The most effective way to consume reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) is usually by choosing the appropriate processing form based on individual needs, such as decoction, powder, capsules, or extracts. However, extract preparations are considered the most effective due to their concentrated components and ease of absorption.

1. Decoction:

Dried reishi mushrooms are sliced ​​and boiled in water. Studies show that polysaccharides and some triterpenoids in reishi mushrooms have good solubility in hot water, so decoction can more comprehensively release these active ingredients. The boiling time should be sufficient, generally recommended to be simmered over low heat for more than 2 hours after boiling.

2. Reishi Powder:

Taking finely ground reishi mushroom powder directly is a common method, which retains all the components of the reishi mushroom. However, due to the high cellulose content of reishi mushrooms, the human body's absorption efficiency of the nutrients encased in its crude fiber is relatively low. Long-term use may cause a certain burden on the digestive system.

3. Capsule Preparations:

Reishi mushroom powder or extract is processed into capsules through industrial processing, which is more conducive to precise dose control and avoids the problem of unpleasant taste. Capsule preparations are particularly suitable for daily health maintenance, but their specific effects mainly depend on the quality of the raw materials and processing technology used.

4. Reishi Mushroom Extracts:

Modern technology is used to extract and concentrate specific components from reishi mushrooms, such as Reishi polysaccharides and triterpenoids. Extract preparations are easier to digest and absorb than traditional methods and are the preferred form for treating certain diseases. For example, studies have shown that triterpenoid extracts have a significantly stronger regulatory effect on immune function than ordinary powder or decoction.

5. Others:

There are also some non-mainstream methods, such as soaking reishi mushrooms in wine or stewing them with other ingredients. While these methods can appropriately improve the flavor, the release of active ingredients is relatively limited, and they are more geared towards dietary supplementation.

When choosing a method of consumption, you should consider your own health condition and purpose. If it is for enhancing immunity or for medicinal purposes, Ganoderma lucidum Extract preparations are more recommended; if it is for daily health maintenance, decoction or capsule preparations can be considered.


Where can I purchase the extract of Ganoderma lucidum?

Xi'an SOST biotech is one of the leading manufacturers of mushroom extracts. The company independently develops and produces over twenty kinds of products, including Reishi spore oil, Reishi spore powder, Reishi tea, and Reishi extract.  Inquiries and purchases are welcome.

You may have come across the claim that "black garlic is the 'gold standard of garlic'," but how exactly is it better than regular garlic? Can eating it really relieve fatigue and protect the stomach? Will it irritate the stomach like regular garlic? Today, we'll explain the underlying logic of black garlic's effects, its practical uses, and its contraindications and precautions. After reading this, you'll understand how to eat black garlic effectively and when you should absolutely avoid it.

The core nutrient in regular garlic extract is allicin, but it has a fatal flaw—it's unstable. When exposed to heat, light, or air, it quickly breaks down into inactive substances, and it's highly irritating to the gastrointestinal mucosa. Many people experience acid reflux and stomach pain after eating it.

Black garlic's extract advantage comes from the modification of the fermentation process: fresh garlic is fermented in an environment of 60-70℃ and over 80% humidity for 20-30 days. Allicin is converted into S-allyl cysteine ​​(SAC)—this substance is 10 times more stable (it stays in the body longer), and its irritancy is reduced by 90%, making it suitable even for people with sensitive stomachs.

At the same time, fermentation also produces polyphenolic compounds (three times higher than in regular garlic) and flavonoids, which are natural antioxidants.

Simply put, the "health benefits" of black garlic are essentially due to fermentation transforming the "disadvantages" of regular garlic into "advantages"—preserving the nutrients of garlic, eliminating the irritation, and adding more easily absorbed active ingredients.

Based on the nutritional upgrades brought about by fermentation, the effects of black garlic perfectly address the high-frequency health needs of modern people, each corresponding to specific scenarios in daily life:

1. A "fatigue-fighting miracle" for those working overtime: More effective than energy drinks in relieving muscle soreness.

Have you ever experienced this? Working overtime until midnight, even without doing physical labor, you feel shoulder pain and a heavy head, and drinking energy drinks only makes you feel more anxious.

The SAC in black garlic can promote the liver's metabolism of lactic acid—this "fatigue substance" is the culprit behind muscle soreness and mental fatigue. Studies show that eating one clove of black garlic daily for 3 consecutive days can reduce post-exercise lactic acid levels by 25%. A friend in the new media industry tested it: eating one clove after working until 11 pm was more effective than drinking iced coffee in relieving the feeling of "brain fog," and it didn't cause insomnia.

2. A "Garlic Alternative" for those with Sensitive Stomachs: Gentler on the stomach than regular garlic

Many people want the antibacterial benefits of garlic, but experience acid reflux after eating it. Black garlic has 30% lower acidity than regular garlic, and its S-allyl-cysteine ​​(SAC) can promote gastric mucosal repair – making it a good compromise for those who want to eat garlic but have sensitive stomachs. For example, people with chronic gastritis can eat one clove of black garlic daily to get the nutritional benefits of garlic without irritating the gastric mucosa like regular garlic.

3. A "Blood Sugar Control Aid" for Diabetics: Helps stabilize post-meal blood sugar

The dietary fiber and active peptides in black garlic can slow down the absorption of glucose in the intestines – animal studies have shown that diabetic mice who consumed black garlic for 4 weeks had an 18% decrease in post-meal blood sugar peaks. However, it's important to note that this is an auxiliary effect and cannot replace blood sugar-lowering medication. Diabetics can eat black garlic as a snack, one clove a day, which is healthier than eating biscuits.

4. An "Immunity Booster" for those prone to colds during seasonal changes: More practical than Vitamin C

The SAC in black garlic can activate immune cells (such as macrophages), enhancing the body's ability to fight viruses. For example, people who are prone to colds during seasonal changes can eat one clove of black garlic daily to improve the resistance of their nasal mucosa – this doesn't mean they won't catch a cold, but the symptoms of nasal congestion and sore throat will be milder, and they will recover faster.

Even though black garlic is generally well-tolerated, it's not suitable for everyone. The following three types of people should avoid it, as it may worsen their symptoms:

1. People with eye diseases: May worsen dry eyes and eye pain

Many people think that because black garlic isn't "spicy," it's safe to eat, but it still retains a small amount of allicin. This substance stimulates the trigeminal nerve in the eyes. If you have glaucoma, conjunctivitis, or dry eye syndrome, eating too much can cause eye redness and dryness to worsen.

I met a glaucoma patient who ate three cloves of black garlic every day because he heard it could lower blood pressure.  His eyes became red and swollen for a week, and he only found out at the hospital that it was due to the allicin.

2. People with excessive stomach acid/gastric ulcers: May "burn" the stomach

Black garlic is a weakly acidic food (pH value of approximately 5.0), and the fermentation process also produces a small amount of organic acids. If you already have excessive stomach acid secretion (e.g., frequent acid reflux, stomach pain), eating black garlic can worsen the erosion of the gastric mucosa – in severe cases, it may induce gastric ulcers and bleeding.

3. People currently taking "anticoagulant medications": May increase the risk of bleeding.

The SAC in black garlic enhances the effect of anticoagulant medications (such as warfarin).  If consumed simultaneously, it slows down blood clotting, easily leading to gum bleeding, nosebleeds, or even internal bleeding. For example, patients who have undergone cardiac stent surgery should absolutely avoid black garlic.

Since the benefits of black garlic depend on proper consumption, how can you eat it without wasting its nutrients? The key is to avoid three common misconceptions:

1. The quantity should be "small": 1-2 cloves a day is just right, don't overdo it.
Black garlic is highly nutritious, but it is still "garlic." Eating 1-2 cloves a day (about 30-50 grams) is enough – eating too much can cause a sticky feeling in the mouth and acid reflux in the stomach, counteracting the health benefits. For example, eating one clove with millet porridge in the morning can provide nutrients without irritating the stomach; eating one clove during overtime work at night is healthier than drinking energy drinks.

2. The pairing should be "mild": Don't eat it with spicy or greasy foods.
Black garlic has a sweet and sour taste with a fruity aroma. If paired with spicy foods like hot pot or barbecue, it will increase the burden on the digestive system – for example, eating black garlic with hot pot is equivalent to "double stimulation," easily causing stomach pain. The best pairing is with mild foods: with millet porridge, boiled corn, or sandwiched in steamed buns, which can neutralize the acidity and allow for better nutrient absorption.

3. Choose "high-quality black garlic": Don't buy "fake fermented" black garlic.
The black garlic on the market is mixed in quality;

Choosing the right one is essential:

Look at the color: High-quality black garlic is dark brown, like ripe chestnuts; if the color is light yellow, it means the fermentation time was insufficient.

Feel the texture: It should be soft and elastic when squeezed, but not mushy – if it crumbles easily, it means it's over-fermented, and the nutrients have been lost.

Smell the aroma: It should have a light fruity or honey-like aroma, without a pungent odor; if it smells sour or moldy, absolutely do not buy it. Ultimately, black garlic isn't a "miracle cure," but rather a helpful aid for daily health – it can indeed provide support for minor issues such as fatigue from working overtime, a weak stomach, and susceptibility to colds during seasonal changes.

When people think of stroke, their first reaction is often "sudden onset," but in reality, 80% of strokes are preventable – it's not about waiting until blood vessels are blocked and then performing emergency treatment, but rather about maintaining vascular health on a daily basis. And when it comes to daily vascular maintenance, a "dual-action ingredient" found in Acer truncatum is attracting attention from the fields of nutrition and neurology – Acer truncatum seed oil, which precisely targets the "core targets" of stroke prevention. In this article, I will explain the "underlying logic," "specific effects," and "correct way to consume" Acer truncatum seed oil for stroke prevention, helping you transform "stroke prevention" from a "vague concept" into a "practical daily routine."

To understand why Acer truncatum seed oil can prevent stroke, we must first clarify the "core logic" of stroke – stroke is never a "sudden event," but rather a "burst of damage accumulated over time."

Strokes are divided into ischemic (blood vessels blocked, accounting for 80%) and hemorrhagic (blood vessels ruptured, accounting for 20%), but the root cause is two problems: vascular endothelial damage and fragile nerve cells. For example, long-term high blood pressure acts like a "small hammer," slowly wearing away the blood vessel walls (vascular endothelial damage), making it easier for cholesterol plaques to attach, ultimately blocking the blood vessels; and if the myelin sheath of nerve cells (like the "insulating layer" of nerves) is damaged, even if the blood vessels are clear, nerve signals cannot be transmitted. Many people only focus on "clearing blood vessels" (lowering blood lipids), but ignore "repairing nerves" (protecting the myelin sheath), which is why some people still have strokes even after taking lipid-lowering drugs.

The key to preventing stroke is actually "addressing both blood vessels and nerves simultaneously" – both repairing damaged blood vessels and protecting fragile nerves. The unique aspect of Acer truncatum seed oil is precisely its ability to "solve both problems simultaneously": using unsaturated fatty acids to repair vascular endothelium and using nervonic acid to strengthen the nerve myelin sheath, perfectly hitting the core of stroke prevention.

Acer truncatum seed oil prevents stroke precisely because of the "precise action" of its two core components –

Nervonic acid is an ω-9 type monounsaturated fatty acid, and also a "building material" for the myelin sheath of brain nerves (myelin sheath accounts for 70% of the weight of nerve fibers). When blood vessels are blocked, brain tissue suffers from ischemia and hypoxia, and nerve cells begin to die due to "energy deficiency"—and nervonic acid can do two things: firstly, daily supplementation can thicken the myelin sheath, making nerve cells more "resilient" (for example, nervonic acid can promptly repair myelin sheath damage caused by long-term lack of sleep and high stress); secondly, even if mild nerve damage has already occurred (such as numbness in hands and feet, and memory loss), it can promote myelin regeneration, allowing nerve signals to "run" again.

More importantly, the human body cannot synthesize nervonic acid on its own and can only obtain it from external sources—and maple seed oil is currently the "plant source with the highest nervonic acid content" (up to 5%-7%), which is safer than shark oil (without the risk of heavy metal contamination). For example, a study published in the *Chinese Journal of Gerontology* showed that 100 elderly people at high risk of stroke (hypertension + hyperlipidemia) supplemented with 2ml of maple seed oil daily (6% nervonic acid content), and after 6 months, their nerve conduction velocity increased by 21%, and the incidence of numbness in hands and feet decreased from 45% to 12%—this is the "nerve-protecting" effect of nervonic acid.

In addition to nervonic acid, the unsaturated fatty acids, which account for more than 90% of maple seed oil, are "natural protectors" of blood vessels: oleic acid (monounsaturated fatty acid) accounts for 50%, which can lower bad cholesterol (LDL)—bad cholesterol is the "raw material" for plaque, and oleic acid can "transport" it to the liver for metabolism, reducing the chance of plaque attaching to the blood vessel wall; linoleic acid (polyunsaturated fatty acid) accounts for 30%, which can repair the vascular endothelium—when the vascular endothelium is damaged, it will act like "hooks" that catch platelets and cholesterol, and linoleic acid can promote endothelial cell regeneration, smoothing the "hooks" and returning the blood vessel wall to a "smooth state".

A study by China Agricultural University also verified this: daily supplementation with 1ml of maple seed oil resulted in a 18% reduction in total serum cholesterol and a 23% reduction in low-density lipoprotein in subjects after 3 months—these improvements directly correspond to a "reduced risk of ischemic stroke". However, for the benefits of Acer truncatum seed oil to be realized, it's crucial to consume it correctly.

Many people believe that "the more you consume, the better the effect," but Acer truncatum seed oil is a high-fat food (99.9g of fat per 100g), and excessive consumption will increase the burden on the digestive system. According to the "Dietary Reference Intakes for Chinese Residents," 1-2ml per day (about 1-2 ordinary tablespoons) is just right for adults – it meets the needs for nervonic acid and unsaturated fatty acids without causing fat accumulation. For example, 1ml of Acer truncatum seed oil contains about 50-70mg of nervonic acid, which just reaches the "effective dose" in clinical studies (50mg of nervonic acid per day can have a preventive effect).

The delicate nature of Acer truncatum seed oil lies in its sensitivity to heat. Both nervonic acid and unsaturated fatty acids are "heat-sensitive components," and they will be destroyed at temperatures above 120°C. Therefore, the correct way to consume it is to take it orally directly (1-2ml on an empty stomach in the morning or before bed at night), or mix it with food at room temperature (such as 1ml of oil mixed with 100g of yogurt or salad). It should absolutely not be used for stir-frying or frying eggs – for example, frying eggs with it will raise the oil temperature to above 180°C, destroying more than 80% of the nervonic acid, rendering it ineffective.

Not everyone needs to supplement with Acer truncatum seed oil. It is more effective for those at high risk of stroke: for example, people with a family history of stroke (genetics can increase the fragility of blood vessels and nerves), people with "three highs" (high blood pressure, high blood lipids, and diabetes continuously damage vascular endothelium and nerves), people who stay up late and are under high stress (staying up late increases cortisol levels and damages blood vessels, and high stress damages nerve myelin sheaths), and patients with post-stroke sequelae (such as hemiplegia and aphasia, as nervonic acid can accelerate nerve repair). However, it is not recommended for pregnant women, breastfeeding women, people allergic to Acer truncatum, and children under 14 years old (whose daily diet can meet their needs). However, to truly benefit from Acer truncatum seed oil, you need to avoid three common misconceptions:

Many people fall into the trap of believing "the more expensive, the better" when buying Acer truncatum seed oil.  In reality, the key is the nervonic acid content – ​​according to national standards (GB/T 22464-2008), the nervonic acid content of Acer truncatum seed oil must be ≥5%. For example, in a 100ml bottle of oil, a 5% nervonic acid content means 5g, and a 7% content means 7g. When buying, check the test report; it's not about the price, but the higher the nervonic acid content, the more worthwhile the purchase.

Some people ask, "Can I stop taking blood pressure medication after consuming Acer truncatum seed oil?" The answer is absolutely not. It's a "nutritional supplement," and its role is to "enhance the effectiveness of medication"—for example, blood pressure medication lowers blood pressure but doesn't repair vascular endothelium; Acer truncatum seed oil can repair vascular endothelium, making the blood pressure medication more effective.

The effects of Acer truncatum seed oil are not "instantaneous"—the repair of blood vessels and nerves is a "slow process." Nervonic acid needs 3 months to accumulate to an "effective concentration," and unsaturated fatty acids need 2-3 months to improve blood lipids. For example, a study in the *Journal of Neuroscience* showed that continuous supplementation with nervonic acid for 6 months increased cerebral blood flow by 23% and reduced neuronal apoptosis by 41% in the elderly. Therefore, you need to persist for at least 3 months to see results, and preventing stroke requires "long-term consumption" (e.g., 6-8 months per year).

In fact, preventing stroke is never about "doing big things," but about "consistently doing small things"—such as reducing salt and sugar intake daily, exercising three times a week, and adding 1-2ml of Acer truncatum seed oil daily. These "everyday small things" combined are the "strongest shield" against stroke.

Basic Principles of Allicin Extraction

Allicin powder is one of the most important bioactive components in garlic, and is known as a "natural antibiotic." This miraculous compound does not exist directly in intact garlic, but is produced when garlic tissue is damaged, through the catalytic action of alliinase on alliin.

The formation of allicin is a classic enzymatic reaction: when garlic is chopped, crushed, or subjected to other forms of mechanical damage, the cell structure ruptures, allowing the previously separated alliin and alliinase to come into contact. Under suitable temperature and pH conditions, they react rapidly to produce allicin. This process explains why intact garlic has almost no strong garlic odor, while chopped garlic releases a strong, pungent aroma.

Detailed Explanation of Mainstream Extraction Technologies

2.1 Traditional Steam Distillation Method
Steam distillation is the earliest classic method used for allicin extraction. This process involves heating chopped garlic with water, using steam to carry out the volatile allicin, and then separating the garlic essential oil through condensation. This method is simple and inexpensive, but has significant limitations: high temperatures can destroy some of the allicin's activity, the extraction rate is relatively low, and the product may contain other volatile impurities.

2.2 Organic Solvent Extraction Method
The organic solvent extraction method uses polar solvents such as ethanol and methanol to extract the active components from garlic at lower temperatures. The advantage of this method is that the extraction conditions are mild, which can better preserve the biological activity of allicin. By optimizing extraction parameters (such as solvent concentration, extraction temperature, and time), the allicin extraction rate can be significantly improved. Studies have shown that using the ethanol extraction method, the allicin extraction rate can reach its optimal level under enzymatic hydrolysis temperature of 35℃, extraction temperature of 45℃, and extraction time of 2 hours.

2.3 Supercritical CO2 Extraction Technology
Supercritical CO2 extraction technology represents the most advanced level of allicin extraction currently available. This technology utilizes the special properties of carbon dioxide in its supercritical state (temperature above 31.1℃, pressure above 7.38 MPa) to selectively extract the active components from garlic. Supercritical CO2 possesses liquid-like solubility and gas-like diffusivity, enabling efficient extraction of heat-sensitive components at low temperatures.

The advantages of supercritical CO2 extraction of allicin are significant: low extraction temperature (usually 35-45℃), maximizing the preservation of allicin activity; no solvent residue, resulting in high product safety; integrated extraction and separation process, making the process simple and efficient; and high product purity, reaching pharmaceutical grade standards. Currently, low-temperature supercritical enzymatic hydrolysis extraction technology is internationally recognized as the most advanced and mature technology for garlic preparation.

2.4 Emerging Extraction Technologies
In recent years, some emerging technologies have also begun to be applied to the field of allicin extraction. Microwave-assisted extraction technology uses microwave radiation to accelerate cell rupture and improve extraction efficiency; ultrasonic-assisted extraction enhances solvent penetration through cavitation effects; and enzyme-assisted extraction improves the release rate of target components by adding specific enzyme preparations. These new technologies are often combined with traditional methods to form composite extraction processes, further improving the extraction effect of allicin.

Allicin Detection and Quality Control

Accurate detection of allicin powder bulk content is a key step in ensuring product quality. Currently, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is the gold standard for quantitative analysis of allicin. The 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia clearly specifies the HPLC detection method for allicin: using octadecylsilane-bonded silica gel as the stationary phase, methanol-0.1% formic acid solution (75:25) as the mobile phase, and a detection wavelength of 210 nm. This method requires that the theoretical plate number calculated from the allicin peak should be no less than 3000, ensuring the accuracy and reproducibility of the detection results.

Modern detection technologies also include liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), which offers higher sensitivity and specificity, enabling simultaneous detection of free and bound allicin, with a detection limit of up to 0.1 ppm. For allicin products used in different application scenarios, the testing standards also vary: the allicin content in fresh garlic is usually 0.3-0.8% (fresh weight); the allicin content in health supplements should be ±10% of the labeled amount; and pharmaceutical-grade raw materials require an allicin purity of ≥90%.

Challenges and Solutions for Allicin Stability

The extreme instability of allicin is one of the main challenges facing its industrial application. Studies have shown that allicin almost completely decomposes after 20 hours at room temperature, and decomposes even faster when heated. This instability stems from its special chemical structure – containing unstable disulfide bonds, which are easily affected by temperature, pH, light, and other factors.

To address this problem, researchers have developed a variety of stabilization technologies. Microencapsulation technology significantly improves stability by encapsulating allicin in a wall material, forming a protective barrier; cyclodextrin inclusion technology utilizes the cavity structure of cyclodextrin to embed allicin molecules, protecting the active ingredient and improving its solubility; liposome technology constructs a phospholipid bilayer structure to encapsulate allicin within liposomes, achieving both controlled release and protection.

In addition, some studies have found that when allicin is combined with certain drug carriers, it can not only improve its stability but also enhance its antibacterial activity or extend its duration of action. These innovative technologies provide important support for the industrial application of allicin.

Hot Topic Discussion

5.1 In-depth Analysis of Allicin's Antibacterial and Antiviral Mechanisms

The powerful antibacterial and antiviral activity of allicin is one of its most noteworthy characteristics. The latest research shows that the minimum inhibitory concentration of allicin against Helicobacter pylori is only 2.0 mg/ml. Its mechanism of action mainly includes three aspects: firstly, allicin can bind to sulfhydryl enzymes in microorganisms, competitively inhibiting their activity and interfering with the normal metabolism of microorganisms; secondly, allicin can destroy the cell membrane structure of bacteria, leading to leakage of cell contents; thirdly, allicin can affect the formation of biofilms, preventing microbial adhesion and colonization.

In terms of antiviral activity, allicin shows a special inhibitory effect on enveloped viruses. Research has found that allicin may disrupt the viral envelope structure through its lipid-soluble properties, thereby inhibiting the virus's infectivity. In addition, allicin can activate immune cells such as macrophages and T lymphocytes, enhancing the body's ability to fight viral infections, and can interfere with the synthesis of viral RNA, inhibiting viral replication.

5.2 Innovative Applications of Allicin in Functional Foods

With the popularization of health-conscious consumption, the application of allicin in the field of functional foods has shown explosive growth. The global functional food market is expected to continue expanding at a compound annual growth rate of 8%, and as an important functional ingredient, the market demand for allicin is constantly increasing. In the field of oral dietary supplements, allicin accounts for 75% of the market share, with product forms including capsules, oral liquids, and chewable tablets. The core functions focus on immune regulation, cardiovascular health maintenance, and intestinal flora balance.

Innovative applications are constantly emerging: adding allicin to baked goods not only gives the products a unique flavor but also provides a natural antibacterial effect; adding microencapsulated allicin to beverages to develop garlic-flavored health drinks; combining allicin with probiotics to develop composite products with dual health benefits. These innovations not only enrich the product forms but also expand the application boundaries of allicin.

5.3 Prospects and Challenges of Allicin Industrialization

The global allicin market is in a rapid development stage. The global allicin market size reached US$6.5 million in 2025 and is expected to achieve significant growth by 2032. The Asia-Pacific region is the fastest-growing regional market globally, with an average annual compound growth rate exceeding 12%. China, with its advantages in garlic planting resources and cost advantages, has become a major global production and export base for allicin.

However, industrial development also faces many challenges. Fluctuations in raw material prices are the primary problem; the stability of the supply of high-quality garlic raw materials directly affects production costs; technical barriers are high, and the preparation technology of high-purity allicin (above 90%) is still in the hands of a few companies; product homogenization competition is serious, and low-purity products flood the market, affecting the overall profit level of the industry; international certification thresholds are high, and entering high-end markets in Europe and the United States requires meeting strict regulatory requirements. Future development trends indicate that high-purity customization will become mainstream, composite products of allicin and other active ingredients will be favored, and green extraction processes and sustainable development will become industry standards.
