Organic Red Reishi Mushroom Dried Powder (Ganoderma, Lingzhi, Mannentake) are famous for having an abundance of health effects. The “fungi of immortality” has been used for over two thousand years in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine, e.g. to replenish a person’s Qi or vitality and energy. The mushroom is a polypore fungus that grows on the base or stumps of trees in hot and humid climates. In its wild form in nature it is extremely rare, as it grows at the base two or three out of 10,000 aged maple trees.
Today nearly all reishi mushrooms are grown on substrates, such as sawdust or tree logs. The mushroom contains an array of alkaloids, triterpene acids, ergosterols, fumaric acid, coumarins, lactone, mannitol, and several polysaccharides.
Function
- Immunity. Ganoderma mushrooms are renowned for their immunomodulatory effects. They may enhance the activity of white blood cells, such as T-cells and macrophages, and promote a more robust immune response.
- Adaptogenic. Lingzhi is considered an adaptogen, helping the body adapt to stress and maintain balance. Adaptogens are thought to support the body’s ability to cope with physical and mental stressors, promoting resilience and overall well-being.
- Anti-Inflammatory. Reishi mushroom dried powder contain bioactive compounds with anti-inflammatory effects. These compounds may help modulate the inflammatory response in the body and reduce inflammations associated with chronic conditions.
- Heart. Some studies suggest that reishi may have cardiovascular benefits, as it can help lower blood pressure, reduce LDL levels, and improve blood flow, support overall heart health.
- Liver. Lingzhi mushrooms have hepatoprotective properties and supports liver health. This can help protect the liver from damage caused by toxins and oxidative stress, which makes a adjunct in promoting detoxification processes.
- Sleep and Stress. Reishi mushrooms may have calming effects on the nervous system, promoting relaxation and potentially improving sleep quality. The adaptogenic properties of reishi may provide relief for daily stressors.
- Respiration. Reishi have been traditionally used for respiratory conditions. They may help alleviate for symptoms by promoting a healthy inflammatory response.
- Antioxidant. Reishi mushrooms are rich in antioxidants, including polysaccharides and triterpenoids. These antioxidants help neutralize free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and potentially lowering the risk of chronic diseases. Antioxidant properties contribute to the anti-aging potential.
- Potential Effects. While more research is needed, some studies suggest that reishi mushrooms may have anti-cancer properties. The immune-modulating effects of reishi, combined with its antioxidant properties, make it a subject of research interest, but its role in the prevention or treatment requires further investigation.
