It has long been cultivated in large quantities on wood chips or sawdust. v.a. in China and Japan.

Areas of application and effects

Users who regularly take the Reishi mushroom report a Increased performance as well as from a Improvement in sleep disorders.

The positive effects on the immune system observed in many studies could be attributed to the high concentration of beta-glucans found in Reishi mushrooms, which are present in the mushroom's cell walls. Many users attribute this to the Reishi mushroom. cytotoxic effect and therefore also use it as an adjunct to cancer therapies.

Reishi is considered important by many alternative practitioners. Antioxidant Antioxidants are used to combat free radicals, which age our cells and promote the development of many diseases.

Why are extracts better than mushroom powder?

Mushroom extracts contain, in particular, highly effective and bioactive polysaccharides and glucans in high concentrations, which are relevant to the immune system.
The extraction process not only releases the active substances from the cell organelles, but also enriches the fungal active substances by removing the insoluble accompanying substances.

Another advantage of extracts over powders is their standardization and reproducibility. This allows for precise and targeted dosing and combination with other preparations.

Shellbroken process

The mushroom powder, which is later extracted using hot water extraction, is produced using the so-called "shell-broken" method; in this process, the mushroom is ground so finely that the chitin cell wall of the mushroom is broken open. This allows for a polysaccharide content (depending on the manufacturer) of up to 30%, and the ingredients can be optimally utilized by the body.

Furthermore, ensure that only the fruiting body is used for the production of the mushroom extracts. The phrase "from the whole mushroom" means that not only the fruiting body, but also the underground part ("mycelium"), which contains hardly any nutrients, as well as the substrate on which the mushroom is cultivated, may be included – and this substrate can contain many undesirable byproducts, from wood to manure. Keep this in mind when choosing a product.
