Ingredients: 100% Reishi spore powder (organically farmed)
Country of Origin: China
Reishi spores are the most concentrated part of the reishi mushroom, the spores are effectively the seed (or essence!), and are released from the reishi fruiting body. Reishi spore powder contains the highest level of active nutrients, boasting a whopping 2% polysaccharides and 18.2% reishi triterpenes.
How is it made?
Reishi mushrooms are grown in sealed containers so that when the fruiting bodies release their spores, they’re able to be harvested. This is an extremely arduous process to produce as it takes approximately 1000kg or fruiting body to release just 1kg of reishi spore powder. It is then 99.7% ‘shell broken’ to increase the absorption rate using high frequency oscillation at low temperatures.
What’s the difference between this & ‘normal’ reishi?
Standard reishi powder is made from dried and powdered fruiting body of reishi mushrooms and whilst it’s great, reishi spore powder is simply next level. The medicinal efficacy of reishi spore powder is 75 times greater than that of reishi fruiting body.
The nice thing about reishi spore powder is that despite its huge potency, it actually has a more delicate flavour compared to conventional reishi powder. Anyone who has tried regular reishi powder we’re sure will welcome this, as it t can be extremely bitter!
The history of reishi
Reishi is an ancient medicine cited thousands of years ago in several Chinese texts as being a tonic for emperors. Traditional and contemporary Chinese medicine admire it as a tonic benefiting ‘vital energy’ or ‘Qi’, and it is prescribed for a multitude of maladies. Reishi is a polypore mushroom that grows in damp, dark forests and the occasional rotting log. Recent demand has enabled its cultivation in Japan, China and the United States which is promising for the wild stands of reishi.
