Diabetes Care

Compounds from reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) and artist’s conk (Ganoderma applanatum) were found to help manage diabetes by improving insulin signaling and lowering blood sugar. Extracts from both mushrooms increased GLUT4 expression (a key glucose transporter), reduced oxidative stress, and regulated enzymes involved in glucose metabolism.
