Company Profile
The story begins with one man’s personal interest in combating the debilitating effects of high cholesterol and gout using natural products. Scientist-Inventor and 2005 TOYM (Ten Outstanding Young Men) Awardee Philip Cruz, became interested in the healing potential of mushrooms and started to research on the different varieties known for their effectiveness. One mushroom in particular caught his attention: Ganoderma lucidum, a polypore mushroom found growing on dead logs in the deep forests of the Orient. Known as Ling Zhi by the Chinese and Reishi by the Japanese, this mushroom was so revered in the Chinese Medicine Almanac that at one time it was thought to be an elixir of longevity and was exclusive only to the Emperor and the royal family.
Ganoderma Lucidum
Considered as the elixir of life in the golden ages of China, Ganoderma lucidum is so rare and so precious that it is reserved to the emperors and other high ranking officials of old times. It is one of the most popular herbs in the East Asian countries and its uses extends to almost different systems in the body. Ganoderma Chinese and Korean name “Ling Zhi” is synonymous to “mushroom of herb and immortality”.
It is use as anti- oxidants, anti-cancer, anti hypertension, anti lipids and for treatment of other diseases. Recent studies in vitro also revealed that Ganoderma has demonstrated an anti-HIV protease activity that could be a breakthrough in treating HIV infection.
