Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) has been used in traditional Asian medicine for thousands of years as an adaptogen and immune support agent. Mind Shi Reishi Mushroom 1000 mg is a standardized organic fruiting body extract in vegan capsule format, non-GMO, grain-free.
Composition and form of reishi mushroom in Mind Shi capsules
One serving - 2 capsules - contains 1000 mg of organic Ganoderma lucidum (reishi) fruiting body extract at a 10:1 concentration. This means that 1 part of extract is used to obtain 10 parts of raw mushroom. Each serving is standardized to 30% beta-1,3/1,6-glucans - the key polysaccharides that determine the product's activity.
The bottle contains 60 capsules - 30 servings. The product is vegan, organic, and non-GMO.
Why is it important that the fruiting body is used, not the mycelium?
Most cheap mushroom supplements on the market are made from mycelium grown on grain. This material contains a significant amount of starch (alpha-glucans) and little beta-glucans, the same compounds that people buy reishi for. Mind Shi uses only the fruiting body, the part of the mushroom that is most bioactive. The beta-glucan content is confirmed on the label and is tested for each batch.
What are beta-glucans and why are they in reishi?
Beta-1,3/1,6-glucans are complex polysaccharides that are believed to be the primary active compounds in reishi mushrooms. They are responsible for most of the properties attributed to the mushroom in scientific reviews. Mind Shi contains 30% of these compounds per serving - a figure that is listed right on the packaging, which is unusual for the mushroom supplement category in general.
In addition to beta-glucans, the fruiting body of reishi contains triterpenes and other phytonutrients, which are also part of the extract.
How many reishi capsules should you take per day?
The manufacturer recommends that adults take 2 capsules per day. This is one serving, which provides 1000 mg of reishi extract with a standardized content of beta-glucans. The instructions do not specify a specific time of intake.
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking any medications, consult your doctor before starting treatment.
Who is the reishi capsule format suitable for?
The capsule format is convenient for those who do not want to deal with powder or the bitter taste of mushroom extract. Reishi has a characteristic pronounced taste, so most people choose capsules for daily use. 60 capsules in a bottle - a 30-day supply at the recommended dosage.
The product is suitable for vegans and vegetarians and does not contain animal products, gluten, or GMO ingredients.
