Red Reishi Mushroom is primarily composed of complex carbohydrates called water-soluble polysaccharides, triterpenoids, proteins and amino acids. In ancient China it was referred to as the mushroom of immortality and eaten exclusively by royalty due to it rarity. Use of Reishi dates back over 4,000 years.
Chinese and Japanese herbalists have traditionally recommended Reishi mushrooms for supporting healthy sleep habits. Long-term use may possibly influence their sleep-promoting factors as it increases slow-wave sleep. Other studies report that Red Reishi may support both neurological and mental well being.
In Japan, the root-like body that produces mushrooms, known as the dried mycelium, has been found to be highly effective in supporting conditions related to environmental stress.
Red Reishi is primarily composed of complex carbohydrates called water-soluble polysaccharides, triterpenoids, proteins and amino acids. Researchers have identified that water-soluble polysaccharides are the most active element found in Red Reishi and may support a healthy immune system response.
Another major active ingredient found in Red Reishi are triterpenes, called ganoderic acids. Preliminary studies indicated that ganoderic acids may as well support healthy immune and liver functions. Generally, Reishi is known as an adaptogen, immune modulator and a general tonic.
