The botanical name is Ganoderma lucidum. It is a mushroom or better said a fungus. The fungus grows as a parasite on the root base and dead stumps of various deciduous trees, especially from the maple family. In nature it mainly occurs in Asia in warm and humid locations. However, related species also come from North America. Normally the reishi grows on only 2 or 3 of all trees. In nature the mushroom is therefore very rare. That is why many of them are cultivated today.</p> <p>Reishi is certainly one of the most revered herbs in Asia. The mushroom has been used there under the name Lingzhi for at least 2000 years. Here it is used as a universal tonic for the so-called Qi. But in recent years the popularity of the tonic mushroom has also increased in the rest of the world. The mushroom is described as a true superfood, rich in nutrients and other secondary plant substances. The mushroom contains various important active substances, including polysaccharides (such as beta-glucan), sterols (ganoderol, ganoderic acid, ganoderiol, ganodermanontriol, luicidadiol, ganodermadiol) and alkaloids (<span style="text-decoration:underline;"><a style="color:#78509a;text-decoration:underline;" href="https://min.wauw.dev/media/descriptions/Phytochemistry-Paterson%255B1%255D.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">source</a></span>). The beta-glucans are currently indicated as the most important substance. That is why the reishi extract in this Reishi Mushroom is standardized for the content of beta-glucans.</p> <h4><span style="color:#78509a;">Reishi Mushroom from Gaia Herbs, transparent proven quality</span></h4> <p>We are proud to be the first to bring Gaia Herbs products to Europe and to be able to offer you this high-quality Reishi Mushroom.
