Real Mushrooms - Reishi Extract 415
At Real Mushrooms we pride ourselves on knowing that our mushroom products are of the highest quality. Our Reishi 415 is made from 100%, log grown, certified organic, Reishi mushrooms (fruiting bodies). They are hot water extracted to pull out the beta-glucans. In the case of Reishi, it is also important to extract with alcohol to obtain the non-water soluble triterpenes. This is commonly called dual extraction.
Now available in easy to use capsules
After starting with bulk powders for use in coffee, tea, smoothies, shakes and any of your other favorite food, we've created capsules to make it easier to consume your mushrooms where ever you are.
Guaranteed Potency - Scientifically Verified
We test specifically for beta-glucans and triterpenes as these are the most well researched, beneficial compounds in Reishi. We also test for starch which is used to show that our products contain no fillers of any kind, Just 100% pure mushrooms. If other brands only list polysaccharide numbers, make sure to ask them for beta-glucan and starch numbers. This helps to determines product quality as there is a vast difference in quality between brands.
Reishi History
The Reishi mushroom has been revered in China for thousands of years and is utilized in Traditional Chinese Medicine as an immune system booster. Today it is widely cultivated using wood logs in shade houses. Scientific research for Reishi mushroom activity began in the 1970s in China and Japan. Scientists discovered highly active beta-glucans with the ability to potentiate innate immunity by activating immune cells. Also discovered were secondary metabolites called triterpenoids which were present in significant amounts and sets Reishi apart from all the other medicinal mushrooms.
- POTENT 15:1 REISHI MUSHROOM EXTRACT POWDER: Every 2 capsules is equivalent to 15 grams of reishi mushroom. Made exclusively from 100% log grown, organic reishi mushrooms. These fruiting bodies are hand picked and dual extracted with hot water and alcohol to make the best extract possible. Extraction makes both the beneficial beta-glucans, triterpenes, plus thousands of other nutrients from the mushroom more bioavailable to us.
- WHY EXTRACTS: The bulk of the scientific research on medicinal mushrooms and traditional use is based on extracts from the mushroom (fruiting body). Extraction breaks down the mushroom cell wall to allow our bodies to access these beneficial compounds. Real Mushrooms strictly uses extracts to be consistent with the research so you can be confident in obtaining the benefits of medicinal mushrooms. Un-extracted mushroom products are largely indigestible to us.
- WITH REISHI BITTER IS BETTER: When it comes to reishi, you want it to taste bitter. Bitterness is a key quality indicator of reishi. The bitterness comes from the beneficial triterpene compounds that develop through the mushroom's interaction with the wood it grows on. Many reishi products do not taste bitter and this is a clear indication that they do not contain these beneficial triterpene compounds. Our product contains >4% triterpenes and you can taste the bitterness.
- GUARANTEED POTENCY: Real Mushrooms Reishi 415 is guaranteed by analytical testing to have the active, medicinal compounds scientifically shown to boost your immune system. Our extract contains >15% Beta-glucans, >4% triterpenes and <5% Starch. Beta-glucans are the main active, most well researched, medicinal compound in reishi. We measure beta-glucans specifically because polysaccharides numbers include starch, so polysaccharide testing yields a false sense of quality.
- 100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEED: If for some reason, you are not satisfied with our mushroom extract powders we provide a no-hassle no-questions-asked refund. Just contact us directly with your order number and we'll happily provide you with a full refund.
