Reishi, or Ganoderma lingzhi, has a 2000-year-old written record in medicinal texts. Most notably, Chinese Taoist monks wrote of using it to promote calmness, as well as to enhance their meditative practices. Chinese royalty used Reishi to promote longevity and held this “mushroom of immortality,” in high esteem. 

Reishi was listed as the most cherished among the superior herbs, which are considered to support a long life, support healthy aging, boost qi, and make the body light [3].

Real Mushrooms ensures that our Reishi products are made from the mushroom (fruiting body) and contain higher levels of the beneficial compounds beta-D-glucans and triterpenes with NO grain fillers. 

Shockingly, a study analyzing commercially available Reishi mushrooms supplements showed that only 5 of 19 products tested could be verified as genuine Reishi mushrooms.

One way to identify the purity of our Reishi product is its dark color and bitter taste, both characteristic of true Reishi. We recommend taking two Reishi capsules a day, over a prolonged time to notice the nutritional benefits of this incredible functional mushroom.
