Reishi mushroom has been called the herb of immortality, the great protector, and the “spirit mushroom”.
For over 2000 years it’s been highly treasured as a profound health and longevity tonic.
In modern times reishi has been the single most scientifically studied herb in the world and the research has confirmed that reishi does indeed have profound health benefits.
Ultimate Immune System Regulator
Reishi is widely considered the most potent herb in the world for enhancing immune system function.
It’s special polysaccharides called ‘beta glucans’ have been shown to increase the production of white blood cells and enhance their function.
The true magic of reishi lies in the fact that it actually helps modulate the immune system to help it achieve an optimal level of function.
In someone with an overactive immune system, such as autoimmune disease, reishi is used to actually down regulate the system to bring it into balance.
Conversely, people with deficient immune systems take reishi and it increases their immune function.
While this immune system enhancing effect does occur with other medicinal mushrooms, reishi is considered the most potent and effective in this regard.
Liver Super Tonic
Reishi has traditionally been considered a potent liver tonic and modern scientific research has confirmed this.
Studies have demonstrated it has a potent liver protective effect against chemical induced damage.
In China and Japan reishi extracts have even been used to treat hepatitis.
In studies on rodents reishi has shown the ability to help the liver regenerate and actually create new cells.
Reishi mushroom is truly one of the most potent liver tonics in the world.
The Spirit Mushroom
The word “Reishi” is actually a Japanese word which roughly translates to “spirit”.
Reishi mushrooms have been highly revered for at least 2000 years in China for their ability to help promote spiritual growth.
It is believed that by helping enhance the immune system and other body functions, an individual who takes reishi feels more protected.
When in this protected state a person is better able to be calm, relaxed, and mindful with a deeper ability to think and introspect.
Many people who take reishi feel that it puts them more at ease but does not cause drowsiness or decreased alertness.
In fact, reishi is used in modern times to enhance mental function where it is believed that the beta glucan content of the mushroom actually fuels brain activity.
Here are 6 reasons why this Reishi Extract is superior to other Reishi products:
1. Whole Mushroom Fruiting Bodies
The vast majority of reishi products on the market are made from what’s called ‘mycellium.’ Mycellium is the portion of the mushroom organism that typically grows underground or in a log. The ‘fruiting body’ on the other hand, grows above ground and is the portion that people are able to see, collect, and consume. The problem with most reishi extracts is that they’re made only with the mycellium that is grown in grain. This means it doesn’t actually contain the portion of the mushroom that has been traditionally consumed for it’s benefits. It’s literally like eating wood from an apple tree when you’re told you’re getting an apple. If you want bioavailable, active constituents then the mycellium products are not what you’re looking for.
The issue with mushroom extracts goes even further. A large portion of the material being extracted is actually the grain the mycellium is grown in. That means the vast majority of mushroom extracts on the market are mostly grain with a little bit of the non-medicinal part of the mushroom. Needless to say, they aren’t nearly as potent as the natural form of the herb which has been revered for centuries.
The Reishi Extract we are offering is an ideal reishi product. It’s made exclusively from whole reishi fruiting bodies and contains NO mycellium and none of the material the reishi was grown on. It’s incredibly rare to find a reishi product like this and the benefits can be seen in its taste, potency, and efficacy.
This product contains no extra binders, fillers, or grains of any kind, just pure, potent Reishi Extract.
2. Standardized to >15% Beta-Glucans
Much of the research done on medicinal mushrooms indicates their primary active compound is something called ‘Beta-Glucans.’ Beta Glucans are a special type of polysaccharide (complex sugar) which is in the cell wall of most every medicinal mushroom. In studies, beta glucans have demonstrated a profound ability to enhance immune system and brain function. This reishi extract is guaranteed to contain over 15% beta glucan content! That means almost a sixth of each dose of this reishi extract is the active ingredient!
3. Red Reishi Grown on Hardwood/Duanwood
There has been extensive modern research to figure out how to cultivate the most potent reishi possible. This research identified that the ‘Red’ variety of reishi was the most potent and contained the greatest concentrations of active constituents.
The research also found that growing on a specific type of hardwood, sometimes referred to as ‘duanwood’, further enhanced the medicinal value of the reishi. Reishi mushrooms get most of their medicinal value from the medium they’re growing in. The special hardwood logs provide more of the compounds that reishi uses to develop it’s active compounds. This again highlights why it’s important to get a reishi product that is not grown on grains.
The Reishi Extract we are offering is in fact red reishi that has been grown on hardwood logs. This means it’s considered the best and most potent variety of reishi available commercially.
4. Dual Extracted
This product as been extracted in the most optimal way to deliver pure, potent Reishi. A dual extract refers to the use of two types of solvents: hot water and organic alcohol. (This product contains no alcohol, it is only used as a solvent.) Reishi contains a multitude of valuable constituents. Some of the constituents are water soluble and can be accesses with water while others are only accessible with the use of a solvent like alcohol. This dual extract contains BOTH which means you’re getting ALL of the amazing beneficial compounds from the cordyceps in a way that is easy to digest and assimilate.
Another benefit of having a dual extract product, is that it’s highly concentrated. This extract is a 16:1 extract. That means it takes 16 pounds of raw Reishi mushroom fruiting bodies to make just 1 pound of finished extract powder. That means this 50g bag is equivalent to almost two pounds of raw material!
5. Price
Typically a premium grade product commands a premium price. Despite the fact that this is a much better product than what most competitors offer, we’re still offering it at a much lower price. I simply want as many people as possible to experience the potent benefits of this amazing herb.
6. Free Shipping From the United States
