Reishi Extract 350 mg – 60 capsules

Introduction: The reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum), often referred to as the "mushroom of immortality," has been part of traditional Chinese medicine for more than 2,000 years. With its reputation as a powerful adaptogen and healing mushroom, Reishi has been used to promote overall health, longevity and immune support. Modern research has shown that Reishi extract can contribute to several health benefits, including support for the immune system, anti-inflammatory properties, and potential support for the heart.

Benefits and effects

1. Support for the immune system
   Reishi is known to contribute to a healthy immune response. The active compounds in the mushroom, including beta-glucans, can stimulate the body's immune cells such as macrophages and NK cells, which helps strengthen the body's defenses against infections and diseases. Research has suggested that Reishi can improve overall immune function, and it has been investigated for its role in cancer-supporting treatments.
   
   
2. Anti-inflammatory properties
   Triterpenes, an active compound in Reishi, have shown anti-inflammatory properties. This can help to reduce chronic inflammation, which is linked to several chronic diseases such as arthritis, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. By reducing inflammation, Reishi can help promote a general sense of well-being.
   
   
3. Cardiovascular system
   Several studies have shown that Reishi can have beneficial effects on heart health. It can help reduce blood pressure, lower cholesterol levels and improve blood circulation. By supporting the heart and cardiovascular system, regular use of Reishi extract can be a natural way to boost heart health.
   
   
4. Adaptogenic effect
   As an adaptogenic herb, Reishi helps the body adapt to stressors, whether physical, chemical or biological. This can help balance the body's stress response, improve sleep quality, and promote a more balanced mental state.
   
   
5. Antioxidant and anti-aging
   Reishi extract contains potent antioxidants that can protect cells against oxidative stress and free radicals. This helps to prevent cell and tissue damage, which in turn can help to slow down the aging process and improve the appearance of the skin.
