REISHI FAQ's
What are the active
ingredients?
Researchers have
identified that water-soluble polysaccharides are the most active element
found in Red Reishi that have anti-tumour, immune modulating and blood
pressure lowering effects. Another major active ingredient are triterpenes,
called ganoderic acids. Preliminary studies have indicated that ganoderic
acids help alleviate common allergies by inhibiting histamine release,
improve oxygen utilization and improve liver functions.
Should Reishi be taken
only when one is ill?
No. Reishi can be taken at any time. The primary benefit of
Reishi is its ability to support and build the immune system. Hence,
Reishi is beneficial even for a healthy person.
How is Reishi different
from other mushrooms?
While mushrooms such as
shitake, maitake, and cordyceps, all share similar immune boosting
properties, Reishi has the longest history and been studied the most as an
effective form of herbal medicine. Reishi, unlike other mushrooms, has
also been known to be effective in the treatment of the widest range of
health problems.
What are all the benefits
of Reishi?
The following table was
found in a published article titled Medicinal mushrooms: their therapeutic
properties and current medical usage with special emphasis on cancer
