Used for more than two millennia in Asia, Reishi grows throughout the world, primarily on hardwood trees, and is well known for supporting general wellness and vitality. It is the number one selling mushroom in the world.

Ganoderma lucidum, better known under its Japanese name 'Reishi' (China: Ling Zhi, Japan: Mannentake; Sawaitake) is probably the best known of all mushrooms, with a recorded history that spans over 2000 years. Reishi was used in ancient China as the most important part of Fu Zheng therapy. Until cultivation made this mushroom available to everyone (from 1971 onwards) its use was limited to the rich and privileged members of Asian society, due to the rarity and the high price of high quality natural Reishi

• Balances and supports the immune system
• Supports healthy cholesterol levels and a normal blood pressure
• Traditionally used because of its revitalising and balancing properties
• Over 25% beta-glucan, 1.5% polyphenols, 1.8% ganodermic acids (10 types)
• Guaranteed bioactive and bioavailable

Reishi Primo is a dual extracted and highly concentrated red Reishi fruiting body extract. It has been optimised for the compounds that make Reishi worth considering: Ganoderic acids and their derivatives and beta-glucan.

There is no Reishi supplement with better specifications available. View the 'Supplement Facts' label, based on objective -ISO 17025 accredited- lab test reports.

Oriveda guarantees the presence of the main bioactive compounds and their bioavailability with third-party lab results.

What sets these mushrooms apart and what makes them particularly effective is the synergistic effect of the combined bioactives (mainly Beta-Glucans, glycoproteins/proteo-glycans, polyphenols and Ganoderic acids -a type of triterpenes-).

Extraction defines the potency and is essential. Dual extraction is often the best option in this case - it will make both water-solubles and insolubles bioavailable. Research found that the effects of mushroom extracts are up to 10 times higher when compared against non-extracted powders.

Do not use when on immune-suppressing medication, e.g. after an organ transplant. This extract's immune-modulating properties can act against the medication, so do not use this extract if you are using this type of medicine.

Some research indicates that Reishi should not be used in case of hormone related breast cancer, later research states the exact opposite. Please take this into account before taking the product in case of breast cancer.

Better NOT mix with lactose-containing products such as milk lactose will bind to the polyphenols, rendering them useless.

For people that are highly susceptible to swings in blood sugar levels (usually the same people that have problems with alcohol and caffeine): mushroom extracts can have an effect on blood sugar levels. People using insulin (such as diabetics) might have to adjust their medication. There are reports stating that taking mushroom extracts can cause of feeling of fatigue or dizziness in these cases because blood sugar levels are too low. Taking the product together with some sugar-containing beverage (such as freshly squeezed juice also contains vitamin C (!)) might help.

Since the effect on pregnant and breastfeeding women has never been researched, we recommend against using mushroom extracts in these situations.

General Cautions:
Keep away from children.
