Info: 60 Vegan Capsules with 500 mg of Fermented Organic Reishi
Reishi is widely regarded as one of the very best types of medicinal mushrooms, one that's rich in bioactive components such as polysaccharides and triterpenoids, which are proving to have a wide range of balancing and protective effects on many aspects of health. To derive the most benefits from their whole top parts, Living Alchemy has developed a process to not only maximize the bioavilability of their many nutrients, but to enhance them.

Product Notes:
Often dubbed the "mushroom of immortality," Reishi mushrooms have been used for millennia as tonifying herbs in Chinese and Japanese traditional medicine to help people adapt to stress, improve memory, reduce fatigue, and support their cardiovascular, respiratory, and general health. There's also been a great deal of current scientific research identifying their individual bioactive constituents and their effects (which include anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-oxidant, immuno-modulatory, and neuro-protective effects) for possible pharmaceutical applications as isolated extracts.
But because Reishi mushroom tops are notoriously tough and hard to digest, it's difficult to get their full benefits, even in powdered or tinctured form - until now. Living Alchemy ferments its certified non-GMO organic mushroom powders first, in a living culture kefir-kombucha blend containing dozens of types of probiotics, which break down not only their fibre content but also their individual cell walls, in order to release more active compounds and make the whole thing easier to digest and absorb. Third-party lab tests revealed this doubles the amount of more easily assimilated free amino acids that our bodies can use to produce energy or support immune function. The fermentation process also enhances the nutritional content of the Reishi with probiotics and postbiotics (compounds produced by probiotics when they break down or metabolize something), which can each help our digestive and immune systems, in their own right.
