Over the thousands of years that mushrooms have been used medicinally, reishi emerged long ago as one of the most beneficial of them all. In Chinese medicine reishi is called the “king of herbs” for a very good reason. Ancient kings and emperors in China and Japan drank reishi tea for vigor and long life. Superior Herbalism has seen reishi as earth’s most profound health tonic for over 2000 years.
Reishi is a strong antioxidant, and supports the immune system, lungs, blood, and liver and kidney function, and builds all three of the vital energies required for radiant health. One active nutrient in reishi is polysaccharides. They contain beta-glucan, which is known to support and enhance the immune system. Another nutrient in reishi is triterpenes. The type found in reishi mushrooms is a ganoderic acid that can improve the body’s use of oxygen and support healthy liver function.*
Other benefits modern science has identified include support for digestion, easing stress, and energizing the body while calming the mind. HealthGuard Reishi™ combines the mycelia, extracellular compounds, fruiting bodies, and spores of this mushroom to provide rich levels of beta-glucans along with the full phytochemical package that makes reishi one of the world’s most revered whole-body tonics.*
