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.

immune-modulating

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. This product has not been evaluated by the FDA. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. We
highly recommend that you consult with a Traditional Chinese Medical
practitioner or physician before taking any products or if you have any
questions regarding your health.

More Information
Why choose ORIVeDA? Scientific research uses in general specialized, highly concentrated
extracts to investigate the potential of mushrooms. ORIVeDA
extracts are comparable in both composition and quality, so the research
results you read about you can also expect from our products.
Reishi Primo is one of the very few Reishi products that actually offers all those bioactives in a bioavailable form, guaranteeing not only the presence but also the quantity of those compounds. Odd as it may seem, it is actually rare to find Reishi with clear specifications, let alone verifiable specifications. Our mantra is and always will be: quality claims should be supported by third party test reports to be reliable and trustworthy.
Reishi Primo is produced using a multi-step extraction procedure (hot water, alcohol, alcohol precipitation) which ensures a high purity product, as opposed to extraction using only hot water or a mix of water and alcohol in a single-step extraction process.
Mushrooms for animals: Mushrooms are amazing in
their abilities to support the body's immune system in animals as well
as people. Mushrooms also help with giving animals added nutrition.
The best mushrooms to use for animals are maitake,
shiitake, reishi and cordyceps. A combination can be used or focus on
one.
