Reishi
Remedy for immune support, inflammation and stress
Reishi mushroom owes its potent immunomodulatory action to the presence of polysaccharides and triterpenoids as its major active constituents.
Reishi mushroom contains the most active polysaccharides among medicinal plants. The polysaccharides can help to increase the activity of certain white blood cells, which play a critical role in the body’s immune response.
Triterpenes are compounds that give reishi mushroom its bitter taste and are substances that have demonstrated potential anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-tumour effects. Both these active constituents work together to help immune defenses.
The immune system is designed to defend the body against foreign or dangerous invaders. Such invaders include:
-
Microorganisms (commonly called germs, such as bacteria and viruses)
-
Parasites (such as worms)
-
Cancer cells
-
Transplanted organs and tissues
NOTE: Not all reishi mushroom products extract the major active constituents or grow the mushroom in the same way. So, reishi mushroom products on the market may vary in the amount of polysaccharides and triterpenes that they contain, depending both on how the mushroom is extracted and what part of the mushroom is being used.

Organic Reishi mushroom fruiting body, purified artesian spring water from our farm, alcohol (approximately 25% of volume).
Our Reishi Remedy is a powerful liquid mushroom made from the fruiting body of Reishi mushrooms with no fillers, mycelium, grains or additives.
Take one to three full glass droppers (approx. 20 drops per dropper) directly by mouth or added to water, tea, coffee, smoothies or juices daily.
We use traditional extraction techniques to produce our remedies. The concentration of alcohol per recommended dose (1-2 milliliters) is less than a glass of kombucha and at half the dose, is about the same as a ripe banana.
What are polysaccharides?
Reishi mushrooms contain medicinal properties in the form of bioactive compounds that offer health benefits to the consumer.
One of those beneficial bioactive compounds is polysaccharides, a structural component of mushroom cell walls consumed as a type of insoluble or indigestible fiber.
Polysaccharides are resistant to human digestive enzymes and serve as a crucial source of energy for the gut microbiome, promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria.
Polysaccharides also act as antioxidants to help combat oxidative stress which is responsible for the production of ‘free radicals’ that damage DNA, cell membranes, and other parts of cells within the body.
This damage creates oxidative stress, which is an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in your body.
Because free radicals are so pervasive, you need an adequate supply of antioxidants (such as polysaccharides contained within medicinal mushrooms) to disarm them.
How does oxidative stress affect immunity?
Oxidative stress (i.e. too many free radicals damaging your DNA and body’s cells) causes inflammation which is an immune response.
Inflammation is a protective reaction of body’s cells to injury or infections and allergic or chemical irritation.
An inflammatory reaction is characterised by redness, pain, swelling, heat, and loss of function. This can occur on the outside of the body or internally (not seen but felt as pain).
Inflammation triggered by oxidative stress is the cause of many chronic diseases.
Long-term oxidative stress can accelerate the ageing process and create conditions such as chronic inflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.
The number of people suffering from chronic inflammatory diseases is on the rise. The good news is that oxidative stress can be treated nutritionally.
To prevent oxidative stress, it’s recommended to:
-
Eat a balanced diet
-
Exercise regularly
-
Reduce stress
-
Maintain a healthy body weight
-
Limit the intake of foods high in sugars and fats
-
Cut out alcohol consumption
-
Avoid exposure to pollution and radiation

Reishi Remedy
We organically grow reishi mushrooms exclusively for our potent Reishi Remedy that helps with immune support, inflammation and stress.
In many Asian cultures, the reishi mushroom is referred to as “the mushroom of immortality” due to the health benefits it has been providing for hundreds (if not thousands) of years. Reishi mushrooms can boost your immune system and help fight off bacteria and viral infections.
