What is reishi?Reishi (ganoderma lucidum) is a forest-dwelling fungus that lives and feeds on hardwood trees. You'll only find this powerful mushroom in vibrant old-growth forests.Throughout history, reishi has been regarded as one of the most powerful tonic herbs available. In ancient china, reishi was prohibitively expensive — only the emperor and elite class could afford to take reishi on a regular basis. It was sought after for its anti-ageing and adaptogenic qualities.Experts suggest you need to take a large dose of reishi over long periods of time to get maximum benefit. This 15:1 extract offers 15 times the active ingredients in every gram of reishi powder. This allows you to get an effective dose of reishi with just 1–2 capsules per day.How does reishi work?Reishi contains over a dozen active ingredients. However, the most important are the polysaccharides — which are long, complex chains of sugar molecules.
