Mushroom benefits stem from the phytochemicals they contain. The most prominent of these are beta- (1,3)(1,6) d-glucans. Others include ergothioneines, antioxidants, ergosterol, sterols, lipids, glycosides, chitins, diterpenes and triterpenes.
Most mushroom products in the United States come from mycelia that are grown in plastics bags on beds of sterile rice, wheat, corn or rye. As the mycelia grow, it integrates so thoroughly with the grain that it becomes impossible to separate. Thus, the finished product is perhaps 30% mycelium and 70% grain. Because of this, it is mostly starch and has very low levels of real mushroom nutrients.
MyPure Reishi comes from 100% real mushroom fruiting bodies and not from mycelium.
Reishi (ganoderum lucidum) is often called the King of Mushrooms. It is considered an adaptogen, meaning that it helps the body cope with stress, tension and fatigue, and to promote natural body balance. Its main immune enhancing compounds are Beta-D-glucans and ganoderic acids.
Reishi has been long been used to help calm the mind, ease tension, sharpen concentration and focus, build willpower, etc. Traditional Chinese Medicine sees it as one of the few foods/herbs that impart wisdom, and many people report that it promotes a sense of peaceful wellbeing. Royal Red Reishi and Purple Reishi are considered top of the line.
Each capsule of MyPure Reishi provides 500 mg of our 1:1, 100% Non GMO, Certified Organic Royal Red Reishi Mushrooms. The mushrooms are hot water extracted to break down the cell walls, thus maximizing nutrient bioavailability. You simply cant find a better Reishi product.
