Japanese Lingzhi

May contain a dangerous stimulant drug, per the FDA.


BACKGROUND

Japan Lingzhi is a kind of mushroom that is referred to as the “herb of spiritual potency” because of its presumed health benefits and few side effects. But recently, the FDA has put out a warning for diet supplements that contain this substance. While lingzhi itself may offer a host of health benefits, when used as a diet supplement, it also often contains the stimulant sibutramine, an appetite suppressant that acts in a similar way to amphetamines.

Japan Lingzhi diet supplements may come in an array of different products. Some of the more popular are the 2 Day Diet or the 2 Day Diet Japanese Linghzi. Lingzhi may also be referred to as Japanese Reishi. These products have been warned for use by the FDA because of their potential to cause heart problems, heart attacks and stroke.

PRO
  • None to speak of
CON
  • Dangerous side effects associated with diet pill products containing lingzhi
  • FDA warning
  • Any weight loss will be short lived
INGREDIENTS

The ingredients of a product containing Lingzhi will vary. But keep in mind that the ingredient listing of foreign diet products is not always accurate so you don’t know exactly what you are ingesting.

ADMINISTRATION

Dosage instructions will vary according to the product. Lingzhi products come in capsule and tea forms.

DIET and EXERCISE

There are typically no diet or exercise recommendations given while taking Lingzhi-containing diet products.

CONCLUSION

Lingzhi is a kind of mushroom that may offer significant health benefits. But unfortunately, diet products that often contain lingzhi, also contain sibutramine, a dangerous stimulant that has been cited by the FDA for its potential to induce serious and sometimes fatal side effects.

Since the product’s label may not contain the exact ingredients contained in it, it is important to avoid these products all together and instead talk to your doctor about a healthy and safe weight loss plan.
