Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) mushroom is a fungus occurring on the sides of trees and stumps in densely wooded mountains of southeast China.

Growing conditions of Reishi

• low light• very humid environment

These conditions also allow bacteria and other invaders to flourish

Types of Reishi

There are 62 types of Reishi, of which six are most common:

RED BLACKBLUE WHITE

YELLOW PURPLE

RED Reishi is preferred because it can produce the highest quality extract and has been subject to the most scientific evaluation

Cultivation of ReishiIn 1971, Yukio Naoi, a researcher of the Kyoto

University in Japan, successfully developed the artificial cultivation of Reishi, which resulted in reproducible and consistent production of Reishi.

Growth of Basidiomycete

• These highly active substances are the essence of Reishi

• They are the reproductive cells that are released at maturity

• Reishi spores are protected by an extremely hard shell which prevent us from optimally absorbing the actives

The most potent of Reishi’s ingredients are locked in seed-like spores

The unseen microscopic oval spores come from the top of the mushroom at maturity (4-5 months of cultivation)

The “Cracked Spore” technology softens and breaks open the shell of Reishi spores, so that the potent active ingredients can be extracted

Cracked Spores Unlock Active Compounds
