Vademecum de Prescripción: Plantas Medicinales. 
Colegio Oficial de Farmacéuticos de Bizkaia 
y la Asociación Española de Médicos Naturistas.

Parte Utilizada

Los cuerpos fructíferos (carpóforos). 

Principios Activos 

Abundantes polisacáridos (45%): beta-D-glucana, arabinogalactanas; ganoderanas A, B y C. Triterpenos: ácidos ganodéricos A, B, C, D, F, H, K, M, R, S e Y; ganodermadiol, derivados del ácido lanostaoico. Esteroides: ganodosterona. Ácidos grasos insaturados: oleico. Prótidos: Ling Zhi-8; glicoproteínas (lectinas). Minerales: germanio, calcio. 

Efectos Secundarios

Inicialmente se puede producir una descompensación en los niveles de glucosa, que se suele normalizar al cabo de unas semanas (véase apartado de precauciones).

Precaución / Intoxicaciones

Cuando se prescriba a pacientes con diabetes, el médico deberá controlar la glucemia para ajustar, si es necesario, las dosis de insulina o de los antidiabéticos orales. Cuando se prescriba a pacientes con dispepsias híper o hipo secretoras, recomendamos su administración postprandial, asociado a tisanas demulcentes (por ejemplo malvavisco, malva o manzanilla).
