Ganoderma Flavonoids

Flavonoids from wild and cultivated Ganoderma species show antioxidant, antimicrobial, and blood sugar-lowering effects. Extracts from cultivated black Ganoderma stems had the strongest antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibition, while caps from cultivated red Ganoderma showed the most potent antimicrobial activity.
