You have a "3-High" Problem if your readings exceed these level:

1. Hypertension:
Systolic pressure > 140 mmHg.
Diastolic pressure > 90 mmHg.

2. Diabetes:
Before meals blood sugar level > 6.9 mmol/L.

3. High blood lipid:
Total cholesterol level > 5.2 mmol/L.
LDL-C level > 2.58 mmol/L.
Triglyceride level > 1.7 mmol/L.

--------------------------------------

How does Lingzhi / Ganoderma address these 3 conditions?

1. Reduce LDL and Triglyceride levels and increase HDL level
LDL is considered a "bad" cholesterol. After it brings the nutrients to our body cells, it will stay at the cells and wait for the HDL ("good" cholesterol) to transport it back to our liver. When Lingzhi works to reduce your LDL level, your blood vessels will be cleaner and there is less blockage. When your HDL level is increased, the flow of the nutrients will be smoother as your blood vessels are not blocked.

2. Inhibit HmG-CoA enzyme
This enzyme helps your liver to synthesise more cholesterol. As Lingzhi can reduce this enzyme, it will control the over-production of cholesterol by your liver. This helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

3. Reduce oxidation of LDL-C
When LDL is oxidised, it will become free radicals and can cause your arteries to be thickened, thereby increasing your chances of getting stroke. When the viscosity of your blood is thicker, like mud, it flows slower, and increase your risk of heart attacks. Lingzhi is effective to reduce the oxidation of LDL.

4. Reduce inflammation
Lingzhi slows down the process of hardening of arteries by getting rid of the build-up of plague in your arteries.

5. Inhibit platelet aggregation
Lingzhi prevents platelet from clotting together in certain areas of your blood vessels and hence contribute to lowering your blood pressure level.
