Reishi Extract

Reishi (Ganoderma Lucidum) is known as the mushroom of immortality. Traditionally used in Daoism by monks in meditation and alchemy to support mental clarity and calmness. Red Reishi is a most prized tool among functional mushrooms in Eastern medicine. Grown over several months, it presents a range of active compounds such as triterpenes and polysaccharides which are actively sought after.

Reishi extract comes in liquid (tincture) or powder form. Extract powders typically have a higher concentration of active compounds and for convenience we also offer our extract powder in a capsule pill form.

Our capsules are made from Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose. They are Vegan & Gluten Free 00 size and contain approximately 540mg of extract powder per capsule (~50g per 90).

Reishi has a strong and complex bitter taste making it a challenging ingredient to incorporate into food and drinks.

Medium Coffee with low bitterness is a popular choice. Whilst other strong flavours such as smoothies, cocoa are suitable when taking small doses.

The fine spray dried particles dissolve almost effortlessly when mixed into liquid.

Where can I find research studies on the medicinal use of Reishi extracts?
