Ganoderma Extract

One of the parents of a kid I cross is trying to push this coffee on me.. Organo Gold. I think it's like the Avon of the coffee world? I was reading the ingredients and it has ganoderma extract In it. I looked it up and I found some sites that swear it's the best of anything you can put in your body, but I found other sites listing horrible side effects, and some that specifically point out to talk to a doctor before taking it if you're pregnant.

Anyone know anything about this stuff?

I'm not going to drink it, but I still want to hear what others know about it.

  • @rodiesmum, I'm really not sure.. It doesn't seem worth it. I take my prenatals, and I don't think I want add another "supplement" to my day. 

    And I really don't want this guy hassling me to be his coffee hustler. Ain't nobody got time to be your pusher!

  • This made me laugh because the football players and chess club members at the school where I work are selling this brand of coffee, tea and hot chocolate. Some of the other teachers have had it and say it's really good. I can't drink any coffee for the remainder of my pregnancy (docs orders) but I was thinking about buying a box and giving it as a gift. I might get the hot chocolate for my husband too.

    My next appointment isn't until the first week of October, so if either of you end up talking to your doctors about it before then could you share the information with me please?

  • @kmfreema I told the guy today that I talked to my doctor and she didn't want me drinking it. He told me it's better for you than regular coffee, and I told him I wasn't comfortable going against my doctor's wishes. He doesn't have to know that I didn't ask my OB about it, instead I asked Dr. Google. 

    But I might ask my OB about it on the 8th when I see her again, just for shits n giggles. BUt let me know what you hear about it too. 

    I still don't have the desire to drink it, because I don't want him hassling me to sell. He seems like he's the pushy type who will keep trying to convince me instead of just accepting my refusal. I just get that vibe, and I don't have the patience.
