ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method for preventing/slowing aging and/or reducing menopause symptoms in humans by orally administering an effective amount of germination-activatedGanoderma lucidumspores (GLSs) to humans. The treatment for menopause is especially effective in male patients. GLSs are effective as an antioxidant to reduce free radical damage, particularly by increasing the amount of the reduced form glutathione (GSH) and the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. GLSs can also increase testosterone level in blood and improve depression, particularly geriatric depression, in elderly male patients.
