Reishi contains ganoderic acid, an effective anti-inflammatory that is used to modulate immune system cells and control cytokine production. Furthermore, this compound may inhibit cancer cell proliferation while slowing tumor growth while aiding tissue repair and healing. Furthermore, antioxidants, phenolic compounds, and amino acids found in its extract play an integral part in maintaining healthy cholesterol levels and blood pressure/blood sugar levels.
Reishi tea’s other significant benefit lies in its ability to increase collagen levels, the protein responsible for providing flexibility and resilience to skin and joints. Without enough collagen in our bodies, wound healing, joint pain, and other signs of aging become much harder to deal with – this deficiency could be responsible for poor wound healing or worsening symptoms related to aging. Hydroxyproline found in reishi can increase collagen synthesis while hastening maturation process and speed up healing time significantly.
