Can Ganoderma lucidum (pills) damage the liver?

I ask this because I feel some liver discomfort. I have started taking them this Tuesday. I am wondering if there is any connection?

I am curious to know how you are certain the discomfort you are feeling is from the liver. Are you a liver-ailment patient already, so you know it when you feel it? I ask because five days is a very short time to feel any side effect, and I was going to say, no, of course this is not liver damage from the pills. But if you have a challenged liver such that you know from the way it feels if an ache or pain in the area is the liver, then maybe it is possible. However, that said, liver damage is not one of the side effects listed for Ganoderma lucidum. Are the pills from a trustworthy source?

I was diagnosed with fatty liver in February this year (the ache I felt today is the same I felt back then) but after that I took diet and silymarin and the fat disappeared. I think it is a trustworthy platform

Sorry if I ve made any mistakes, English is not my native language and thank you for trying to help me

You might be smart, then, to discuss taking the pills with your doctor. He or she should know if there are implications for one's liver. Good luck!

Also, it could be that your liver is aching again but it is not from the Ganoderma lucidum. Be sure to keep that in mind when asking your doctor. It could be from a separate cause and have nothing to do with the pills. As I said, 5 days is a pretty short time for someone to develop a side effect.
