Red Reishi Mushroom

Also known as Lingzhi (mushroom of immortality) and the Queen of mushrooms, Reishi is one of the most popular herbal supplements available today. With thousands of years of traditional use and scientific studies to back it, Reishi has earned its spot as one of the most beneficial mushrooms and herbs known to man.

Once only reserved for use by royalty, Reishi was so highly prized that it can even be found painted on imperial art works and embroided onto imperial clothing from ancient China. Thankfully, it is easily accessible today and can be cultivated with relative ease in controlled environments that helps boost the production of beneficial compounds such as ganoderic acid, beta(1-3)glucans, immunomodulary protein LZ8 and triterpinoids, while combating issues related to overharvest and exploitation of bio-diversity from potential over-harvest for commercial markets and financial gain, as seen with Ophiordyceps sinensis.

Our products are made Reishi antlers. This means that the Reishi used is grown in a high CO2 environment which increases the production of certain beneficial compounds mentioned above. We also keep the spores on the mushrooms since they have been shown to contain numerous health benefits.
