------------------------------
Lingzhi or Reishi mushroom has amazing healing properties. Also known as the “Mushroom of Immortality”, Lingzhi has long been used as a health restoring herbal tonic in traditional Chinese Medicine.
Lingzhi has been traditionally used to relieve fatigue, boost stamina and fight premature ageing and infections. Modern research also validate that the mushroom has amazing anti-inflammatory, stress relieving, anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties. Lingzhi is also known to support liver health, maintain hormonal balance and regulate immune functions.
One of the most important feature of Lingzhi mushroom is that it works as an adaptogen. Adaptogens are herbs or natural substances that maintain natural balance in the body and enhances body’s resistance to stress, whether it is emotional, physical mental or environmental. Like all adaptogenic herbs, Lingzhi normalizes the functions of immune system, adrenal glands and all major organ systems including the heart, liver and kidneys.
Lingzhi cracked spores powder
When the fruiting body of Lingzhi ripens, it releases spores. These small spores contain various bioactive compounds in a powder form. These ingredients are protected by a hard cell wall that doesn’t allow effective absorption of the nutrients. We use highly advanced technology to break the hard shell and crack open the spores to extract the powder without affecting the quality of its bioactive ingredients. This process improves the bioavailability and absorption of the compounds within the spores.
One of the most abundant bioactive compounds found in the Lingzhi cracked spores powder is triterpenes(ganoderic acid). These compounds fight free radicals, reduce inflammation and may also prevent cancer cells to grow. Another important function of triterpenes is their ability to reduce allergic responses by inhibiting the releases of histamine.

Research
Research conducted in Japan revealed that large doses of Vitamin C and other anti-oxidants were capable of reducing DNA damage and the probability of cancer. [1]
Vitamin C amplifies the ingestion of polysaccharides from Reishi. Polysaccharides are one of the most plentiful bioactive substances contained in Reishi and are liable for various advantages, consisting of its anti-oxidant and immune-regulating characteristics. Combining Reishi with meals that are rich in Vitamin C or Vitamin C supplements will help you maximize the advantages of Reishi supplements.
