A functional, bioactive mushroom if ever there was one, 2000 years of use in Chinese medicine has earned Reishi the mushroom of immortality moniker. Highly prized, vitality-enhancing and a mainstay in fine tea rooms; our Organic Reishi is as woody, wholesome and bitter as nature intended. One of the most nourishing fungi that we grow, health practitioners gush about Organic Reishi’s analgesic, anti-aging, anti-atherosclerotic, anti-bacterial, anticancer, anti-fibrotic and anti-hypertensive effects. Nutritionists, too, excite about Reishi’s anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive, antioxidative, anti-platelet, anti-thrombotic and anti-ulcer properties. And, with antiviral, chemopreventive, hepatoprotective, hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic and radioprotective properties to boot: our wilderness-farmed Organic Reishi serves as a fortifying reminder that fresh Organic Reishi is always superior to capsules, powders and supplements. What’s more, reishi mushrooms may also:
- Boost the immune system (see: Lin, 2005; Cheng et al., 2010; Gao et al., 2003; Mandal and Viswanathan, 2014; Chen et al., 2006; Zhang et al., 2007; Wachtel-Galor, 2004)
