Ganoderma lucidum, aka Reishi or Lingzhi, is a type of medicinal mushroom which has been traditionally recognised for its health benefits for over 2000 years in many countries, especially China and Japan. This is the HIGH POLYSACCHARIDE (top shelf) Reishi in an eco-friendly, biodegradable pouch. Please transfer to a glass or metal airtight container on receipt. Store cool & dry.

Reishi contains many nutrients and three main groups of active constituents: polysaccharides, peptidoglycans, and triterpenes.

How can Reishi support your health? Reishi mushrooms may benefit your immune and overall health. Eight weeks of supplemental Reishi may reduce fatigue and improve general well-being.

One study in athletes exposed to stressful conditions showed that Reishi improved the function of a type of white blood cell that helps fight infections. Are you prone to cold and flu? Reishi may help.

Reishi has immune stimulatory function and appears to enhance tumour response. Several lab studies have shown that Reishi can lead to the death of cancer cells. One study found that Reishi, when given alongside chemotherapy, enhanced the anti-cancer effect of the drug.
