Reishi mushrooms contain beta-glucans – polysaccharide-based soluble fibers which act as effective antimicrobials while also improving intestinal flora; furthermore they contain triterpenes, polyphenols, and peptides which enhance cognitive performance while simultaneously alleviating stress.

Green tea is packed with antioxidants that can neutralize free radicals, decrease oxidative stress and protect against chronic diseases. Catechins are powerful polyphenols and phytochemicals known to slow tumor cell growth as well as slow the aging process. Furthermore, green tea provides an abundant supply of EGCG which is known for its cardiovascular and brain health benefits.

Researchers discovered that reishi mushroom and green tea have synergistic protective effects against cancer. Their study on mice exposed to sarcoma cancer cells then given either low, medium, or high doses of ReishiMax plus Tegreen as well as an additional control group who received neither product revealed that the combination significantly reduced tumor sizes while increasing survival time.

Combining Reishi mushroom with green tea may also benefit skin health. Studies have demonstrated that Reishi can prevent skin aging by increasing collagen production – an essential protein that strengthens connective tissues – as well as helping repair damaged tissues by stimulating accumulations of Hydroxyproline and Hexosamine that play key roles in wound healing.
