Additional information

Chinese literature claims that the Ganoderma lucidum plant is effective in the treatment of various human diseases such as hypertension, bronchitis, arthritis, neurasthenia, hepatopathy, chronic hepatitis, nephritis, gastric ulcer, tumorigenic diseases, hypercholesterolemia, immunological disorders, and scleroderma. While these claims are acceptable in China this is not the case in the West where strict medical evidence is necessary. The purpose of this work has been to identify the structure of the active polysaccharide component of this plant material with a view to investigating the isolated material clinically.
