Does Ganoderma spore powder affect menstruation?
Disease description:
My friend gave me a health supplement called Ganoderma spore powder to help strengthen my body, so I've been taking it regularly. However, I noticed that my menstrual cycle became slightly irregular afterward—it was delayed by two days. Can Ganoderma spore powder affect menstruation?

Ganoderma spore powder generally does not affect women's menstrual discharge. However, since Ganoderma spore powder is primarily a health supplement, it is not recommended for women to take it during their menstrual period. The main functions of Ganoderma spore powder include calming the nervous system, benefiting the heart, enhancing vital energy, and strengthening the body and bones. Pharmacological studies have shown that Ganoderma spore powder can enhance immune function, exert antiviral effects, and lower blood lipid levels. However, it does not promote blood and qi circulation, and therefore does not adversely affect menstrual flow.
