Reishi Powder Organic

Ganoderma sichuanense, traditionally referred to as Ganoderma lucidum

NEW & IMPROVED FORMULATION

Reishi has been valued in Traditional Chinese Medicine for thousands of years as a “superior herb”. Also known in China as Lingzhi and traditionally celebrated as the “Mushroom of Immortality”, it is one of the most revered mushrooms in the world. Its history stretches back thousands of years, with the first written record appearing in the Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing (Divine Farmer’s Materia Medica), one of the earliest Chinese pharmacopeias. Once rare and reserved for emperors and scholars, Reishi is now carefully cultivated and full-spectrum extracted to provide a broad range of naturally occurring compounds.

MycoNutri™ Reishi is a dual-extract product, carefully produced to preserve both water-soluble polysaccharides (beta-glucans) and alcohol-soluble triterpenes, including ganoderic acids, the characteristic triterpenes unique to Reishi, maintaining the mushroom’s natural spectrum of active compounds.

To ensure effective levels of both polysaccharides and triterpenes, MycoNutri™ Reishi is produced from organically cultivated fruiting bodies grown on hardwood logs in LongQuan, Zhejiang, China, under pesticide-free conditions, ensuring high quality and traceability. Dual hot-water and alcohol extraction is followed by vacuum concentration and spray-drying.

The resulting extract contains more than 30% total beta-glucans (all of which are soluble) and over 4% total triterpenes.

Take up to 1½ level 5ml teaspoon daily (suggested intake 400mg-2.4g per day), or as recommended by your health professional. Add to hot or cold beverages or sprinkle into food for easy consumption.

1½ level teaspoon = approximately 2.4g.

Reishi has a naturally earthy, slightly bitter taste due to its triterpene content, which can make it difficult to take except in combination with stronger flavours such as coffee. It combines well with herbal teas, cacao or coffee for a smoother flavour.

MycoNutri™ Reishi extract is a full-spectrum extract, combining both alcohol-extracted triterpenes and water-extracted polysaccharides (beta-glucans). Because it is a composite of different extraction fractions, the powder is not fully soluble. Some natural components remain suspended in liquid, reflecting the full spectrum of the mushroom.

 

 

MycoNutri™ Reishi extract is produced using a dual-extraction process designed to reflect the principles of traditional herbal preparation while meeting modern quality standards.

Two alcohol extractions are performed first to obtain triterpenes (ganoderic acids), sterols and other alcohol-soluble compounds. This is followed by two hot-water extractions, drawing out beta-glucans, polysaccharides and other water-soluble fractions.

All extract fractions are then combined in their entirety, ensuring that no naturally occurring compounds are selectively removed or over-purified. Rather than artificially emphasising the content of any single constituent, MycoNutri™ aims to preserve the natural balance and synergy found in traditional decoction methods.

The combined extract is subsequently vacuum-concentrated and subjected to staged low-temperature drying, producing a stable, full-spectrum Reishi extract that retains the mushroom’s complete range of active components.
