ABOUT DXN
DXN Founder
Meet Datuk Lim Siow Jin, the visionary scientist whose lifelong passion for Ganoderma inspired the creation of a global wellness movement.
Datuk Lim Siow Jin
Founder & Chairman, DXN Holdings Bhd.
DXN was founded by Datuk Lim Siow Jin, a distinguished graduate of the renowned Indian Institute of Technology (IIT). With a deep fascination for mushrooms and their impact on human health, Datuk Lim devoted himself to exploring their potential benefits.
After more than two decades of meticulous research and scientific study, he uncovered the remarkable properties of Ganoderma (Lingzhi) and its profound effects on overall wellness. Recognising the importance of this extraordinary herb, he began sharing his knowledge with friends and colleagues who shared his passion for natural health.
Driven by a desire to help more people discover and benefit from Ganoderma, Datuk Lim envisioned a company dedicated to making this "miraculous herb" accessible to the world. In 1993, his vision became reality with the establishment of DXN in Kedah, Malaysia.
Today, DXN stands as a global symbol of wellness, integrity, and opportunity, all rooted in Datuk Lim's unwavering commitment to natural health and scientific excellence.
