Benefits

Reishi mushrooms (Ganoderma lucidum) have long been revered as the Mushroom of Immortality by traditional Eastern medicine practitioners for their long-term health and longevity-promoting benefits. Packed full of anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and antioxidant nutrients they are widely available as nutritional powder, supplements or tea for purchase.

Reishi has been shown to strengthen immunity, reduce stress levels and promote better sleeping patterns. Reishi contains compounds which stimulate white blood cell activity – giving your immune system the edge against infections and illness. Reishi acts as an adaptogen, meaning it helps your body adapt to stress by maintaining equilibrium within itself; additionally it decreases cortisol levels that contribute to anxiety or feelings of fearfulness.

One study demonstrated that reishi mushrooms can increase collagen production, an essential element in wound repair and tissue regeneration. Collagen contains amino acid hydroxyproline which facilitates healing processes like wound repair. Another research project showed that using these mushrooms may also help enhance energy and decrease fatigue by activating mitochondria – the cell’s powerhouses.

Studies have also demonstrated the ability of reishi mushrooms to reduce cancer growth, lower LDL cholesterol levels and enhance overall cardiovascular functioning. They may even boost natural killer cell activity – white blood cells responsible for fighting tumors – while protecting livers and kidneys by lowering triglyceride levels and inhibiting LDL oxidation.

Reishi can help to lower blood sugar levels, so if you have diabetes it should be consumed with caution. Because Reishi may interact with certain medications such as blood thinners and drugs to treat conditions like arthritis or IBD, please check with your physician prior to taking Reishi.
