Organic Reishi Mushroom extract is processed by hot water extraction into a fine powder suitable for encapsulation or beverages.
It's used 100% pure Reishi Mushroom, no added fillers, starch, grains or mycelium. Reishi mushroom also named Lingzhi mushroom.
> The lingzhi mushroom is a polypore mushroom belonging to the genus Ganoderma. Its red-varnished, kidney-shaped cap gives it a distinct appearance. When fresh, the lingzhi is soft, cork-like, and flat. It lacks gills on its underside, and instead releases its spores via fine pores.[1]
Reishi mushroom extract is used as a tonic and a sedative. It is useful in chronic fatigue syndrome, diabetes, liver disorders, hypertension, arthritis, and nervous exhaustion. It has a strong antihistamine action that can help control allergies. Reishi mushrooms can also lower cholesterol, prevent blood clots, help prevent the growth of tumors, and increase the body's ability to fight unwanted invaders.
Medicinal mushroom extracts have been around for years, but Life Extension has taken our extract to the next level. While other extracts are standardized to polysaccharides only, our Reishi Extract Mushroom Complex has been standardized for triterpenes and includes spores. The result is a full-spectrum mushroom extract whose components have been shown to enhance the protective activity of the body's hematopoietic stem cells, T-cells, and other critical immune factors. Reishi’s triterpenes, polysaccharides, and other constituents assist activation of the cell surface receptors that modulate normal immunity.
Reishi mushrooms have also been shown to support the production of antioxidant enzymes including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and glutathione. These antioxidants work to support the body's natural immune defenses against free radicals.
