- New Roots Herbal’s Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum; ling zhi in Chinese) is a hot water–extracted medicinal mushroom formula standardized to contain 40% polysaccharides (500 mg per capsule)
- Hot-water extraction is critical in obtaining a high-quality and effective mushroom product, and is the traditional Asian method of extraction
- In the whole mushroom, polysaccharides are bound by indigestible cell wall comprised of chitin; chitin must be dissolved through hot water in order to gently release the medicinal components, the mushroom polysaccharides
- Conversely, grinding the mushroom may cause damage to the long-chain polysaccharides and fails to remove the indigestible chitin (fibre), limiting the amount of therapeutic constituents that can be fit per capsule
- Standardization ensures that the final product contains a consistent amount of polysaccharides to allow delivery of a therapeutic dose
- Active constituents found in reishi, including triterpenes and polysaccharides, boast many benefits
- Increased energy and stamina make reishi an ally for an active life
