Reishi Extract Plant Description
Called the mushroom of immortality in ancient China, Lingzhi, Reishi Ganoderma lucidum, Reishi is the most revered herb in all of Classical Chinese and Japanese medicine. Used daily as a tonic in ancient China and Japan, modern research has focused on the use of Ganoderma lucidum Reishi extracts for immune support and supporting liver health.
Reishi is one of the most widely researched supplements in Asia, with most of the research centering on three actions: hepatic support, immune modulation and cardiovascular support. Research has also shown that Reishi extracts can oxygenate the blood.
Our Reishi Extract is produced from premium-grade fruiting bodies, standardized to ensure consistent potency. It is widely used in dietary supplements, functional foods, and wellness beverages. The extract is also ideal for formulations targeting stress reduction, sleep quality, and overall vitality. Backed by third-party testing for purity and heavy metals, our product meets strict international quality standards, making it a trusted choice for global health brands.
Modern research has identified over 400 bioactive compounds in reishi, including polysaccharides (β-D-glucans), triterpenoids (ganoderic acids), sterols, and proteins, which collectively exhibit immunomodulatory, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and adaptogenic properties . Our reishi extract is produced using advanced extraction technology to preserve the full spectrum of active compounds in a highly bioavailable format .
