Vital Mushroom Reishi Extract

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum, Ling-Zhi) is an umbrella-shaped edible mushroom that has enjoyed great popularity for over 4000 years, especially in Japan and China. It has a similar reputation there as ginseng. Reishi is also called the “Divine Mushroom of Spiritual Power” because it is said to balance the polar forces of Yin and Yang. The dried fruit body of the reishi mushroom is often added to foods and herbal blends. Reishi is used as a tea in TCM and is traditionally remembered as a fountain of youth. Ganoderma lucidum is also known in Europe under the name “shiny lacquer porling”. Its nevertheless low level of awareness in our country is due to the fact that the mushroom could not be cultivated until a few years ago and was therefore very expensive.

Reishi extract additionally contains Vitamin C (Ester-C®). The special Ester-C® contains no free acid and is therefore considered well tolerated.
