GreenFood Nutrition Reishi Extract 120 capsules

Reishi and ling zhi are two different names for the same mushroom species. While ""reishi"" is the Japanese term, ""ling zhi"" is used in the Chinese language. Reishi has been used in China and Japan for many millennia. Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is a wood-destroying fungus that grows on dead trees or stumps. In traditional China, Reishi was considered so rare that it was only for the imperial family. Reishi contains a wide range of bioactive compounds. These include essential amino acids, B vitamins, minerals such as selenium and iron, germanium, polysaccharides, triterpenes and others. When a dietary supplement with Reishi states that it contains 30% polysaccharides, it means that almost a third of the content of the Reishi mushroom extract is made up of polysaccharides. Polysaccharides are long chains of carbohydrate molecules that have different biological properties. The standardization of the extract ensures that it contains exactly 30% polysaccharides, resulting in a consistent quality product. Standardisation also means that the product undergoes rigorous testing and controls to ensure that the polysaccharide content is as declared. Reishi with 30% polysaccharides is valued for its high concentration of bioactive components and its wide range of uses in dietary supplements, making it a popular choice.
