our Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) factory which has been internationally certified, ensures that Gano Excel
products comply with international standards. Our products are tested to be free from steroids, heavy metals, alcohol
and other harmful elements. A scientific and systematic method of process and production ensures that Gano Excel

Read the Top Ten Reasons why you should consider switching to a "Healthy Coffee".
Top 10 Caffeine-Related Health Problems
Cardiovascular Problems
Caffeine increases your heart rate, elevates your blood pressure, and can contribute to the development of
heart disease. Both decaf and regular coffee increase your cholesterol and homocysteine, the biochemical that
science has linked to increased risk for heart attack. Caffeine is also linked to coronary vasospasms, the cause
for 20% of all fatal heart attacks which kill otherwise perfectly healthy people.
Stress
Caffeine stimulates the excretion of stress hormones which can produce increased levels of anxiety, irritability,
muscular tension and pain, indigestion, insomnia, and decreased immunity. Increased levels of stress from
caffeine can keep you from being able to make healthy responses to the normal daily stress everyone is
subjected to in their lives.
Emotional Disturbances
Anxiety and irritability are hallmark mood disturbances associated with caffeine consumption, but equally
important is depression and attention disorders. Depression may occur as part of the let down after the
stimulant effects of caffeine wears off. It may also appear during the recovery period after quitting caffeine
while the brain's chemistry is readjusted. Caffeine rather than increasing mental activity actually decreases
blood flow to the brain by as much as 30% and negatively effects memory and mental performance.
Blood Sugar Swings
Diabetics and hypoglycemics should avoid caffeine because it stimulates a temporary surge in blood sugar
which is then followed by an overproduction of insulin that causes a blood sugar crash within hours. If you're
trying to loose weight, this rollercoaster will actually cause weight gain since insulin's message to the body is to
store excess sugar as fat.
Gastrointestinal Problems
Many people experience a burning sensation in their stomach after drinking coffee because coffee increases the
secretion of hydrochloric acid leading to an increased risk for ulcers. Coffee, including decaf, reduces the
pressure on the valve between the esophagus and the stomach so that the highly acidic contents of the
stomach pass up to the esophagus leading to heartburn and gastro-esophageal reflux disease. With America 's
high consumption of coffee, its no wonder the best selling over-the-counter drugs are the so-called antacids.
Nutritional Deficiencies
Caffeine inhibits the absorption of some nutrients and causes the urinary excretion of calcium, magnesium,
potassium, iron and trace minerals, all essential elements necessary for good health.
Male Health Problems
Male Health Issues: Coffee is an irritant to the urinary tract and bladder. It is also a diuretic that aggravates
conditions associated with frequent urination. Eliminating coffee and caffeine often relieves symptoms
associated with frequent urination due to enlarged prostate glands.
Dr. Milton Krisiloff, M.D. has found that in the majority of cases, men can significantly reduce their risk for
urinary and prostate problems by making dietary changes which include eliminating coffee and caffeine.
Female Health Problems
Fibrocystic breast disease, PMS, osteoporosis, infertility problems, miscarriage, low birth weight infants, and
menopausal problems such as hot flashes are all exacerbated by caffeine consumption. Women on birth control
pills are particularly at risk since they have a decreased ability to detoxify caffeine.
Adrenal Exhaustion
Caffeine consumption leads to eventual adrenal exhaustion which can leave you vulnerable to a variety of
health disorders related to inflammation, autoimmunity, and fatigue.
Aging
Many people find in their forties that they can no longer tolerate the same level of caffeine consumption as they
could in their twenties and thirties. The production of DHEA, melatonin, and other vital hormones start to
decline and caffeine speeds up that downhill drop. Caffeine dehydrates the body and contributes to the aging of
the skin and kidneys. It has been shown to inhibit DNA repair and slow the ability of the liver to detoxify foreign
toxins.
Exhausted Adrenal Glands:
Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant. It causes the adrenal glands to secrete adrenaline, the hormone
your body depends on in emergencies to elevate your heart rate, increase your respiration and blood pressure
for a rapid flight-or-fight response. When you overuse stimulants, the adrenals become exhausted. If your
caffeine sensitivity has diminished or you're one of those who claims you can drink 3 shots of espresso and go
right to sleep, guess what? Your adrenals have given up responding. This means you have less resistance to
stress, which leaves you vulnerable to health hazards such as environmental pollutants and disease pathogens
Severe Blood Sugar Swings:
Caffeine forces the liver to release glycogen into the blood stream. The pancreas responds to the sudden rise in
blood sugar by releasing insulin, the hormone which causes excess carbohydrates to be stored as fat. Within the
span of an hour or two, the result is a sharp blood sugar drop resulting in a state of hypoglycemia (low blood
sugar). That's when you think it's time for another cup of coffee and the whole cycle starts up again.
Acid Imbalance:
Over 208 acids in coffee can contribute to indigestion and a wide variety of health problems resulting from overacidity associated with arthritic, rheumatic and skin irritations. Many people experience a burning sensation in
their stomach after drinking coffee because coffee increases the secretion of acid in the stomach. Optimal
health calls for an alkaline pH balance in the body.
Essential Mineral Depletion:
Coffee inhibits the absorption of some nutrients and causes the urinary excretion of calcium, magnesium,
potassium, iron and trace minerals, all essential elements necessary for good health. Women need to be
concerned about osteoporosis as menopause sets in. Studies show that women who drink coffee have an
increased incidence of osteoporosis compared to non-coffee drinkers. Men are not immune to osteoporosis
either
These are a number of health conditions for which doctors advise their patients to eliminate coffee
and all caffeine from their diet.
Acid indigestion
Anxiety, irritability and nervousness
Candida or yeast problems
Colitis, diverticulitis, diarrhea and other irritable bowel symptoms
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and other auto-immune disorders
Diabetes or hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
Dizziness, Meniere's syndrome or tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
Gout (Elevated Uric Acid levels)
Heart disease or heart palpitations
High blood pressure
High cholesterol
Insomnia and interrupted or poor quality sleep
Liver disease and gallbladder problems such as gallstones
Kidney or bladder problems including kidney stones
Migraines or other vascular headaches
Osteoporosis
Skin irritations, rashes and dryness
Ulcers, heartburn, and stomach problems such as hiatal hernias
Urinary tract irritation
