Does any one of you tried this red miraculous vitamin called "Ling Zhi"? I tried this 5 years ago at the height of my loosing weight. My sister introduce this red tablet to me and said that her co-workers used this and instantly gain weight. I tried and after a week or so I miraculously gained weight and eat so much than before. I continue take the vitamins for like almost a year but there are side effects that I felt like palpitation of the heart and feels like I take drugs, me head feels floating and feel drunk. After reaching my ideal weight and side effects I felt, I stop using it. For a few months of not taking the vitamins I see myself losing weight and much worse than before.
My dear friends this vitamins is not actually a vitamins. It was suspected to contain steroids, that what makes me look chubby and maybe the reason why my hearts palpitate. After taking it on and off, I finally stop last January 2009 and the result is me now 
. Looking like a corpse and have stomach problem. I think this is one of the reason why I am currently suffering from stomach problem. If you're planning to take this tablet please do not dare. Consult your doctor for the right prescription. Hope you are guided, and to those who took this you can share your experience here. Stay safe!

Hi Laniekins, Ling Zhi is definitely not a vitamin.
It is a kind of mushroom. However, it is a huge and hard mushroom. The taste is very bitter and strong.
Ling Zhi contains powerful antixiodants, not steroids. It is not meant for daily consumption. Only those who have cancer can take it regularly to get rid of the cancer cells.
Chinese herbs are very powerful, and usually not meant for consumption as it is. That is why herbal soup always contain a lot of different herbs in limited amount, so that the strong properties of each herb do not cause adverse effect.
I think you have misuse a very powerful herb, and now suffer the consequence. Hope you get well soon.

If only I have come to know of this and if I am wise enough to research about Ling Zhi then I wouldn't be like this. I think they form it into a capsule, and not tablet (my error) and turn into a vitamins. I've know friends who took this and get fat and eventually stop taking this. I hope I can get through this, thanks for your wishes.

friend, i ALWAYS stay away from anything synthetic, unless it is very necessary.
you are very correct in adding consult your doctor ..... .
these vitamin tablets, while very useful for those who require the supplements, are also dangerous, if taken without the doctor's supervision.
thanks for a nice topic, and very informative too.

there you are. But, even if it is successful in clearing the FDA approval.. it does not mean that it is harmless.
I would always recommend natural food, and fruits as supplements to our daily ration of food. Goodluck
