Reishi Mushroom Extract

DETAILS

The Reishi mushroom (Japanese) or the ‘10,00 year-old mushroom’ - also known scientifically as Ganoderma lucidum, or Ling Zhi in Chinese - has been used for many millennia in Asian cultures, as well as in traditional Chinese and holistic medicine as an adaptogenic herb. A distinctively red and woody mushroom that grows from the side of hardwood trees, it is regarded as a symbol of health, longevity, success and divine power. It is rightfully nicknamed “king of mushrooms/herbs” and remains one of the very few substances that deserves the name of superfood.

The Reishi mushroom contains many bioactive compounds such as:

• Triterpenoids (a type of ganoderic acid) —> suppresses the body’s allergy response and histamine reactions; anti-tumour and metastases-inhibiting (and therefore anti-cancer) by way of limiting the bonding of cancerous cells to endothelial cells; provides protection against microbial, viral, and fungal infections
• Beta-glucans —> plant sterols that act as precursors to hormones in our bodies; anti-cancer by way of blocking the growth and spread of cancer cells and increasing the immune system activity; anti-ageing
• Polysaccharides —> anti-tumour (and therefore anti-cancer) as well as immune-modulating (protective of DNA while preventing cell mutations and preserving healthy cells); antioxidant, neuroprotective, radio-protective, anti-diabetes, anti-osteoporosis, and anti-fatigue; great for longevity and anti-ageing
• Amino acids —> the building blocks of proteins, essential for numerous biological processes and functions

Nicknamed the “Zen/Sleep Mushroom”, Reishi is particularly potent when used for sleep support in general, due to its relaxing or soothing nature. It may help to optimise REM sleep, and may help alleviate the symptoms of insomnia, sleep apnea and other sleep disorders.

Reishi mushroom extract is a great addition to your evening wind-down routine, and can even be taken before a yoga or meditation practice.
