Reishi extract supports the cardiovascular system – it regulates blood cholesterol levels by lowering triglycerides and raising the fraction of good HDL cholesterol.
Thanks to its content of saponins and certain polysaccharides, it may have an effect on blocking the cellular development of certain cancers. Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) is used in traditional Chinese medicine to help treat cancer and its consumption is associated with lower mortality rates and increased longevity.
Some of the triterpenes isolated from Reishi show toxicity against cancer cells, and the polysaccharides it contains stimulate the immune system. Consumption of Ganoderma lucidum extracts can lower blood pressure and also counteract atherosclerosis.
Thanks to the aqueous extraction process, the product retains all the key active ingredients of the Reishi mushroom in an easily digestible form. The extract’s polysaccharide content is a key factor in its immune system-supporting effects.
These polysaccharides are also important in the extract’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, protecting the body from free radicals and supporting the body’s natural ability to regenerate.
