Immune support – Support a healthy immune system. It acts as an immunostimulant for people with HIV or cancer. The beta-glucans (complex sugars) in Reishi stimulate the immune system to prevent infections. They boost the immune system by activating macrophages and killer T cells. With aging, our immune system declines in a process called immuno-senescence. A weakened immune system encourages deadly infection and disease. Scientists have confirmed that the medicinal mushroom reishi contains pharmacologically active compounds that boost the immune system and help defend against age-induced immune decline. Reishi’s immune-modulating effects may be beneficial for people with HIV infection.
Cancer support – Reishi reinforces the membrane of cancerous cells to prevent them from spreading further in the body, leading to the death of cancer cells. It has the ability to shrink tumors by promoting interferon production. Beta-glucans in Reishi slow down the growth of tumor cells and stop them from metastasizing. It prevents new blood vessel growth in the area of cancer cells, which is essential as cancer cells need a steady blood supply to grow. Reishi contains essential oils, known as triterpenes, that may also inhibit the development and metastasis of tumors.
Chemotherapy support – Reisi promotes post-chemo recovery; reduces side effects & may help to enhance the effectiveness of the anti-cancer medication. Reishi also alleviates chemotherapy-induced nausea and improves the efficacy of radiation therapy. 
Inflammation – Reishi Mushroom is a potent anti-inflammatory and adaptogen that helps modulate and support the healthy activation of pro-inflammatory pathways and mediators. Reducing inflammation in the body greatly improves and supports overall healthy brain function.
Skin health – Reishi improves skin tone & texture. The antioxidant properties of Reishi help to combat pigmentation. Antioxidants like ergothioneine and reduced glutathione prevent premature aging and free radical formation. They also enhance skin protection. The immune-boosting adaptogenic benefits alleviate redness and irritation resulting in a soothed calm skin. Reishi mushroom deeply hydrates the skin due to their humectant properties, decreasing fine lines and wrinkles. Reishi inhibits the melanin-producing enzyme tyrosinase which is helpful in fading acne scars and reducing skin pigmentation and discoloration.
Nerve support – Reishi mushroom helps to alleviate stress, nervousness, insomnia, and fatigue. It is an adaptogen herb that helps the body combat stress, and at the same time protects the body against the negative effects of long-term stress. Reishi mushrooms may decrease anxiety and depression as well as improve the quality of life in people suffering from certain medical conditions. People with neurasthenia (characterized by physical and mental exhaustion) show improvement in aches, pain, feelings of irritability, and other symptoms that goes with it. Taking Reishi daily lowers the odds of depression due to high levels of vitamin B12, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds. The amino acid ergothioneine is a powerful anti-inflammatory agent that might help with depression. Inflammation has been linked to depression.
Anti-diabetes benefits – Reishi adjusts insulin sensitivity, reduces blood sugar levels, and promotes healthy pancreas function. It reduces blood sugar levels, possibly by inhibiting an enzyme that produces glucose. Reishi may also prevent or halt kidney complications in type 2 diabetes.
Improve liver health – Reishi mushroom spores promote liver cell regeneration, which improves the liver’s ability to remove toxins from the body. It lowers the GOT & GPT levels (a fatty liver causes elevated levels). It assists in the treatment of hepatitis B.
Heart health, Blood pressure & Cholesterol – Reishi regulates blood pressure (improves diastolic value), improves blood circulation & increases blood flow of the coronary artery. It treats clogged arteries and helps to balance good cholesterol and decreases reduces bad cholesterol levels in the bloodstream. Triterpenes & beta-glucans may reduce total cholesterol and LDL (bad) cholesterol.
Rich in Antioxidants – Reishi has antioxidant properties that reduce the risk of disease and premature aging.
Organ health: It slows the degeneration of cells, tissues & organs.
Overall wellbeing: Reishi enhances the body’s natural healing abilities, and promotes immune system strength.
Thrombosis (blood clot) prevention: Has natural anticoagulant properties.
Antiviral – Reishi fights viral infections such as the flu (influenza), swine flu, and avian flu; lung conditions including asthma and bronchitis.
Anti-aging – Aging is the reduction in the structure and function of our cells. Reishi mushroom is a superior longevity tonic throughout history with potent anti-aging benefits. Reishi is known as the “divine mushroom of immortality” and historically, its consumption was only reserved for the royal family. The anti-aging benefits of Reishi strengthen vitality, replenish Qi energy, nourish the blood, restore Jing essence, and support the heart, kidneys, liver, and brain which all contribute to promoting one’s wellbeing and extending lifespan. prevents tissue cell and organ degeneration; prevents senility, maintaining a youthful constitution
