Hongo Reishi

¿Qué es?

El hongo reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) es un hongo de sabor amargo sin beneficios para la salud comprobados. Se cree que tiene algunos efectos sobre el sistema inmunológico.

El hongo reishi se usa para la enfermedad de Alzheimer, el cáncer, la diabetes, el herpes labial y muchas otras condiciones, pero no existe una buena evidencia científica que respalde estos usos.

¿Qué tan efectivo es?

Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database (La Base Exhaustiva de Datos de Medicamentos Naturales) clasifica la eficacia, basada en evidencia científica, de acuerdo a la siguiente escala: Eficaz, Probablemente Eficaz, Posiblemente Eficaz, Posiblemente Ineficaz, Probablemente Ineficaz, Ineficaz, e Insuficiente Evidencia para Hacer una Determinación.

La clasificación de la eficacia para este producto es la siguiente:

Posiblemente ineficaz para...

  • Niveles altos de colesterol u otras grasas (lípidos) en la sangre (hiperlipidemia). La ingesta de hongos reishi no parece reducir los niveles de colesterol en personas con diabetes o colesterol alto
Existe interés en usar el hongo reishi para otros propósitos, pero no hay suficiente información confiable para decir si podría ser útil.

¿Es seguro?

Cuando se toma por vía oral: El extracto de hongo Reishi es posiblemente seguro cuando se usa hasta por un año. El hongo reishi entero en polvo es posiblemente seguro cuando se usa hasta por 16 semanas. El hongo reishi puede causar mareos, sequedad de boca, picazón, náuseas, malestar estomacal y sarpullido.

Advertencias y precauciones especiales:

Embarazo y lactancia: No hay suficiente información confiable para saber si el hongo reishi es seguro de usar durante el embarazo o la lactancia. Manténgase en el lado seguro y evite su uso.

Trastornos hemorrágicos: Las dosis altas de hongo reishi pueden aumentar el riesgo de hemorragia en algunas personas con ciertos trastornos hemorrágicos.

Cirugía: Las dosis altas de hongo reishi pueden aumentar el riesgo de hemorragia en algunas personas si se usan antes o durante la cirugía. Deje de usar el hongo reishi al menos 2 semanas antes de una cirugía programada.

¿Existen interacciones con medicamentos?

Moderadas
Tenga cuidado con esta combinación
Medicamentos para la diabetes (medicamentos antidiabéticos)
El hongo reishi podría reducir los niveles de azúcar en sangre. La ingesta de hongos reishi junto con medicamentos para la diabetes puede hacer que el azúcar en sangre baje demasiado. Controle de cerca su nivel de azúcar en sangre.
Medicamentos para la presión arterial alta (medicamentos antihipertensivos)
El hongo reishi podría reducir la presión arterial. La ingesta de hongos reishi junto con medicamentos que reducen la presión arterial puede hacer que la presión arterial baje demasiado. Controle su presión arterial de cerca.
Medicamentos que retardan la coagulación de la sangre (medicamentos anticoagulantes / antiplaquetarios)
El hongo reishi podría retardar la coagulación sanguínea. La ingesta de hongos reishi junto con medicamentos que también retardan la coagulación de la sangre podría aumentar el riesgo de hematomas y hemorragias.

¿Existen interacciones con hierbas y suplementos?

Hierbas y suplementos que pueden reducir el azúcar en sangre
El hongo reishi podría reducir el azúcar en sangre. Tomarlo con otros suplementos con efectos similares podría reducir demasiado el azúcar en sangre. Ejemplos de suplementos con este efecto incluyen aloe, melón amargo, canela casia, cromo y nopal.
Hierbas y suplementos que pueden reducir la presión arterial
El hongo reishi podría reducir la presión arterial. Tomarlo con otros suplementos que tienen el mismo efecto puede hacer que la presión arterial baje demasiado. Ejemplos de suplementos con este efecto incluyen andrographis, péptidos de caseína, L-arginina, niacina y ortiga.
Hierbas y suplementos que pueden retardar la coagulación sanguínea
El hongo reishi podría retardar la coagulación sanguínea y aumentar el riesgo de hemorragia. Tomarlo con otros suplementos con efectos similares podría aumentar el riesgo de hemorragia en algunas personas. Ejemplos de suplementos con este efecto incluyen ajo, jengibre, ginkgo, nattokinasa y Panax ginseng.

¿Existen interacciones con alimentos?

No se conoce ninguna interacción con alimentos.

¿Como se usa normalmente?

El hongo reishi ha sido utilizado con mayor frecuencia por adultos en dosis de 1400-5400 mg por vía oral al día, generalmente en dosis divididas. Los extractos de hongos reishi también se han utilizado en dosis más bajas. Hable con un proveedor de atención médica para averiguar qué dosis podría ser la mejor para una condición específica.
