Helpful Guide to Reishi Extract (Ganoderma Lucidum)

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is one of the most highly valued medicinal mushrooms in both traditional medicine and modern scientific research. Also known as "the mushroom of immortality," it has been the subject of numerous studies for its immunomodulatory, antioxidant, and adaptogenic properties.

What benefits does Reishi offer?

Its richness in triterpenes, beta-glucans and ganoderic acids makes it a supplement with multiple therapeutic applications:

• Immune system modulation: Studies show that Reishi beta-glucans stimulate the activity of NK cells and macrophages.
• Stress reduction and improved sleep: its effect on cortisol levels and sleep quality has been proven
• Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity thanks to its triterpene content.
• Liver support: protects the liver from toxic attacks and improves its function.

How long does it take to take effect?

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) does not act immediately, as its effects are cumulative. It generally takes 2 to 6 weeks of daily use to begin noticing improvements in parameters such as sleep, vitality, and immune system regulation. For lasting benefits, consistent supplementation is recommended over time.

How to choose a good Reishi extract?

Not all products on the market are created equal. To ensure you're taking an effective and safe extract, make sure it meets the following requirements:

• Derived exclusively from the fruiting body , which is the part richest in bioactive compounds.
• Indicated concentration (ideally 20:1 , which means that 20 grams of dried mushroom are concentrated in 1 gram of extract).
• No mycelium, starches or fillers , which dilute the real potency of the product.
• Certificates of analysis performed by independent laboratories, validating the presence of active compounds and the absence of contaminants.
