The study, Biologic Activity of Spores and Dried Powder from Ganoderma lucidum for the inhibition of Highly Invasive Human Breast and Prostate Cells, found that ReishiMax had the most potent inhibition against invasive breast and prostate cell proliferation among all the samples. The authors also noted that ResihMax was the only product to identify standardized active constituents. Lastly, the authors showed that cracking spores by mechanistic disruption increased activity by releasing biologically active components. In a recent follow-up study on ReishiMax, researchers from the University of Indiana and the Methodist Research Institute found that ReishiMax may contribute to reducing invasion and metastasis of certain breast cells by inhibiting their adhesion, migration and growth.
