Mattisson Organic reishi powder bioReishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is a mushroom that has been used in Asia for over 2,000 years due to its positive effects on health. Reishi is one of the most well-known and widely used medicinal mushrooms. Reishi supports good blood circulation*
Ganoderma Lucidum is the Latin name and means ‘shining skin.’ In China, this mushroom is also referred to as "the Herb of Spiritual Power."
Reishi grows as a parasite on deciduous trees but can also grow on dead tree trunks. The color of Reishi is red, and its shine makes it look as if it has a layer of varnish on it.
What are the health benefits of Reishi?
Reishi has been used for over 2,000 years in Eastern medicine. Traditionally, Reishi is primarily used to support the immune system*. Reishi contains triterpenes and polysaccharides.
Difference between powder and extract
The difference between Reishi powder and extract is the way the mushroom is processed. Reishi powder is made from the fruiting body of the Reishi mushroom. An extract is further processed, making the active substance more concentrated. For Reishi, hot water is used in this process. As a result, 1 kilogram of Reishi extract is approximately equivalent to 17 kilograms of regular Reishi powder.
