Organic Reishi Mushroom Extract Ingredients: 100% Organic Reishi (Ganoderma Lucidum). Mushroom Extract from fruiting bodies (400mg). Shell Capsule: Hypromellose.
Organic Reishi Mushroom Extract is also recognised for its effects on memory. Multiple studies indicate that it can improve this function, especially in the face of cognitive decline.
Reishi is probably the most important medicinal mushroom on the planet. Traditional use consider Reishi as ‘The Mushroom of Immortality’ and ‘The Mushroom of Spiritual Potency’. Modern science highly regards this mushroom for its strong effects on the immune function and general anti-aging qualities. This is because it is rich in incredible nutrients.
Multiple studies found that Reishi has also positive effects on memory and brain function, especially in the face of cognitive decline.
Reishi mushroom is an adaptogen- a natural substance that may help the body adapt to stress. Reishi mushroom improves brain function through the way it balances the hormonal system. By balancing those chemical messengers, our bodies will keep feeling good and energized even during mentally and physically stressful times.
I personally also use Reishi to aid management of allergies.
Study:
“The most important pharmacologically active constituents of G. lucidum are triterpenoids and polysaccharides. Triterpenoids have been reported to possess hepatoprotective, anti-hypertensive, hypocholesterolemic and anti-histaminic effects, anti-tumor and anti-engiogenic activity, effects on platelet aggregation and complement inhibition. Polysaccharides, especially beta-d-glucans, have been known to possess anti-tumor effects through immunomodulation and anti-angiogenesis. In addition, polysaccharides have a protective effect against free radicals and reduce cell damage caused by mutagens.”

Study:
Reishi Mushroom has high anti-inflammatory properties and has been used successfully with patients with Crohn’s disease. This is from that study: “Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract. Current medications have potentially serious side effects. Hence, there is increasing interest in alternative therapies. We previously demonstrated the anti-inflammatory effects of Food Allergy Herbal Formula-2 in vitro on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and mucosa from CD subjects. Here, we investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of a bioactive compound isolated from Ganoderma lucidum (G. lucidum), a key herbal constituent of Food Allergy Herbal Formula-2, in CD in vitro.
GAC1 decreased TNF-α production by macrophages and PBMCs from CD subjects. GAC1 significantly decreased TNF-α, IFN-γ, and IL-17A production by inflamed colonic biopsies from CD subjects. These effects were due to downregulation of the NF-κB signaling pathway.
Conclusions: GAC1 inhibited production of TNF-α and other proinflammatory cytokines by PBMCs and inflamed CD colonic mucosa due to blockage of NF-κB activation. GAC1 is a key beneficial constituent in G. lucidum and the Food Allergy Herbal Formula-2 in suppressing the inflammatory cytokines found in CD and warrants clinical investigation for the treatment of CD.”
