Prof. Wasser explains the key differences between Ganoderma Tsugae var Jannieae and other species: “I can only tell you that our mushroom is very important. We know exactly the chemical composition. We know our mushroom contains good amounts of compounds with antioxidants, radical scavenging, immunodulating, liver protecting properties”. “It can be a good source for producing natural drinks that can induce alertness and energy without caffeine because it contains a high amount of triterpenes and phenolic compounds that play an important role in alertness and energy; steroidal compounds that have anti-inflammatory effects as well as increased cellular function and metabolism. These compounds enhance oxygen absorbing capacity resulting in alertness and stamina”.
