The Mushroom of Immortality
Revered in Traditional Chinese Medicine for over 2,000 years as the 'Lingzhi' or Mushroom of Immortality, Reishi is the world's most studied adaptogenic fungus.
Family
Ganodermataceae
Origin
East Asia — China, Japan, Korea
Primary Benefit
Stress & Immunity
Ganoderma lucidum has been a cornerstone of East Asian medicine for millennia, documented in the Shennong Bencao Jing (Divine Farmer's Classic of Materia Medica) as a superior tonic. Modern science has validated much of its traditional use, identifying over 400 distinct bioactive compounds. Its triterpene content — particularly the ganoderic acids — is responsible for its adaptogenic, hepatoprotective, and immune-modulating properties. The polysaccharide fraction, including beta-glucans, further enhances immune function by activating macrophages, NK cells, and T-lymphocytes. Reishi is a foundational ingredient for any premium wellness brand targeting stress, sleep, and immune health.
Adaptogenic Stress Relief
Triterpenes modulate the HPA axis, reducing cortisol response and supporting the body's resilience to physical and psychological stress.
Immune System Modulation
Beta-glucans activate innate and adaptive immune responses, increasing NK cell activity and macrophage phagocytosis.
Improved Sleep Quality
Adenosine and triterpene content promotes GABAergic activity, reducing sleep latency and improving sleep architecture.
Liver Support & Detoxification
Ganoderic acids inhibit hepatotoxic enzymes and support Phase I/II liver detoxification pathways.
Anti-Inflammatory Effects
Inhibits NF-κB signaling and COX-2 enzyme activity, reducing systemic inflammatory markers.
