Since ancient times, many cultures have relied on medicinal mushrooms for treating, healing, and improving the symptoms of countless illnesses and ailments. Medicinal mushroom supplements are more popular than ever as we continue to learn of all their amazing benefits.
To understand how we get these benefits, let’s learn how medicinal mushrooms are sourced:
- The fruiting body refers to the reproductive part of the fungus and is often characterized by its stalk and cap. This part of the mushroom can be used to create potent extracts using hot water and/or alcohol.
- The mycelium consists of a mass of branching filaments like the root system or web, often growing in soil or organic matter. To get all the nutrients, the mycelium is grown, dried and milled into a fine powder.
Combining the mycelium and fruiting body extract ensures you get a highly potent dose of powerhouse antioxidants, filled with all the beneficial compounds to support your health goals.
Reishi mushrooms, also known as Ganoderma lucidum and lingzhi, have powerful immune boosting benefits thanks to their high contents of beta-glucans. These soluble fibres are usually found in the cellular walls of bacteria and fungi, and they’re known to help stimulate the immune system while reducing fatigue. These mushrooms are also associated with mood and stress because of their adaptogenic benefits.
