Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) has long been revered by Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners for its longevity-increasing properties, earning it the name “divine plant of longevity.” To reflect this reputation in Chinese, its name has evolved into “lingzhi,” or mushroom of immortality.

Reishi is an effective functional food that supports healthy cell growth and immunity while increasing overall vitality. With its ability to nourish, rejuvenate, and boost mood enhancement benefits, Reishi should become part of any wellness routine.

Reishi products vary significantly in their effectiveness; choosing quality ones with fruiting bodies rather than mycelium offers greater health benefits than supplementing with mycelium alone. Many reishi mushroom supplements on the market rely solely on mycelium; Real Mushrooms offers only organically grown reishi products harvested directly from their native habitat without fillers or additives – guaranteeing superior products!

Reishi can help promote overall wellness as well as collagen production and skin health, including reduction of fine lines and wrinkles and neutralization of free radicals that cause oxidative stress on the skin 1>. Furthermore, its rich source of beta-glucans hydrate the skin from within while improving its appearance.

Studies have demonstrated the beneficial properties of Reishi in terms of strengthening immunity and relieving stress. Reishi can also help alleviate symptoms associated with anxiety and depression while improving sleep quality and decreasing blood pressure.

Reishi has also been shown to aid cardiovascular health and increase longevity, by decreasing cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, lowering blood sugar levels, and improving circulation.

Reishi tea has also been linked with improving hair health, specifically its natural polysaccharides which may slow hair loss by inhibiting 5-a-reductase, an enzyme responsible for turning testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which destroys hair follicles and leads to their miniaturization – one of the leading causes of hair loss among men.
