Reishi ( Ganoderma lucidum), also known as the shiny lacquer polypore, is known in traditional Chinese medicine as the mushroom of immortality, eternal life and eternal youth. According to reports, it can even make age spots disappear.

Reishi is a tree fungus that grows on dead tree stumps. It is hard, woody and bitter. Reishi is therefore not an edible mushroom, but a purely medicinal mushroom.

Medicinal mushrooms are said to have many positive effects. They are said to strengthen the immune system, inhibit inflammation and improve the intestinal flora. The β-glucans, triterpenes and polyphenols contained in medicinal mushrooms are said to be responsible for this.

Many other effects of Reishi are being scientifically investigated.

Immune strengthening

Reishi may have an immune-boosting effect. In studies, Reishi was able to activate B cells. [1] B cells are important immune cells that are responsible for antibody production.

Effect on the cardiovascular system

Studies suggest that Reishi may have a positive effect on cardiovascular health. There is evidence that it may lower cholesterol , blood sugar, and blood pressure . [2] [3]

detoxification

In traditional Chinese medicine, Reishi is used to detoxify the liver. The bitter substances and triterpenes contained in Reishi are said to stimulate the production of bile acid. [4]

Calming and sleep-promoting effect

People in Asia like to drink Reishi tea to relax and sleep better. Reishi is said to calm the nerves.

Effect on the intestine

Reishi has many anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which is why it may be useful for treating inflammatory bowel disease. [5]

Anti-allergenic effect

Reishi is rich in triterpenes, which may have an anti-allergenic effect. Studies suggest that triterpenes can reduce histamine release in mast cells. [6]

Complementary therapy for cancer

Buy Reishi

When it comes to medicinal mushrooms, it is extremely important to pay attention to good quality. This is of course generally true for food supplements, but when it comes to medicinal mushrooms, there are particularly many black sheep on the market. For example, a study has shown that 75% of Reishi products on the market are fake. [9] This means that they contain no Reishi at all or only very small amounts.

Anyone who buys from just any supplier is literally throwing their money out the window. It should also be clear that high-quality products have their price. So pay attention to a good price-performance ratio and transparency in the list of ingredients and origin.
