Some TCM and Modern Uses of Mushroom Products
"Mushrooms are valuable health food - low in calories, high in vegetable proteins, iron, zinc, chitin, chiton, fiber, vitamins & minerals." Mushrooms also have a long history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Their legendary effects on promoting good health and vitality and increasing your body's adaptive abilities have been supported by recent studies. These studies suggest that Mushrooms are probiotic - they help our body strengthen itself and fight off illness by maintaining physiological homeostasis - restoring our bodies health, balance and natural resistance to disease. The compounds they contain have been classified as Host Defense Potentiators
(HDP) which can have immune system enhancement properties ( boost immune system ).*
50% Ganoderma lucidum (also known as Reishi or Ling Zhi)/50%
Lentinula edodes (Shiitake)
ReiShi-Gen is a formulation of two of the most established
nutraceutical medicinal mushrooms. Both mushrooms have a long history of
use in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in supporting good health and
vitality. Their legendary effects have been supported by recent scientific
studies (Click here for references &
readings). "Shiitake protects against
certain cancers, tumors and infections—the latter through antiviral and
antibiotic actions." "Reishi’s bitter properties are due to its
rich supply of terpenoids, elite plant chemicals that can work as
antioxidants, immune-system stimulants, blood pressure regulators and
anti-cholesterol agents."* Specially selected proprietary strains of both Reishi and
Shiitake are used. Their growth is carefully monitored and
maintained. These strains are cultured under sterile conditions on an a
substrate of organic whole grain until they have reached the most
active stage of the mushroom life cycle. Then this biomass is processed
into powder. Nothing is added or removed - purity is always maintained.
Production of all biomass eliminates the variations found in harvested
wild mushrooms and allows control over every aspect of culturing,
processing, and quality assurance.
This results in a pure and reliable product. Produced &
Processed in the USA.

This antler-shaped mushroom is the most rare and valuable form of Red
Reishi. Known in China for over 4000 years as Ling Zhi, herbalist call
Reishi the herb of spiritual potency and used it to promote
good health and longevity.
Considered among the most powerful natural healing herbs in Asia, Red
Reishi was very rare and expensive to obtain until recently. Reishi is
rich in active organic compounds such as polysaccharides, amino acids,
proteins, triterpenes, ascorbic acid, sterols, lipids, alkaloids, a
glucose, a courmarine glycoside, volatile oil, riboflavin and more. These
compounds are being studied for their positive effects on the immune
system, including anti-tumor activity.** Asian cultures have also used Reishi, rendered in jade, as a talisman
worn around the neck. Sometimes, whole dried Reishi are placed in the home
to ward off evil.
